Peter FitzSimons slams Wallabies players for ‘outrageous’ move against teammates

NOVEMBER 25, 201812:37pm

Former rugby star turned journalist and Channel 9 TV personality Peter FitzSimons has slammed Wallabies players for dobbing in their teammates Adam Ashley-Cooper and Kurtley Beale.
A crushing 37-18 loss to England this morning marked the first time in their 109-year history the Aussies have lost six consecutive matches to the Poms. Michael Cheika’s men have lost nine of 13 Tests this year, giving them their worst winning ratio since 1958.

But with the World Cup just 10 months away, the Wallabies’ record was a secondary consideration for FitzSimons with the suspension of Ashley-Cooper and Beale the bigger issue.

NSW VOTES
Sydney will lose NRL grand final if stadium spend stops: Greenberg
As to the threat from NRL CEO Todd Greenberg that they will take the NRL grand final elsewhere if the taxpayers don’t cough up ... I call bullshit. As someone noted on Twitter, there can be no doubt that the NRL needs Sydney a hell of a lot more than Sydney needs the NRL. And sure, a grand final between the Broncos and Cowboys would go well for the famously parochial Queenslanders north of the Tweed. But say the Melbourne Storm and the Canberra Raiders make the grand final. Who actually thinks you’d fill Suncorp Stadium with that line-up? Exactly.

And if I am wrong, and Greenberg does move the grand final to Brissie, so what? The truth is that the TV coverage is so good these days, more and more people prefer to watch it on the box anyway. Besides which, the whole point of calling it the National Rugby League was to highlight that the game was played more widely than NSW.


In sum, the NRL would be crazy to move the grand final away from its biggest market, but even if it did, we in Sydney would somehow manage.
