He might be right but it is pretty concerning the direct line Baldy and Kent have into Raiders HQ. If I was a player I'd be walking on egg shells not knowing what conversations I've had with management will or will not make it onto NRL360 on a Monday.

Im Sure Hooper may think he is helping his mate "Sticky" but he is making him look worse and worse the more he continues to talk about the Raiders.

Its really amateur hour and it sews distrust.

Take Hodgson at the start of the year. Its a pretty common criticism of Hodgson that he tries to take on too much and just starts spamming plays when he feels the team isnt performing. So everyone with working eyes can see that he is overplaying his hand.

So when Stick has a chat to him and says buddy you are overplaying your hand and then Sticks mates in the media report the same thing it might make Hodgson a little paranoid that Stick is talking about his players to his friends to get Stick put into a positive light

Now, maybe Stick didnt talk to the media and they just drew the same conclusion a lot of people have drawn but because every man and his dog knows that Stick leaks to Kent and the other numbskulls it puts the players on edge when they see the media talking about them in terms that Stick has used.

He needs to stop talking to the press or he needs to go

So say Williams sought a release for the end of the season, and then he got an injury that sat him out for a month, would the Raiders be justified in releasing him immediately?

No? So why are they treating Mental Health differently?

Just a little FYI, friend
Virtually everything Hooper reported in real time about the JB situation turned out to be 100% correct. And JB came out of that little spat looking quite the fool to anyone who followed it.

I wouldnt be so quick to dismiss this.

George Williams tweet originally was in response to a Fox article headline stating 'How George Williams dumped the Raiders by TEXT". GW states that this is false. This is now backed up in Baldy's article, even though it was a sad attempt to sling mud.

The only thing Baldy adds is that GW was looking elsewhere in summer. Big whoop. Things change, partners become expectant, canberra winters get colder. But bald and dumb remains forever.

The leaks make us look terrible. If Sticks feeding this to Baldy he's gone off the deep end.

Well big ups to George
He didn’t dump the club by text, he just attempted to get out the club and to a Sydney location, then told them he was home sick, then that he wouldn’t play or train with them because his mental health was so bad he couldn’t even face the club, and then tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube when he realised the cheques would stop coming in immediately because we agreed to release him

Big f**king round of applause for Georgey haha

he wanted his cake and to eat it too, and that’s fine by me, everyone should do what is in their best interests
Trouble is that everyone includes the club. They’ve called his bluff and now he wants some of chips back from the pot

sorry George, that’s not how the game works
You played the game, you pot committed and now it’s time to see the cards and he knows he has no hand.
So yeah, you focus on Hooper because he’s a detestable piece of shit. Problem is even a broken clock is right twice a day, Hooper has absolutely nailed this situation in his article

We've all missed the imploding Broncos from last season, so good on you Ricky (& Raiders) for stepping up to the plate.
