NRL 360 + other footy shows

Not this dick again. Come back, Megan.

Is she still with FOX?

I can't believe they have punted her and or other lovely female hosts for these dead set boring male hosts. It's not like a show like this needs a expert former player to host it. Just someone that knows the game well and can present well and facilitate good discussion.

All these male hosts are so freakin boring and don't add anything more in their personality or knowledge of the game then the female presenters do. So bring back the girls ffs!

Also I would love to see a new NRL Show be created with Emma Lawrence, Renee Gartner and Katie Brown as presenters. A round table type of show similar to NRL360 but females hosting it instead. But they must be hard hitting and analytical and have guests on just like NRL360 where they breakdown the issues of the day or week. They will need an angry merkin female though to drive the debates and fiery discussion that makes shows like this more interesting. I don't know who that would be because females always try to be sweet and agreeable on presentation shows. Anyone have any suggestions? Someone with wit and attitude would be Ideal.

An all girl panel, maybe with a feisty NRLW former or current player thrown into the mix would be awesome I think. We need to mix it up and give a new fresh look and feel to these footy shows. I watched the new 'Benji' show the first two episodes and that was enough for me. So typical and boring. Most players think they are cool and funny, but aren't. Benji falls into this category.

Women always make watching tele better. But for a Footy Show we need the women to have personality and speak their mind otherwise it just won't work and they will come off as lightweights and the show will fail.

I have changed my tune leave vonny away from 360 and keep braith there.

At least he has balls to challenge these dickhead journos in Rothfield, Crawley opinions not get walked over and talk some proper sense.

And while i am at it keep Braith away from the commentary box and just keep him on the panels pre and post match suits his style so much better.

Yes I have to whole heartedly agree. I love his contribution to the discussion. Way better then Ikin's usually passive personality and when he would make a definitive statement on an issue half the time he would out goose himself with some pseudo intellectual waffle trying to sound smarter then the others.

Braith's presenting still need polishing, but he has gotten better as he gets more comfortable and experienced. But his forthright dialogue in the discussions and debates is the best the show has ever had. Makes the show and it is now becoming more of a free for all with 4 blokes discussing footy and their almost uncensored opinions being aired. With the inevitable but normal 'putting sh*t on each other' as a welcome outcome for all of us viewers to laugh at and enjoy.

I've always liked Vonny but she should not go anywhere near NRL360 again. She need to comeback doing the pre and post game shows like she first used to and get back to presenting without the incessant giggling. She was great, but the last year or so, I don't know what has happened to her. She just became a fan girl for the blokes to get a giggle out of and lost her credibility. Also she needs to stop repeating virtually the entire just completed interview like she has been doing. We all just saw the freakin thing too Vonny. We aren't goldfish. We can remember stuff for more then a couple of minutes you know.

I suspect she's on leave. Haven't seen her since that journo was talking about her in a WhatsApp group or something and then got fired. Hopefully she returns.
Not too sure I'm keen on the all female panel show as they tried that and it was pretty bad tbh.

I think she was over in NZ doing the Women's one day world cup. May have taken a break after that though

I think that those previous female footy shows were rank because they were all to pleasant and amicable to the point of boredom. No controversy or hard nosed opinion, which is just plain stupid for a footy show. Footy is all about loud and opinionated wankers having a dig at one another and a laugh ffs! Sitting there all pretty and complimenting to one another was ridiculous and they may as well have been having tea with my grandmother on a Sunday arvo swapping Hobnobs recipes.

We all need to be entertained. Constant pleasantries for a footy show is never going to pass the musted, but the panellists need to look and feel comfortable in being part of lively debate so it is natural and not forced either. That's why you need the right women to pull it off or just don't bother.

I think with the growth of the NRLW there is room for a full female show. Millie Boyle was on the Marty John’s show the other night and was entertaining, mostly because you could see she hadn’t been media trained (ie neutered) and so came across as genuine.

I agree that with the NRLW there is more scope to find the right knowledgeable and informed women, but Millie for example was to nice and sweet. That would get real tiresome and boring real quick. We need Kent and Anasta type of gibberers to drive the agenda or it will fail.

They had a all female show on Fox couple of years ago, failed miserably. They had female footy players on as well as male ones. Excruciatingly bad

The womens NRL comp is only the last 4-6 weeks of the year (will grow as more teams added). If they are going to have an all female show maybe have it Starting a week or so before their NRL comp starts

Who are the Stephen A, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe equivalents of the NRL?
I’ll say Gus Gould= Skip Bayless
Paul Kent= Shannon Sharpe
Stephen A= Gavin Robertson
