No word on Mick Gatto and Essendon, I thought this was a big story???

I love how commentors like these niff-nuffs dance around the reasons as to why rugby union has to cut super rugby team? The elephant in the room no one mentions, AFL's cashed up predatory, crush them all expansion into the northern states, private schools and womens sport.

6 minutes on Simona issue ,and Hinds commenting in his condescending rl way,how is it with so many incidents people are still following the game,surely they must be getting upset by now.
He mentioned the same point on an earlier program.
John Stanley blaming poker machines funding NRL clubs.Whately sitting back with his usual smug smile, whilst his panel endeavours to decimate the NRL.
Must admit Mel Mac at least partially stood up for NRL players.
Three minutes actual NRL coverage on the Broncos v Cows,no mention any of the remaining games.
AFL 4 minutes and AWFL 2 minutes.
Ask yourself if there's any AFL bias. 2 minutes womens' AFL compared to 3 minutes actual NRL coverage.

Possibly been told by aFL house that if they want to keep their aFL accreditation's they mustn't mention fumbleball scandals.

I give up. Honestly. The only way I find out about what is going on on Offsiders is when I come in here.

The bias is staggering and a little infuriating to be honest. No other sport is scruinised the way rugby league is. IT is f**king disgusting. Oh, and f**k Tim Simona. Get's busted being a f**kwit andsells his story to the papers.

Talk about zero responsibility for his actions.

Maybe someone needs to write a bleeding heart story from rl fans' perspective a bit like that Essendon one. How we survive despite the star scandals.

First time in years I caught 9s sport show before SUNDAY footy show and some lady basically says about Essendon, we're over it, move on. Sweep, sweep.

And RL fans are bad in stands, yet afl fans everywhere got to boo Australian of the Year for 22 weeks home and away.

Hinds is such a poseur, wrote about league on top his high horse down in Melbourne pretending to be a Sydney journo for the telegraph.

Apparently Simona is the majority, not the minority of NRL players, & the incident proves the NRL is just full of bad eggs. Gee, could it be that the only NRL news this poseur & thousands of Victorians like him read are the amplified back pages of the telegraph?

Meanwhile, in Melbourne, any time the media catch wind of a local choir boy behaving badly they dutifully tip off the club and it's swept under the shag. Has the way the AFL handled the ASADA investigation not demonstrated the systemic culture of coverup within the often proclaimed AFL "industry"? You know, like after the darkest day press conference when the AFL privately briefed the influential members of the sycophantic Melbourne media and told them all it was all just an NRL problem & they were dragged along to the press conference by association!


Of course not, we are just paranoid rugby league fans!

Here was their response to my complaint, and no, "Tony Greenberg" is not a typo, which really only epitomises my point!


Enjoy!

Read this ABC response and then watch today's episode where they spent the majority of time putting the boot into the NRL over Simona with absolutely no word of the latest Essendon allegations... its all in our imagination!

Just keep reminding them:
Essonbong - huge player bans and fines and still ongoing in the media. Hird and some other ex club officials now trying to bring down the AFL.
Sharks - 2016 premiers. whatever doping happened is now all but forgotten.

If by "Essendon allegations" you mean the Mick Gatto thing? Then that'd be a beat up. You should be excited that got some air.
