What a surprise. Channel 7 going the sensationalist side and running with Nick Tabakoff's version of events, giving little credence to Max's statement this afternoon, bar a brief mention of 'The Eels have denied the allegations".

The NRL really need to come out and start doing something about the hysterical media looking for a daily headline.
But no, Todd will sit on his hands and nothing will happen except official toe the line statements.
I'm sick of all this shit. It's really turning me off the sport.

I was thinking about this today.
Nick Tabakcock is quoting 2 bedroom units - which they probably are. There could be as many as 3 - 4 players in each unit.
Is it possible that the $100- $150 per week ($5200 - $7800 per annum) is what has been attributed to EACH players contract for salary cap purposes, therefore making the rent look under-valued, whereas if each unit had 3 -4 players in it, the rental value of the unit would actually be more akin to market value?
Not sure if I'm missing something here. Could this be possible?
Na I reckon it’s what was reported, we subsidised the players with below market rent, but also what Max has said and we already told the NRL and it’s in our cap and that Jerkandkoff has assumed he’d got us again

That's possible/probable too.

Either way, Tabakock is barking up the wrong tree I reckon. Looking for another Walkley.
If this proves to be bullshit, he should have the last one taken off him.

So who was the "abused" woman with the blurry face on 7? Dead set The Media will destroy our game. Bring on the off season. Im over all the recent sh*t.

Stop watching Channel 7 you geese.

I have it on because I like watching The Chase. My main news source is the ABC at 7 pm, but it still annoys me that this sort of journalism is par for the course.

On another crap journalism front, I reckon Rayyyy would have been going off this morning after Malcolm retained the leadership. Would have been comedy radio.

Ch7 are expected to merge with News Ltd. So they are just warming up to Rupert’s ways.

Actually The Chase is not a bad show...I only tend to see it when I visit the parents though.

I'll wait for Delboy's confirmation of the the content of the Ray show :)

Mmmm. Didn't know that (or had forgotten).
That would explain why up until about 3 months ago, every story on NSW transport policy was positive. Talking up all the infrastructure projects currently underway and into the future.
Since then, nearly every single night, there is a negative story about exactly the same projects.
f**kwits.
