360 will be so meh.

I hope the undertaker music plays halfway through and Maroon walks in and Tombstones Hoops, then takes over the show for good. #justice

Fox will lift the rug in nrl360 and with a prepared statement about a personal matter will sweep it straight under.

If this were a player, it would be big headlines re domestic violence etc etc.
"You might have spotted theres an absence on panel tonight. Kenty got a little carried away on Friday night. Nobody died, despite his best attempts, and we're hopeful to have him back on board and having a laugh about all this soon."

While this is true, it doesn't seem to stop News LTD when it's a player involved. Although admittedly I don't use Twitter I've not seen them limit comments on other socials when players are involved either.

So there's definitely a double standard there as well IMO.

Anyway like I said he's scum even without these charges. If proven it won't lose him many fans...
It's because he's their employee. It's why 9 was able to run the story and Fox weren't.

Yep, Cowards.

They throw anyone else under the bus and carry on about the no fault stand down policy and all the rest.

Yet Kent is arrested and it's personal issues time. What cowards.

That was a fantastic opportunity to make a stand and say no, this isn't acceptable and given the seriousness of the charges Kent has been stood down, should the charges be proven his employment will be terminated.

FFS they fully support the no fault stand down and Kent himself with his tough talking players can cop it and don't put themselves in that position etc, yet instead of taking a strong stance and saying no, violence against women is wrong and even our own are not immune, they cover him in the warm embrace of cowardice and run with "Personal Issues".

He's an employee so they're not going to get into it. I understand that. But the "personal issues" line is pure horse manure.

If they had opened the show "Paul Kent was arrested and has been charged with a criminal offence. He has been stood down indefinitely and Fox Sports won't be making further comment while this matter is in the courts."

Personal issues. Rubbish.

Entire Monday Night NRL 360 To Be Devoted To St George Dragons Coaching Crisis And Nothing Else​


Fox Sports have today confirmed that tonight’s NRL360 will be one for the ages!

The pay TV home of Rugby League has informed the Advocate that this week’s Monday night NRL360 will be one of ‘the biggest, most drama filled editions of the show in history.’

Not because one of the presenters was arrested and has been charged, but because the panel is set to spend the entire 60 minutes talking about the crisis that is besetting the St George Illawarra Dragons.

“The Dragons have lost 6 games in a row, and coach Anthony Griffin is on the chopping block,” said one producer this morning.

And given we turn the microscope on all the contentious topics in Rugby League, we’ll be diving into that and have a conversation about all the tough topics,” he continued.

“We have a proud reputation of leaving no stone unturned, and giving favourable treatment to no one!” said the producer of a show that pounces on any indiscretions from players and coaches both on and off the field.

The confirmation of the full hour of Dragons chat comes after numerous Rugby League fans have taken to social media to ask whether there will be any discussion of the horrific allegations levelled against you-know-who

However, given the insular nature of the media – the powers at be are seemingly happy to just completely ignore the allegations and allow them to run their course without generating even a ripple in the news cycle.

“If we do somehow run out of things to talk about in regards to the Dragons, we’ll move onto the attitude issue at the Panthers,” finished the producer.

“Did you see Luai shush the cameras after the game on Friday night? That type of behaviour is unacceptable and he deserves to be hammered for it.”

More to come.

The opening title for the show was changed to "Elephant In The Room 360". :)

(BTW, it's NEWS Corp)

They have a newspaper to run tomorrow morning, and a website for anyone dumb enough to pay for it's content.

And just to think that for the price of three of their newspapers during this week, one can buy a 24 pack of ALDIS toilet rolls, and still you'd get more shit off of that tabloid of theirs.
