It would be ok for him not to recognise a Perth jersey but this is twice now that he made glaring errors. I was prepared to cut him some slack but twice from a self confessed ‘passionate league supporter’. Dave Smith, was pilloried for the ‘Benji Barba’ gaffe but he had an excuse, he was a banker. Beattie doesn’t have an excuse other than he’s a w*nker.

I think this one is more that he does not know Barcelona than he does not know the Knights. With the number of different jerseys teams wear each year not to mention training jerseys, t-shirts etc this is not a bad mistake.
I am more sickened that he does interviews with gout face Karl. It would be cool if he started calling Karl Kochie during the interview.

And their was no full on rugby league Nines tournament featured. That's when I lost interest. Certainly wasn't the least bit interested in J grade union players who can't tackle .

they should try to get touch footy in the commonwealth games. They could have a mixed comp. How many sport have the men and women competing together.

No, I'm just not really interested in it - all top Olympic nations are missing and even Brittain is weakened into the home nations.
I enjoyed it, the countries were more genuine winning the gold.
US and China win golds simply for having 201020 times the population of everyone else.

And Brits only did that to use as an excuse for their failure.

Realistically though, how much can one person be held responsible for the State that gave us Pauline Hanson, Joh Bjelke Petersen, Bob Katter, XXXX Gold, Cameron Smith and Savage Garden?

Gorden Tallis, Wendell Sailor, Wayne Ferkin Bennett and Justin Hodges.

While it seems most on here are deflecting and don't seem to care about this 'becsuse it's the commonwealth games', the NRL takes another material hit to its reputation which already looks unprofessional and amateurish enough as it is. How do we expect the community and potential sponsors to take us seriously when the head of our sport can't even identify participating teams?

Beattie's face next to the words 'rugby league chairman' and 'gaffe' don't stop coming up on social media feeds.
