Gould obviously has adopted Rothfield's no dickhead policy. Only he got it right...

It was actually quite a touching story, but reading it all i could think was "his writing is SO POOR!! how did this person ever get a job as a journo?!?!?"

Yeah, why does this guy have his entries from the Sharks Forum published all the time ?

I knew it wouldn't take long before Beetroot head would start the GWS is taking over Western Sydney routine.

The idiot is so f**king predictable.

Parramatta’s slump to the bottom of the NRL table could not have come at a worse time.

Not when the GWS Giants are emerging as the biggest story in Sydney’s west since the magnificent early success of the Western Sydney Wanderers in the soccer.

The Giants flogged Carlton on Saturday afternoon and are now running equal third on the AFL premiership table, despite having played only one game at home.

I’m no expert but they say this young guy Jeremy Cameron is a budding superstar.

At the same time, the Parramatta Eels are a debacle.

So the Eels better start winning or the Wanderderps and now GWS will take over.

So f**king predictable.

More of the same in paper today from Rothfeldsmen.

League is dying in Sydney and AFL, union, soccer and even netball taking over.

A journalistic genius.

The 12k home crowd?

He was one of the journos who said GWS were a complete waste of time and money when they were getting flogged.

I have no idea what Rothfield is trying to say about crowds in Sydney. He says something along the lines of "this is the first time in the history of the NRL where 2 interstate games had larger crowds than any games in Sydney". The top 2 crowds were Cowboys vs Broncos (24531) and Melbourne vs Souths (18067), both games outside Sydney. Okay, but is this the first time ever???

Let's see how far back we need to go...

Round 9, 2015:
Top attendances:
- Broncos vs Panthers - 24566
- Cowboys vs Bulldogs - 15794

The man is an idiot!
