Rava being rubbed out

[Gareth67]

They probably aren't interested....we are not Melbourne or the Roosters.

Your right g.s , wrong jersey and among the lesser lights of the competition - as far as the NRL and tele networks are concerned .

What became of that video clip that Gourlay put together , someone said that they sent it to NRL 360 ?

I did send it to NRL360, but on the night that Ben Iken was leaving, so the show was just a love festival for Ben with not much to do with footy going on. The next show is tonight, with a new host, so I think the video will get lost in translation. Bad timing on my part, I guess.

If it's not hard to do keep sending it.

You tried OED , cannot do anymore than that mate . Nevertheless it would had been most interesting to gauge their reaction if they had played the clip .

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Wrong. Those pictured are horses, the judiciary panel members are in fact asses.

One of those asses is…..

Ben Creagh..

I fear that’ll be a fruitless effort…

Fox n Kent in particular fronted the campaign to get rid of Todd Greenberg / get Peter Vlandys appointed…

Ever Since Fox, and Paul Kent in particular, have done numerous PR campaigns for Vlandys… and even in the recent ridiculousness of season 2021 under Vlandys rule changes and crackdowns - the normally bitterness of Kent n co to the NRL establishment has been replaced with brown-nosing defence campaigns…. And not just him, Matt Johns too, along with Crawley, Shitschooper n co…it’s sickening..

You’re more likely to get them to show footage of Rupert Murdoch leaving a certain brothel than them showing that video of Ravalawa…

Not that I will watch 360 anymore… appointing Yvonne Samsung - the fox version of Tracey Grimshaw - as host… the same fox host who accused Ben Hunt of faking an injury during a game…

She’s a condescending insincere blob..

Tony Puletuna, Sean Garlick and Bob Lindner were on the Judiciary panel.

Ravalawa banned for four matches; Taukeiaho cleared

Dragons winger Miakele Ravalawa has been banned for four matches after unsuccessfully challenging a shoulder charge citation while Roosters prop Siosiua Taukeiaho has been cleared of a grade one careless high tackle for his shot on Nathan Cleary in round 15.

So Ben Creagh was away / has left?

 

[St Tangles]

So Ben Creagh was away / has left?

I think they have a group of people to pick from that rotate through pending availability

Not really privy to that info BBJF.

The article on nrl.com said it was an independent 3 man panel and Creagh's name wasn't mentioned. Nor was Dallas Johnson's name mentioned.

I must have missed her accusation of Ben. When did this happen?

Ben is still occasionally on the committee but you obviously can’t rule on Dragon’s players so would have to step aside because he still works for the club in some capacity

 

[BLM01]

Correct It makes sense
not everyone can be available every time to rule and as I said before Ben still works for our club

 

[Willow]

Are you suggesting the NRL recognise the potential for unintended favouritism?

Yeah ok thanks. I was also wondering why Sean Garlick can rule on Roosters players... he played for them.... but assume it's only of you're currently working for a club then as you suggested. Cheers.

 

[Adolf_Spritzer]

Yet Garlick played for East's, and ruled on Taukeiaho but in the NRLs eyes that's not a conflict of interest.. flogs the lot of them

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

I must have missed her accusation of Ben. When did this happen?

Picture early last season after Covid and we went on our horror run. At Fox its the same old "Dragons are in crisis" theme, Hooper playing the usual stick-poking journo to Dragons fans trying to get us all angry (Fox 101), but all of the usual suspects playing their part through the week.

So we are playing the Warriors up on the Central Coast - and we are having a mare of a game. Ben Hunt starts hobbling...injuring a leg but he is playing on. The Sideline reporters are doing the usual of trying to get an update on what the issue is... His movement gets progressively worse and he's in obvious pain whenever he kicks the ball.. He's basically playing on one leg.

Dragons have had a shocking game and so the Fox Machine kicks into Dragons Crisis mode again. They go back to the studio but now they have a lamb at the slaughter - Ben Hunt. So the reports come through from the Dragons to the sideline reporters that he's suffered some sort of cork, but he's had an issue with a boil previously, they are still trying to work out exactly the issue....

The panel start focussing on Hunt - and when they start talking about the news of Hunt's injury, playing on with a leg injury... Yvonne Sampson says, and I quote

"I don't quite believe that".

Basically she is saying he's faking it.

She's attacking his integrity.

In the day and age where Mental Health is so important, and people those at Fox are banging on about mental health's importance etc - to me it's all a PR facade. Yvonne Sampson out-and-out publically attacks the integrity of Ben Hunt with no foundation or consideration whatsoever. It was public knowledge that Hunt had had some struggles that season off the field. But the guy is still turning up and doing his best - even if that best isn't what the team really needs at the time. The guy get's injured yet Yvonne Sampson clicks into the Fox101 crisis mode and blatantly looks to fan flames of controversy. I'll never forget it and will never forgive her for it.

I actually had recorded it on my phone and wanted to post on the forums but didn't know how to upload a video at the time.

To me the person who's integrity is in question wasn't the guy who's playing on injured in a team that's struggling on the field, it's the host of a panel back on a comfortable studio who publically accused that player of faking his injury without any basis whatsoever - for the betterment of "controversy"....

To me - she's a fraud. "I don't quite believe her".. Yvonne Sampson is a fraud. And for that reason - I'll never watch NRL360 again.

@Bring back John Fifita , claims like this need a verifiable source. This might help a little, from June 2020...

Yvonne Sampson gives Dragons halves a reality check

Rugby league presenter Yvonne Sampson has joined the chorus of NRL pundits putting the blowtorch on Dragons halves Ben Hunt and Corey Norman after the side’s dismal restart to the season.

www.news.com.au

To be fair, she wasn't the only one laying the boot into Ben Hunt. More than a few fellow forummers here were joining in as well.

FTR, I never watch NRL360. IMO, Over the Black Dot leaves them all for dead.

Good show, gotta love big Georgie. Although he seems to be getting bigger every time I see him...

 

[SGMax]

I do watch NRL360 and I always thought Ben Ikin brought more sense and reason to discussions while Kent seems to bluster on aggressively about stuff he has no clue on....not that I agreed with them all but I could see Ben's reasoning.

Love it when Kent tries to talk technical with some of the great players like he would know with his 1 first grade game.
Anyway, what I noticed last night is that Yvonne is not contributing much, she has defaulted to the host / compere role where she runs the discussions and asks the guests for opinions.
