I think the interesting bit is that he was paid by the club. Something doesn't seem right about Journalists being paid by clubs. Unless the journalist states in the the articles he writes about is he is being paid by us it has the smell of the old cash for comments.

Anyway it's probably not true anyway. Sounds a bit too unbelievable.

Maybe if anyone runs into a director they could ask the question and see.

Wait, someone has been writing positive stories about our club? If that's not an obvious sign we are in crisis I don't know what is.

Good point ME. If the accusation is factual, it would be a breach of the Broadcast Services Act blah blah. Lawsy/2UE got fined $360k in an extreme case when he failed to disclose the practice of advertorial pieces.

No it's not Rothfield. The article says the journalist has been working on the quiet. Phils articles on the Eels app aren't on the quiet. I wonder who it could be?

Apparently $BW is a done deal at the chooks. I'm guessing they might have to lose a forward to get him.

Do they have anyone we would be interested in?
