Rumours and Stuff

I have heard him a little bit on Tripple M

Lara Pitt when she has been on previously has shown up all those dribblers on there with proper journalistic takes and knowledge of the game.

I actually think Dan Ginnane would better suited to host or play the Paul Kent role as he isn't afraid to give an opinion and says it how it is.

I know most can't stand his commentary but listen to him on the sportsbet podcast and when he used to do drive show on triple m 10 years ago opinions on certain matters he wouldn't back down similar to Kent.

No to Lara as she is way to obliging and nice. Yeah sure I have seen her have moments with people where she hasn't taken sh*t and I initially thought the same as you, but the longer I watched her the less she impressed me with her knowledge and presence. She is just to nice and as informed as she can be, I don't think she has the same killer instincts as sat a Kent or the deep personal relationships other male journalists have. I'm not being a sexist here, it just is what it is. Male journalists that can go drink with coaches and players and others within the game on all nighter sessions, will always have closer ties and therefore better relationships within the game to call on.

She is a fine basic journalist, but nothing that I have seen suggests to me she would be a Paul Kent hard arse that has strong opinions whether I agree with them or not.

Ginnane on the other hand I agree, he does come off as a strong and direct opinionated personality. Someone that can actually contribute with his own investigations and thoughts and lippy enough to put arse wipes like James Hooper in their place when needed.
But yes he is a pretty ordinary Footy caller as so many are these days especially whoever that screaming idiot on nine is. Absolutely woeful. Thank God I have FOX.

Disagree. Ginnane was best on Deadset Legends or Rush Hour or whatever it was when he was host and didn’t give opinions but hyped up rugby league in general. People make fun of the GGGGOOODDDBYE but he was good when he didn’t have an agenda. I likened him to the new Eastlake. But I remember the moment he decided to have an agenda was one of the times Hayne was linked to Souths and he was spouting off that it was done deal, Hayne went on his show and said he was staying but Ginnane kept going on that he had the inside info that it was happening. Ever since then he’s had someone in his ear with similar facts that he opines on. He should’ve stayed an unaligned hype man, NRL commentary has been crying out for one since Rabs & Big Darryl

I was initially a fan of Anasta but certainly not any more. The way he gushes over Hooper's imaginary agendas is just pathetic.
I don't mind Gordon. He calls a spade a spade. Other than Creepy Crawley and The Bonnet Basher I don't mind the other jurnos mostly.

He was still whining yesterday the only reason NSW won this year was because QLD were missing 4 players like FMD

And anyone could have coached that series win haha.

I am sure Freddy could have stuffed it up.

I didn't recall anyone questioning any of QLD series wins when NSW have had players out.

Madge is going to have start fast up there you get the sense Tallis and co will be licking there lips at every opportunity the Broncs get beat to whack him.
