Farkin' 'ell.

Keep people on who understand & appreciate the game. Not some Gossip Queen.

Weidler's the gossip queen.

This sort of stuff is natural progression. The game was sold off to a media company that has built its brand on titillation, soft-porn and innuendo. Now, the reporting of the game focusses on titillation, innuendo etc.

What did you expect?

The Akermanis bit was tedious beyond belief. And the Wolfman skit was barely funny, Williams is now a cartoon than a cult figure.

The animals fornicating was just rubbish. Wouldn't have happened if Packer was still around.

Wow, really? I thought the wolfy skit was HILLARIOUS!! I just wish I could find it on youtube or something..

He's so dreamy..

I think the Footy Show needs a gay, black Stephen Hawkings-type with Gallop next to him saying "this is great for umm ahh News Limited ermm ahh sorry rugby league". The Vossy can interrupt them and say "prove you can't walk" while Fatty just rolls his eyes saying "she's alright". meanwhile, Gus can just loll back giving the impression this is all beneath him because he always knows better.

Maybe Matty Johns can rejoin the crew with a new character - Sharky who works at Bunnings. Can't hurt.

But - she was right. And she's had the guts to push forward with the story.

Would you prefer rugby league was all about puff pieces from Danny Weidler - "I have it on good authority that the Eels will retain the blue and gold colours for at least the next 5 years".

Problem is we don't get enough puff pieces these days.

Sorry if this has been said before, but that "So you think you can play" segment is a rip off from the NRL on Fox show "Prp's Pentathlon', but alot worse!

Phil Gould on every week is now becoming a bit much, the same with Vossy. The show needs alot of new faces, save Gould & Vossy for the weekends otherwise the way this show is going, it will be no more soon. I know that has been said before, but it is seriously crap now!
