How the NRL (and other sports media) in Australia works
Find rumour x player is possibly signing somewhere else next year. Print story after story about said possible move. As soon as players team loses, print story about how contract situation is providing distraction. Print more stories about transfer. Print more stories about how the distraction is affecting the team. Print stories about how contract system needs to change as it is not fair to clubs and fans to constantly hear speculation. Repeat repeat repeat.
Alternatively. Find battling club. Print a thousand stories about said club. Write stories about the stories. Sit on panel shows, talk about stories. Write story the next day about increased pressure which is nothing more than the same story now being told 3 times. Write stories about how doing nothing is the problem. When changes are made, write stories about how changes show coach is desperate. Repeat until coach fired. Start again.
There are about half a dozen NRL writers. They are all write in papers and appear on the same shows and talk the same shit and then use that as the basis for the next days bullshit. Over and over again.
and, to follow the point (why the fuck do i do this to myself)
The biggest dumb fluffybunny in the small pool of NRL reporting dumb fluffybunnies James Hooper has today written his 25th Wests Tigers article of the week
Today's topic? The CEO taking a week's AL
The football team is losing, why is the CEO going on holiday? That's what the offseason is for?James, you stupid bald fluffybunny, guess when the CEO is actually busy? Go on, guess! is it during the season, when the spotlight is on the football department. Or, and stay with me now, is it over the offseason, getting everything put in place for the Football team and the club to operate during the season?
Is the CEO being there over Easter going to help the footy team win on Monday? No, it most surely is not (and if it is, then there are bigger problems at Leichhardt than i thought)Now, you'll notice i haven't said the CEO has done a good job, because i think it's fair to say he hasn't. But, him taking his family on a holiday they have had to cancel 3 times over Easter is not the story you seem to hope it is.
Seriously you're getting worked up over the Hooper muppet? if ever there was a journo (and there a few) to ignore it would be that bottom feeder lol
I'm not worked up, it's just been rammed home to me over the past week what a circuit the NRL media is (not a typo, i mean a circuit). They just spout deadshit opinions, get their mates to agree, and then write articles that about that, and so on.
I don't actually watch it, but there is a case to be made that NRL360 is at the same time the dumbest, and most poisonous show on TV.
At least when Lara Pitt was there after Ikin had to go she tried hard to reign in the deadshits. So of course she was rissoled for the slightly retarded Braith Anasta

It was made official IIRC. But because they are the darlings of Sydney nothing happened

That's probably what it was then. That was the one that hurt. We had a generational team and soon after it all fell apart

we were in it. The hit and headbutt on Fittler fires them up, Morley smashes Villasanti, and they smashed us in the last quarter.
At least, that's how i remember a 20 year old game i have seen once. -

Cowboys go to Canberra and win
Are the drums beating for Ricky? Are they fuck. Ricky is mates with the right people.

At least, that's how i remember a 20 year old game i have seen once.We were definitely in it. That penalty against us (hit on Fitler) did turn the game.
Stacey struggled in the 2nd half and we couldn’t get any width in our play.
But what a team we had. Workhorses in the middle, ball players and footwork on the edges, a very good spine up there with the best of them and try scoring power out wide.

So many were homegrown too. A waste that we never won it all

This Melbourne v Cronulla is incredible. Two great teams going try for try.

Why do teams bomb to Daniel Tupou
Also that was a fucking sin bin. If that had been Walsh he would have gone

As Payten said, if that was a bottom team sin bin for sure.
Mistakes from both teams so far, hopefully Curran comes back soon. Looking slightly better than the roosters so far on attack though in red zone
-
Both teams with lots of errors, but roosters capitalise this time to take the lead, Warriors just terrible under a high ball
-
Roosters in again, curious to see if the Warriors hang in this one or let the Roosters run riot, it’s hot and the Warriors look tired, could be a blow out
-
Few rough calls now against Warriors, jeez ref is shit today
