    I had to laugh watching the opening of NRL 360 - all four around the table heaped in on the media boycott ban. Saying it hurts the fans etc. Surprise surprise they are all in the media including the two ex-players Anasta and Gordie.

    I’m no fan of the RLPA and I’ve seen the odd industrial blue or two in my time, but they were all singing from the same song sheet without any semblance of reality. The media ban doesn’t hurt fans. It hurts the umpteen number of NRL shows that on the networks.

    Whether it’s effective or not is another question. But hurts the fans, turn it up.

      @ACT-Crusader given the amount of shit they make up, I don't know if it will change their insights much

        @bayimports they were talking about fans want access to the players during the half time and post game.

        What? So journos and ex players turned ‘commentators’ can ask the same inane and predictable questions and the players can trot out the same cliched answers.

        Now in saying all that, what will be hilarious is if channel 9 or Fox Sports get a bit cheeky and try and stop a player at half time and said player forgets there is a ban and they cross the picket line so to speak

          @ACT-Crusader will also will be interesting if a player talks to a fan thinking they are ok and fan records sound bite on their own phone and then sells it to the media

          I'm sure someone will forget somewhere 🙂

            This one-eyed commentary is hilarious. 20 minutes into the first half and they’re already talking “if Parramatta can win this, it would be so good”

              We are playing like the Golden State Warriors - lots of speed but so many turnovers.

              But our defence is good

                Nice try there.

                The Eels right winger is all at sea in defence.

                  Another try.

                  Egan a great run out of dummy half to set it up.

                  Metcalf scores, just! If he didn’t we had players out wide to score.

                  Speed is excellent. We’ve cut the errors out.

                    We’re carving up.

                    Great half especially after last weeks disaster.

                                  @canefan yep was dry.

                                  The first 20 was an error ridden mess from the Wahs, but once they sorted out their error rate they were bloody excellent!

                                  Best moment for me was after the Eels scored their 2nd try, the Warriors looked really f’ing pissed off with themselves.

                                  To have that attitude when you’re 30 points up is a great sign.

                                    Arise Luke Metcalf..showing hints of the second coming that we all hoped, should have had a hat trick in that first half though. Just hope Dylan Walker is ok, he was also very strong through the middle. Lots of good performances tonight against a Parra team minus most of their spine, just need to cut out the errors

                                    Corp box great way to view as well.. lol

                                    anyway great win, struggle to remember the last game I visited a warriors game and we won, time to get back to the beers

                                        Yep I am a pessimist, but I can't help thinking now that the Warriors are doing well and the Aussie coach and a number of Aussie players are performing, the said coach and players will return to an Aussie club as soon as they can.

                                          You can thank me for that win. A mate and I were going to this match but we canned it on Friday as he was working yesterday. Would have been a sure loss if we'd gone to the match.
