      Gordie was sitting their trying to impress Hooper while Hooper was sitting their death-staring Clint Newton acting all pissed off when he's never played a game of footy in his life but realistically Hooper is loving every moment of it and wants it to drag on as long as possible so he can pump out clickbait headlines and bag as many people as he wants under the psuedonym "Foxsports Writers". Typical media trouble making gutless wonder

    Gordon Tallis yet again does not come across as the greatest thinker, and is pretty self interested. He has a media contract and role in NRL related activities. Comparing $100k with $400k from totally different era's is idiotic, inflation, house prices etc have all changed.

    • @clarkkent2468
      @clarkkent2468 Год назад +4

    Good on you Clint & the boys fighting for better conditions & pay. I think what a lot of people are forgetting is that playing Rugby League is these guys & Womens jobs. It is no different to the average joe at his workplace being in a Union & fighting going out the gate for better conditions & pay. Yes these guys do get payed a lot i keep hearing this argument. Guys that work in oil & gas or mines get more than blokes doing the same job on city sites. They are both in unions fighting for better conditions better pay even though the guys in oil & gas or mines are getting payed way more than the city guys. It is no different at the end of the day it is these league guys & girls job so they have a right to fight for better regardless of what they are payed. Stay strong brothers & sisters👍 Oh & Gordon Tallis didn't you leave St George for more? Didn't you go to Super league for more? Gordon also critisizes players for sayingc stuff to reffs etc not that i condone it but correct me if i'm wrong didn't Gordon get sent off for abusing Bill Harrigan? Gordon soon forgets his past. Funny Gordon critisizes players for media ban also now he is a media person. Massive Broncos supporter loved Gordon in his playing days but it's fair to say you have become a bit of a tosser Gordon👎

    Wade and Woods, why take it out on media and fans . Without the media, no one would even know the players. You wouldn't be getting the money your paid now. Channel 9 and foxtel have made you players' household names. Now, if you and other players had come out on channel 9 and foxtel and did what you did here, you would have more power, not go silent in media. Great way of showing thanks to the ones that could have helped get players' side out there..
    Also, why can't anyone tell us what the 100 issues are

    • @clarkkent2468
      @clarkkent2468 Год назад +6

      Players aren't taking it out on the fans that much. It's more the media that are having a cry about it. So many podcast shows out there with the players speaking out. Interviews on channel 9 or fox will be a waste of time because they're so one-sided they won't let the players speak out. Whi aren't the media after the nrl?? All I see is them attacking the players
