Where to for quality Rugby journalism???

^^^^ we'll clear have to agree to disagree re: GP but hard to argue with your assessment of the others.

 

[wamberal]

I used to quite like Wynne Gray.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^^^ was good back in the day but now he's like your oldest uncle who starts telling a potentially ripping good yarn but nods off half way through.

 

[RebelYell]

Wynne Gray is awful. Wrote a Fox Sports column for 6 months or so in the last couple of years, was genuine dribble

 

[wamberal]

I have not read anything by Wynne Gray for a dozen years.


Anybody who thinks that Gray wrote genuine dribble has not read anything by the master of the genre: Greg Growfat.

 

[sunnyboys]

Not sure if this belongs here but Growdens Ruck n Maul column is back in the SMH...

Not sure if this belongs here but Growdens Ruck n Maul column is back in the SMH.

Highlights how the SMH is turning into a turd

1st column from the gossip columnist

Cheika not getting some performance bonuses
Clyne about to be sacked
Complaining about other commentators being too positive\excited about Aus rugby
Kick Folau in the week he resigns
Irrelevant rumours about some ex official

Faark, what a miserable clown

and..........

Greg Growden is Chief Rugby Correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald

 

[Derpus]

Kick Folau in the week he resigns

Faark, what a miserable clown

re-signs, had a mini heart attack.

 

[Braveheart81]

GeeRob is still listed as Chief Rugby Reporter so presumably getting Growden back was on the proviso that they made him the chief gossip columnist.

No idea why they did it.

Not one minute into the comp and this muppet is his usual negative self. I stopped reading his columns years ago, yes rugby in Australia could be a lot better but come on! how about writing something positive for a change.

Greg Gowden = Sour old man

 

[RebelYell]

I actually think it's good to have somebody highlighting how poor the performance of Castle & Clyne is.

And at the risk of losing this group, even Alan Jones' first column of the year was fairly reasonable.

Yeah you are better off making a questionable statement in isolation, rather than coupling it with an assertion no reasonable person could seriously contend.

 

[Jamie]

I think the timing is wrong, do they have to jump on the attack right before the start of the season? No.

Yes we can discuss the shortcomings of RA and Co for months on end, myself personally I not even thinking Wallabies/RA, just hoping for some good rugby by Aus sides and a good comp in general, I actually can't wait to leave work and watch the first kiwi game.

So what has Castle done that is so bad?

 

[wamberal]

It's probably what she hasn't done. She has not sacked the board and all the staff.

She can't sack the board and most of the senior staff are relatively new. Most of the old lot left around Pulver's exit or earlier.

Err, yes, I know. I was trying to answer Fatty's question: "what has she done that is so bad?"

Wasn't Faifax recenty taken over by Nine? Maybe something to do with the new owners.
