Where to for quality Rugby journalism???

[Bruce Ross]

Horan's now channelling Strop from the Paul Hogan Show in the on-field interviews. He's got the jaw jut off pat.

Horan is an absolute shocker. Clarke knows no-one except the 'big names'. Cannon has had one too many head knocks. Marto is a fool. Kearns = Marto. Kafe isn't too bad.

God we need new commentators.

I thought that Nathan Sharpe acquitted himself well last night: at least he wasn't wearing a red nose and red shoes.

 

[Braveheart81]

Horan is like Max Walker as portrayed by Billy Birmingham on all the Twelfth Man albums.

He incessantly calls the obvious, except with less accuracy.

I was very deliberate to omit Sharpie.

Did you hear Sharpe last night? Provided coherent, timely and at times insightful comments. Didn't fit the team ethos - he's a goner, for sure.

 

[Paradox]

You've got to love Sharpy. Big humble man with a shiny bald head.

Does he really expect people to believe that?

Wouldn't be sad if Grumbles is correct about the Tahs CEO.

I felt slightly nostalgic when Growden left the SMH. Now I can read his column again its bringing back all those articles when I went, WTF. I hate it. Stop being so fricken cryptic and vague.

........and stop posting links to his articles everyone.

I'm sure it only encourages him. And he seem to be writing more now than he has for years.
But I love the responses it brings from GGers.

 

[barbarian]

Say what you want about GG, he has only written a couple of articles this year and has already provoked way more discussion than anything put out by the SMH or Tele.

Is that a good thing? I don't when his vague titbits are divisive in a fractured rugby community.

I don't think it's that damaging. Especially now he is only over at ESPN and not occupying a lead role at a major metro newspaper. I am not a huge fan of GG's general rugby coverage, but his 'ruck and maul' was always an interesting read. Half of it was crap, but it was at least readable crap.

He'd probably consider it a win since he got a 'I'm Radio' t-shirt out of it.

 

[p.Tah]

Fuck it, Now I've just gone and read his twitter account.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

He has a twitter account?

And here is me thinking he was just a twit.

 

[Braveheart81]

Growden's predictions and rumours over the last couple of years have generally been more accurate than other rugby journalists in Australia.

For every bit of crap he spouts, he does get plenty of things right. Certainly more than people like Bret Harris, Jamie Pandaram and Danny Weidler.

He is obviously pretty well connected.

Suddenly seems to have found richer veins of controversy now he works somewhere clicks matter!

If they didn't matter at the SMH, it explains a lot.
