I think he’d make a decent running 6 if a club was willing to take the risk and develop a game and team that played to his strengths there. I’m definitely not suggesting that we be that team.
I was sure Manu was one of those guys the Roosters have been trying to pass off as only on around $400k, with plenty of help from Fox Sports etc to get that message out there.
I'd be genuinely curious to know how many of the 'Corey Allan hasn't done enough yet to warrant $400-500K at Fullback' brigade also fall into the 'Let's give Staggs $700-750k and hope he can play Fullback or 5/8' brigade.
Me.
This proves that player judgements, at least in the case of fans, are for the most part entirely emotional and absolutely not logical or based on anything supported by actual data.
Which news outlets would you recommend as being straight up and down, only the facts?
ABC generally only reports facts when it comes to sports- opinion pieces are pretty rare. There’s just little content compared to News Corpse.
ABC is excellent for sport, in general, though light on for day to day team gossip. Other topics, particularly those that are current political policy, I don't find it notably more vigilant than any of the Murdoch rags, which though generally skewing right, aren't an homogeneous voice. The ABC gives the Greens, and usually Labor, a free pass on many subjects. Take linking last years bushfires to energy policy. They shouldn't have tolerated a bar of that nonsense, but they let it pass unchallenged. Everyone I know at the ABC, outside the rural areas, is hard left and largely innumerate. Murdoch journos are a mixed bunch. The notion that Rupert tells them what to write isn't based in any reality, but he has, in the past, chosen a political candidate to support during election times, though he doesn't take the interest in Australia many assume. The Times and Sun supported Tony Blair, for example, who was Labour. And the WSJ went hard against Trump in the last election, though more in the aftermath.
Not a news outlet, but i get 100% of my info from BHQ
but for real, I follow @Clarkeys.rl.column & @blokeinabar (denan kemp) and they pretty much summarise all the big media's scoops but without any of the bullshit. I dont look at any thing else.
Oops, seems I read the original post wrong. To be clear I am in both the Corey Allen is not worth 500k and the don’t pay Staggs 750k for an experimental position camp.
Not sure if it's out in the public sphere but channel 9 notfied it's entire workforce in the regions last Friday that they are all to be made redundant by this coming July.
Holding both those positions in either the affirmative or negative together would make a great deal more sense even if I didn't agree with it personally.
