Russell Crowe to join the footy show.

[Kimlo]

I thought it was great, First time in ages it's been enjoyable to watch and agreed rock, daley and cheif were a pain to watch.

One of the best shows in years IMO.

 

[ethos]

What did he say?

Sent a message out to all NRL players to basically pull their heads in, realise they can have a good time without getting wasted and at the moment the way we are going, we won't be sitting here in 10 years time eagerly awaiting the start of the season in less than 24 hours.

..and then later in the show he joked about how many schooners he downed back in the day.

Don't usually watch it but it was pretty good. Crowe was fantastic I thought, especially his points about the structure of the season.

 

[Kimlo]

Crowe had some good ideas, he spoke very profesionally and tbh I take back my initial comments, I think he would be a great addition as a permenant role on the footy show.

 

[Foordy]

Did anyone notice when someone on the panel said that the Rabbitohs had the most ticketed members on any NRL club. which according to Crowe is just over 7000.

now corrected me if i am wrong but don't the Broncos have around 10000 season members.

so going by 1st grade maths 10000 > 7000 which means that the Broncos have more ticketed members than the Rabbitohs, so how can the Rabbitohs have the most ticketed members on any NRL club.

but it doesn't surprise me the the Footy Show discount Brisbane

They probably forgot to mention out the Sydney teams.

Yeh but that's just Fatty, anyone who's been watching him will know that he uses that exaggerative humour all the time.

 

[Crazy Sam]

i was shocked that a ray hadley interview was on it. :O

 

[Coxy]

Peter Sterling isn't on it anymore, so Hadley is welcome.

Crowe is a fucking retard. In saying that, I didn't see what he said so someone please enlighten me so I may have the opportunity to laugh at his retardedness.

 

[ethos]

He said all rep footy should be after NRL fixtures, so that the season builds to a climax. Which makes a lot of sense I reckon.

NRL > City/Country > Origin > Internationals

But he also said we should have mid-week matches in the regular season, making the comp 30 rounds long, so that each team could play each other twice. [eusa_doh

 

[schmix]

I didn't get to see it, but the fact that no one has mentioned Matthew Johns is a positive. I'm assuming he sat there like a deaf mute when he realised they were going to be serious? Did they take away his vodka?

 

[Kaz]

WTF: Was that 'skit' about Percy Le Blanc

 

[Flutterby]

So now Rusty thinks the same as Coxy? Methinks Mr Cox may need to retract previous statement re Mr Crowe :mrgreen:

 

[spoonbled]

footy show ws much better, Crowe made some good points. at times Vossy gave it to him about the same damn dvd which would be annoying to any1 else in that situation.

LOLZ!!! Thanks ethos, I wasn't the only one who took note.

Fatty and Johns; after discussing ow concerned they are for the game, blah blah blah, and what young players need to do, etc....they both joke about drinking in excess...Johns twice!!!

The funniest thing is, neither realise that they did it!!!!!

Also, Crowe is an idiot. I don't see what you all appear to have seen. He made totally unworkable "solutions" to fixing the game. He asked for a longer season! LOLAPALLOOOZA!!!!!! Including mid-week games....say hello mass injuries! [eusa_doh . His idea to have ALL rep footy is crazytalk. Imagine having Origin series, then International after season! Players would be dead, and by the 3rd SoO game or by the Internationals, big name players would be in surgery.

Maybe the fact that he is well spoken took a few by surprise, as apart from Gallop there is very rarely well spoken person on the show. Apart from that, Crowe regurgitated utter tripe, which would never work in the game..
