The media crusade against Roberts begins

Look out. Jimmy may have more to deal with than just Bennett this week.

Bennett laughed it off in the presser. Said he hopes he doesn't get in on the Mardi Gras float....

This is a huge pile of whothefuckcares

Oh god. If it was that dude from rugby with all the hair saying it, people would be having the time of their lives.

Exactly. If the honey badger says weird shit like this it's hilarious, Roberts says it and the media try to squeeze the **** out of it and hope a controversy pops out.

He was just talking about the fast cars that regularly occupy Oxford St. Case closed.

I'm so disappointed that he didn't say " full credit to the boys", "we really turned up to play", "well just be taking it 1 week at a time".

Yet the courier mail journos are in full fan boy mode over this. The big bad media are so mean.

This. I did cringe, probably because of his Titan's heritage, but it's refreshing at least. I would have preferred he said it after a game where he scored 3 tries and smoked the field more than once, but that'll happen sooner rather than later anyway.

Man who cares what he said. If anything happens over this, I hope we pull all our players into the sheds immediately after the game and ban them from talking to the journos. That will teach the pricks to realise when a player is saying a joke. Obviously Bennett couldn't give a hoot about it

Well, we all know how to deal with this hey ? If we the public treat it like a non event the media will lose interest in a day...besides the next thing will be here to replace it shortly ! I wasn't quite sure what was supposed to be funny about it though. More speed than Oxford street ? Speed as in ephedrine ? I realise there's the gay thing but what has being fast got to do with tan tracking ? Anyone ?

And now Bennett is a homophobe according to the media.

**** I hate journalists in this country. They're just scum who try to make big news out of anything they can.

I seriously hope every interview from now on is "full credit to the boys" "we were at sixes and sevens" "the boys turned up for each other" and other "safe" cliche lines for interviews, because **** having some real personality on TV, we just want robots.

 

[Nashy]

They made the grand final. Alright, jump on anything the Broncos do, make them look bad.

 

[Bucking Beads]

This is hilarious. I don't know who is sensastionalyzing the media or you guys.

Obviously the media is. I don't see how making a comment on BHQ is the same as insinuating Wayne is a homophobe on national TV and over the Internets.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's given a completely random drug test in the next day or two.

LOL i wouldnt be surprised if the NRL suspend him for 9 weeks with a $130000 fine...
