Fatty gets worked up trying to work out how Turbo got a penalty out of this 'love-tap'
Paul Vautin described the Bunker's read on this tackle as embarrassing!
Why was Wayne Bennett ever asked if he’s going to sing the English national anthem?
It’s a stupid question asked by someone looking to make up a story where there isn’t one.
The stories are: Bennett has been named England rugby league coach, some people thinks it’s brilliant, others not so, and what can he bring to the party?
There are enough twists and turns in these themes to keep any journo on his or her toes for several books and lightyears of column inches. If you can’t write something with all that help, then step aside and let me in!
Has any football (soccer) coach who plies their trade in England been asked if they will sing “God Save the Queen”? Was Sven-Göran Eriksson asked something similar when coach of England football team?
I have no recollection of them being asked as much, because it’s the kind of lowest-common-denominator journalism that makes Mitchell Pearce more of a story than say some player visiting a terminally ill child in hospital.
To the journalist who thought it was pertinent; in what universe does whether or not one coach will sing a German-family inspired song constitute a sports question? Does it reveal something telling in a team, coach or game? What story can you possibly be looking for?
Did rugby union really get a better deal in coaching terms because Eddie likes to play sing-a-long with the Saxe-Coburgs?
Perhaps the saddest aspect of all this is that it was reported as if it had some sort of credence and validity as a line of inquiry. We need journalists who will treat this sort nonsense to the kind of examination it deserves.
Where are they?
Are they fighting our corner or are they limping along with meaningless bits of rubbish that let this pass like it was Pulitzer Prize material?
Reckon you can pick the winning team? Build your own dream team with Draftstars daily fantasy and compete on any match. For great odds on the NRL head on over to PlayUp. Imagine what you could be buying instead. Set a deposit limit.

Paul Vautin says he previously said Tom Trbojevic would be Manly's greatest ever player, then all his injuries started.
There are fears the Manly fullback may have injured a hamstring, which is not good news for the club or the Blues with State…
Tom Trbojevic limped out with a hamstring injury as Manly again threw away a commanding lead to lose, this time 30-24 to a Dolphins…
The referee ruled that Tom Trbojevic knocked on, but the Sea Eagles used the Captain's Challenge to earn the penalty.
Mark Nicholls was ruled to have lost the ball backwards, after the commentator declared it was a "knock-on for all money".
