Thanks Paul – I like to keep you all on my toes.

It’s a great point you raise and if I get the chance to speak with any of the women, particularly during Tokyo I will be sure to ask!

Another very interesting point, Roberto. That could be another article in itself!!

The Barry, could not agree more! Why has this all of a sudden become a priority?

Emcie, I definitely see your point, but I guess one of the challenges is that Fox is one of the biggest players in the industry.

Independent media is great, but it’s hard financially and there is very little job security.

Fox League's decision to hire Ray Hadley is baffling

And another Konstantopoulos!! How incredible!!

Why has Xavier Coates signing with the Storm hit such a nerve?

Agree, the Barry. Could not agree more.

To fix the crowd ‘problem’ there needs to be more work by the NRL and clubs put into marketing and game day experience.

A conference system isn’t going to fix it.

Why are we so obsessed with crowds in rugby league?

Great point, andrew! I went once for a State of Origin and it was absolutely incredible.

Another fantastic stadium and no surprises that the Broncs get such good crowds.

Hi Rellum – my sincere apologies. I am running a bit on empty this week so appreciate you pointing this out! Sorry for the error.

Mango Jack, I thought Freddie would select him at centre, but you highlight a great point re picking players out of position.

How on earth have I vilified them?

Do you agree with their behaviour on the field? Yes or no.
Do you think that behaviour has the potential to cost Souths or these players down the line? Yes or no.

I’m curious to hear your responses to these questions.

To put it another way, if I wrote an article next week about the Penrith Panthers being premiership contenders, should the response from Roarers be, what about the Storm? What about the Raiders? What about Souths?

So if I make a comment on one, I have to make a comment on all?

That would be very boring every week.

MPC, could not agree more. His views are outdated and not in line with what medical professionals have said. That’s another article all in itself…

Just because this week I have chosen to focus on Latrell and Cody, doesn’t mean that that I haven’t spoken out about other players in the past.

So if I wrote about Jack Hetherington, should Bulldogs fans take issue with that because there are other players that commit acts of foul play?

P.S. When Nathan Cleary made that TikTok video I absolutely judged his character and still do.

P.P.S. I wrote this article before the judiciary handed down its verdict. Do you have a problem with me calling out the behaviour or the punishment decided by the judiciary. Theses are two different things.

Kerry, I don’t disagree re Kaufusi. As you may know, I’m an Eels fan. Ryan Matterson has been out since that incident happened.

Tony, that’s interesting. You don’t think Latrell was going to be selected for Origin?

Big Mig, why is it poor form? Do you disagree that this is a problem in their games?

There are plenty of players who spend time at the judiciary and on the sidelines – Jack Hetherington seems to spend more time off the field that on it.

But I don’t see the players you have mentioned in the same class as Mitchell and Walker. Mitchell and Walker are two of the most talented players in our game and this sort of behaviour has an impact. With the ban last night, it’s unlikely Latrell will win his Dally M.

I agree that the system could use some reform!

Gosh I would love to see a whole of crowd stunned silence.

I try not to delve too much into the ‘real fan’ debates, soda because I agree with you. A true fan is a fan of a team. There is no one way to do fandom.

Although there was an extremely abusive man sitting near me at BankWest Stadium on Sunday afternoon. I would prefer less of those types of fans if that’s ok…
