I'm not a fan of Ross at all - I reckon people on here could do a better job. Sometimes it really feels like his journalism is based on crud that he lifts from Facebook.

I imagine that if he's not got a good relationship with the club then he may end up lifting material from other sources. He didn't get on with Lowes (and I think Lowes has to shoulder some blame there) but he also annoyed Caro recently with a sloppy article. He's building a relationship with Smith. I get the feeling there's definitely no love lost between him and Green and Ferres. I know there has been annoyance at the slant of some articles purporting to give Ferres's views.

I think the journalist that covers the club needs to maintain good relationships and may have to sacrifice some of his impartiality for that. Otherwise the bread and butter articles lack the quality that you can only get from having a friendly and close relationship.

It can be up to other journalists to cover the "off field" challenges. They don't have to get a foot in the door everyday so can take a tougher line if need be.

He could maybe write an article saying he's positive we didn't make the playoffs ...





I'll get me coat

Honestly, it's like asking someone who's just had his wife leave him, lost his job and all his friends have told him he's an @rsehole, to write a story on how good his life is.


In saying that, I'm not sure I'd be that gutted if the wife left... (no, she doesn't read this forum)

Found this picture of HamsterChops

I've put on a bit of timber since that was taken...

Do you still spend your evenings watching the wedding DVD in reverse? (She and her dad walk backwards out of the church, get into a limo, and reverse away never to be seen again ... )

There's no point, she never takes her mother with her.

Talking of Les Dawson, did you know it's more difficult to play Rugby League convincingly off-key than it is to play it well?

I wonder if Marc Green is enjoying his holiday?
