Thought Gus Gould talked a lot of sense. At least they're not burying their heads in the sand, especially Matty Johns. Think the other culprits should hang their heads in shame for not owning up and letting him take the fall.

Finally a sports star who is actually prepared to apologise for his actions.

Gould only comes on when there is something important to talk about and his interviews are always superb.

see Andrew Johns and Sonny Bill Williams interviews for further proof

Trying to watch this now only the feed of that setanta is its the only channel not getting signal. Would like to hear what they are saying about Matty Johns.

You can rely on Gus Gould to have a good blub on the show. No doubt the ratings were good. Call me cynical but Johns will be back in a couple of months after it all blows over and the woman has pilloried in the press as a slapper who was gagging for it. It's a bit more mileage in it yet to get the names of the other boofheads out in public.

Fatty looks as happy as if he'd just bitten on a Big Mac and found a fresh cow pat in there.

The NRL is in a fecking awful state. The Footy Show is dying.

The whole situation is ridiculous.

Do you rhink they will banned from mentioing it on teh Roast? Could be interesting of they let MG lose!

sailor will be on the roast

Interesting to watch a sports programme have an intelligent discussion about the issue without trying to apportion blame, or skirt around things. An excellent piece of television which I doubt we'd see of a similar standard from many of our sports broadcasters.

It seems those players have come to light and a certain Luke Branighan of Gateshead Thunder was named, would be interesting to see if he is sacked in light of these allegations. I'm sure they'll be eager to keep this quiet as its hard enough for Rugby League to develop in the north east as it is without a scandal like this affecting their growth.

Totally agree.

If another "sport" was involved it would never get off the ground.

A concern I have is who's agenda is it to have a go a league in Australia?

I could take a guess but it's not that obvious without having a lot more information

union . afl . aleague football . take a geuss

Onion isn't powerful enough, soccer is a joke, so I go for AFL!!

The only POSITIVE i can say about that game is you have to be fit to play it but otherwise it's as dull as ditchwater.

They seem to want expand everywhere.

Any old bugger can play in the AFL. They have over a hundred interchanges per team per game...

Fatty was in combative mode tonight and the show was all the better for it. LOLed at the bomb challenge.
