@KiwiMurph You can take the man out of league, but you can't take league out of the man?

@NTA I'm a fan. I've always found Cheika to be really absorbing to listen to, despite his personal and professional eccentricities. And I don't mind Campo, at least he has an opinion on things.
It all depends how they are used, I suppose.
I'd only tune in to hear Cheika go absolutely nuclear in the coaches box and he's not gonna be doing that.

Agree on Cheika - but you of all people should know that a bunch of Aussie "rugby fans" can't look at this any more rationally than they can Quade Cooper's faults, or Kurtley's evil strategy to get Link fired.
Queenslanders. I'm talking about Queenslanders.

@Machpants I'm nowhere saying that rugby is perfect, players are human after all, but league is notorious for thuggish behaviour in a way that rugby is not.

Admittedly this has regressed somewhat since Craig Gower retired.

True, but I'm after commentators who can offer insights rather than calling what I can see. I also don't want them to carry grievances or be constantly negative.
Chieka's coaching experience could be valuable as part of the commentary team. I'm prepared to give him a chance, certainly more than I'd give Campo.

It was a stupid comment that you should probably either admit was tongue in cheek or delete it

Only the more earnest posters need specify. Most of you I just assume you're talking shit

I thought it was funny, so is good enough for everyone.
It is the way

@tim Everyone has always said it's the administration at NSWRU that's a monumental disaster. They're half-witted amateurs in a professional business.
There are unions threatening to leave NSW and join up with ACT and Southern NSW. I'm surprised they've stuck it out this long.
