my view is Jason comes across as a bit of a pillock. He could ahev said we are confident he will be fit for the SA series instead of trying to be smart
The public wnat to know more adn the coaches should give it to them via the media instead of trying to be a smartarse. And pissing journalists of when it really wasn't needed
-
@Winger what?...he literally said he was only out for two weeks in his initial address...and then repeated when answering the first and second questions....and yet they ask the same thing again

Try looking at it with the presumption the public and journalists are smart enough to grasp that if he's only out for the two tests against Argentina, what would that mean for the South African Tests which come after those two weeks?
Or put another way; if I have two apples and take away two apples...

All he had to say is we are confident he will be back for SA.
Or even say a little about the issue and providng some more information on a key player. Who has been out for most of the year so far
Instead he carried on like a fool. Trying to win points at the expense of people you want on your side. You know to help promote rugby in this country

@Winger i feel like we've watched two different clips
the one i see has Ryan volunteering from the start, ie hiding nothing or waiting to be asked, telling them how long SB is out for (inferring the game he will be back for) and who is taking his responsibilities.....and then immediately being asked multiple times how long SB is out for.......

At meeting etc Ive been asked some really dumb questions. Its tempting to do what Jason did. I never did. I want people on my side. Not to piss them off. And I respect thast they ahev the decency to sort of listen and at least ask a question. In other word they are interetsed and want to know more
Someone should have a word to Jason.
-
@Winger ok, i guess i just dont understand....he literally kept answering their questions, didn't say "im not answering that again" or anything of the sort
they ask if hes back for SA, he says yes, hes only out for two weeks
this is a weird hill to die on

it's straight up the weirdest hill to die on for someone who constantly criticises the media

what, you mean answer the question?
TBF, it wasnt a stupid question, it was the subsequent repeatings of the same question and then asking the same question in a different way.
Just shows either they didnt listen, or they think he is bullshitting.

I agree. I think there may have been an element of them thinking he was being economical with the truth and they were fishing, badly, for further information.

Yeah they came across bad but I think they were checking if it was a minimum of two weeks or an exact amount. Could be a funny press conference if he’s out for longer
