@antipodean the problem with @MN5 's dad (Twattue) and his Uncle (Treason) is not so much they seem so bitter and twisted just cos, its they they often dont appear that they even watch the sports they are commenting on, or even like the sport.
SO often Twattue spouts his BS, and the opposite appears true...which is kinda whats happened to the Lions, cos I am pretty sure he wrote them off after test #1 (and half the games prior)
I expect both were the last kid picked in all the teams and both were in love with girls who wouldnt even look at them and went out with one of the 1st 15.

@MN5 The more subtle, the better sarcasm is.
I was being serious

Can't stand Wynne Gray he is among the worst.
I could be mistaken but I think there was a time Gray used to care. Now it's countdown to pension-time and he's farting in a bag and mailing it in. There's no excuse for how weak and pathetic his slop has become. Rattue is a calculated wind-up clown, but at least he tries. Gregor Paul gets a pass simply because he's not as lousy as the other pair.

That's because he is actually (e-)mailing it in. He finished up full-time with the Herald last year. So the weekly/twice-weekly column is probably done between gardening stints and multiple cup of tea.

@rotated said in NZ Rugby Journalists:
Seti Afoa posts usually posts press conferences unadulterated on youtube for most tests and squad announcements - this earns him #1 rank. Even the AB's own youtube can't manage this for some reason, very good insights buried in answers to seemingly banal questions.
It's great but he needs to put a mic on the table. The sound is barely audible.

Here's an article from Stuff about the NZ teams dominance over the Aussies. So far so good. However there are a number of references to the "4 try bonus point" that the Aussie teams have managed to achieve. The 'journalists' don't appear to know that these 4 try bonus points don't exist anymore.

@stargazer loses all credibility with Mark Treason in there, or is this the one where they nominate themselves?
-
@taniwharugby Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, although I can agree with Liam Napier taking out the main prize.
-
Clearly a shallow pond.

Yeah, he's been pumping out content this year.

You also have to pay to enter, which puts off a lot of cheapskate journos (like myself) back in the day.
Bittersweet win for Logan Savory who loses his job next week thanks to Fairfax cuts.
-
@smudge you could start a givealittle page for the entry fee, we'll all chip in..but only if you go for whatever award Treason nominated himself for and tell us how we can make you win it!
Yeah the old restructuring sucks!
-
That's a lot of awards, looks like just about every Sports Journalist in NZ got one.

My contribution to journalism these days is a fortnightly column in an obscure publication. Probably read by up to and including 25 people.
Let's do it!

MAte, do you listen to Trackside Radio in the moring between 6am and 7am?
Glen Lama (?) always has a lady on talking Rugby League. She is better to listen to for analysis than most of the blokes and also put NZ to lose to Fiji in a multi that came in!
Is she a journalist/Commentator? I can't think of her name currently

Ratpoo didnโt but then heโs not a sports journalist.

Lavina Good, right? I think she is a Sky Sports commentator and interviews the players. Definitely knows her stuff.

Thank you! That's the one. Know's her stuff which should come as no surprise being someone so into the sport but she is a rare commodity.
Compare her to Melody Robinson who is also into a sport siginificantly but is hopeless with analysis and point in time commentary.
In saying that, there is a great long list of guys that also fall into that pocket
