Anybody else still miss ReUnion?

@African-Monkey As much as I enjoy 360, the aspect I don't enjoy is all the print journos trying to swing their dicks around re who has the best 'oil'. Between Kent, Hooper, the young-ish Queenslander Peter something who desperately needs to find a new hairdresser, and worst of all that cranky old coot with the spectacles, they're appalling at getting into stupid arguments over who heard what from whom and who has the beat inside 'oil'.

@shark Yeah, that sums up NRL 360 haha, with James Hooper trying to put on the thickest Aussie accent he can, Paul Kent who just yells over the top of people especially when he's been proven wrong, and the old coot being Buzz Rothfield who needs to be put back in the cupboard with a 4 pack of stella. Most of them can't even keep a straight face when making up their rumours haha.
As I said though, I'd still rather watch that over Breakdown and that god-awful show with Kirstie Stanway, Bryn Hall, Joe Wheeler, Izzy Dagg and either Cory Jane/Mils Muliaina where they spend 30 mins trying to crack jokes and out laugh each other. It's llike an extremely poor attempt at trying to replicate the Matty Johns show. Don't even know if the show is still going or not?
-
It looks like there won't be any change in concept and personnel of the Breakdown. So we can probably forget about good, solid analysis, and keep on being annoyed by biased presenters chitchatting and fanboying. It's a pity that they didn't take the opportunity of the start of a new season, to make changes.
Hopefully, they'll invite guests who are capable of some good analysis. Glenn Jackson and Tabai Matson were good, last year. I'm sure there are a few more in NZ.

Would be good to see James Parsons on there. Wonder if he an Bryn Hall/Weber will do their podcast again?

@stargazer poor start, I can’t stand Jim Kayes.

@canes4life He's been involved in The Breakdown for a while (producer)

I wonder if Stan will have the weekly shows available? I assume they will.
They mentioned a magazine show. I think it was called 'Rugbyheaven' like the smh rugby website
Cheers, although I was specifically meaning the NZ shows from Sky.

Now. To digress to Rugby Nation.
I watched this for first time this year.
What the hell. It's now only 30 minutes long.
I usually like(d) this program during the international windows. Seeing all the games short highlights, even the more obscure ones. Ire v Jap and Arg v Rom were reduced to 1 try as they segue to the commercial break.
