I don't see it as acting exclusively in the best interest of Munster (or any of his clients) as well.I agree mate, I like Braith.
There would be a bit of talk offset though. If people don't believe that, they have their head in the sand.
In one episode of 360, in the segment of 'Ask Kenty' ..Braith read out a fans letter that asked if Munster is a chance to play for the Weststigers and Kenty looked at Braith and smiled and said...'no way'
When asked by Braith why not he smiled again and said I know someone and he said noway. So he's telling Munsters manager noway??
If people don't believe Braith told Paul this being Musters manager trying to drum up business then that's crazy.
Surely Braith new the question from the fan or the question could have been scripted.
Getting back to the point about media personalities being involved with a club or players...this is an example of them manipulating their position for personal gain. If it wasn't and was purely coincidental then it's still wrong.
If he's ridiculing the club - that he was also once a former player of - in his gig as a panellist/host on a television show and is currently in negotiations with that said club, in another role, he's already somewhat blurred the professional boundaries.
Who's to say it's not creating any unconcious bias in his duty as a player manager.
That is where I can kinda agree with the conflict of interest suggestion, as it (the media job) can be entirely used as a public relations tool for him and his clients benefit. So ofcourse it can also be used to drive potential recruits away from dealing with the club too.
Everyone knows we've been a poorly run club over a long period and the team are absolute crap at present however the whole negative media portrayal goes hand in hand with some of our reputational damage IMO.
It's not groundbreaking news but just twisting the knife.
Two other clubs sacked coaches this year. This upcoming season will mark the Warriors having a fifth coach, in three years. WTH!!
It's not for the public's interest either as they are all sick of seeing us suck.
