I don't understand why journalists don't give it to these guys.
The correct answer is because the players are content generators. They can't go hard at them or make them look bad or the players won't speak to them anymore.
Tbone gets it, the previous guys do not.
You don't bite the hand that feeds, shoot the golden goose etc. If they bring players onto NRL 360 and maul them, players will stop coming on. It's like the Footy Show, they don't ask anything controversial.
Ah - thanks but get it perfectly.
They also like to be percieved as being objective, unlike fans - and in Woods case the only people that are dirty at him are the Wests Tigers fans - for most others it is a non issue.
