Maybe he should stop playing the fool with fathead & sterlo on thurs nites as well

Absolutely. It seems that some of our players are more concerned with being a celebrity than a successful footballer. Sick of it

100% spot on. Too much money, no guts Generation Y. They want everything given to them. Im also sick of it. Deregister Dugan, never let the grub play again. God I hate Gen Y. They cannot socialise, cannot spell or communicate. Have a look next time you see a group of teens around a restaurant table. 100% guaranteed they are all looking down at their phones saying squat.

Benji has now deleted his twitter account….

Really? Hallelujah if that's the case. The rest of the team should be forced to follow suit IMO

Twitter is a great avenue for fans to interact with players. Not everyone lives in Sydney to make it to events, training or home games and say gday.

**Even if its just reading stupid banter between team mates, or a "I'm off to the movies!" type stuff, its something to embrace.** The NRL in general has always been on the back foot with this stuff IMO.

Sorry LaT, but if someone is going to wet themselves over the fact that an NRL player is "off to the movies" or "last nights chicken was undercooked so I'm off to slaughter the thunder-box", I have grave concerns for their mental state TBH. Fair enough it is good to get a bit of news on your favourite team or player but I just can't get my head around people feeling the need to document their every move on the internet….probably I am just old and decrepit :slight_smile:
 
Who said anyone was wetting themselves?

All I said was social media is a great avenue for fan interaction. And it is.
 
Keeping Bunji,a once in a lifetime player,forever at the tigers,making him a one club player is brilliant news.

One thing I have always loved about the tigers issat we seem to be able to keep our champions…..since I started following us,we have had blokes like Sirro,Elias,Blocker,Junior,all stay as one clubmen,the only one I can think of that left was Brasher.

Great news if both Bunji and Robbie,our latest two champs also stay as lifers...happy days imo.

That is fair enough but I still can't for the life of me see why someone would need to inform the world that they are off to the movies. Honestly, who wants to know or cares about that?

Its a small inane part of the medium. Sort of like saying all internet articles are crap because you read a few Buzz Rothfields pieces.

There is always an unfollow button, which I tend to use if a player does nothing more then post useless tidbits about crap.

More impressive is the speed at which information travels, I have news feeds that show when articles are released, rumours and early notices about various things, it all converges to a simple list that I browse through in a few minutes each day.

There is a feeling of superiority some people get when bagging out social media.

Whats funny is they use social media (forums/BBS) to do it.

Think about it.
