Might be an opinion piece based loosely on a players comments but it comes up under news on the NRL site. So the NRL is reporting that the training standards at Penrith are higher than WT when a ball is yet to be kicked. Does Madge know about this news? NRL has a serious integrity problem and this is just more evidence of it. If I was working for the club I’d be asking PVL to take it down. The NRL should stick to running a Comp that more than 2-3 teams can realistically win.

Wow, that's a bit unhinged based on comments from a bloke who barely made Tigers first team?

It's not an opinion piece, its a report including a player's comments. NRL are not reporting that training standards at Penrith are higher, NRL are reporting that Matt Eisenhuth has certain comments differentiating Panthers and Tigers.

You actually read the article, right? My summary is actually Eisenhuth isn't really bad-mouthing Tigers, he is differentiating between a team that has just played finals (Grand Final) football and a side that has not.

Here are the quotes
>"The standard is a lot higher than what I'm used to, to be fair, but it's exciting," Eisenhuth told NRL.com.

>"The players are just a bit more confident because they know where they've been and if you're not ready to go you get left behind.

>"It's a different sort of energy level and vibe compared to what I was used to. It's refreshing and sometimes you need a change.

>"That's not to say the playing group at the Tigers weren't confident but winning and playing finals footy breeds confidence.

>"It's enjoyable to come to training and to be fair it got a bit unlike that at the Tigers towards the end of the season.

Pretty clear that Eisenhuth is drawing a distinction about playing for a side that has just come off a successful season.

That’s fine mate but I don’t need the NRL to report it to me as news. I want their resources to be better directed towards juniors, growing the sport, refereeing, improving talent distribution, the judiciary. Why pay someone to write dribble?

Why read dribble?

The NRL has a media department, this has been an income producer for the NRL.
 
I've come across many articles from NRL.com which make the DT and Fox Sports look like The Australian in comparison. You'd expect the NRL media department to refrain from gossip however they're happy to fuel it for fan engagement.

I've previously given Matt a bit of a wrap for the way he stood up and played really well when we needed him towards the end of last season.

You can never tell with these poor excuses for journalists what words are actually attributable to the players and what is actually journalistic license.

I don't think it would have been Matt's intent to run us down, but all the same, I hope Penrith have a miserable season.

When there are direct quotes there is no confusion.

He totally cheap shotted us with those comments.

Of course he is entitled to his opinion, but it’s pretty clear he’s dirty about not getting a new contract with us.

I was always a reasonable Eiso fan. He always did all he could with limited ability.

In saying that his comments rubbed me the wrong way, he’s now the enemy and I wish him nothing but pain and misery for the rest of his career.

Probably a Greenberg idea. He was burning money everywhere. Give it time I believe PVL will set things right. It’s in the NRL’s interest to talk up the clubs, increase crowds, members, tv viewers, fans, sales and improve overall profitability, maybe that way they could reduce the size of the yearly hand outs. Instead they’re facilitating cheap pot shots at one of the battling clubs on their website. Classy.

The NRL digital media arm is a money earner for the game and leads to the possibility of the NRL broadcasting their own games in the future which can be used to have competitive tension in broadcast rights negotiations.

Pot shots at the clubs? I think you are a little bit sensitive.

Yeah probably mate. My bad. Maybe they could get Eisenhuth’s missus a diamond ring since he had to play for a club with a lower standard of training?

I think he is right in what he is saying, the higher standard comment is not surprising, the Panthers played in the Grand Final last year and we didn't make the 8. I think the standard would be higher.

No he is talking about skill and ability level, you don't think there would be a difference between those things at the Panthers and the 2019 Wests Tigers?

That’s fine mate but I don’t need the NRL to report it to me as news. I want their resources to be better directed towards juniors, growing the sport, refereeing, improving talent distribution, the judiciary. Why pay someone to write dribble?

The NRL has a media department, this has been an income producer for the NRL.

Probably a Greenberg idea. He was burning money everywhere. Give it time I believe PVL will set things right. It’s in the NRL’s interest to talk up the clubs, increase crowds, members, tv viewers, fans, sales and improve overall profitability, maybe that way they could reduce the size of the yearly hand outs. Instead they’re facilitating cheap pot shots at one of the battling clubs on their website. Classy.

The NRL digital media arm is a money earner for the game and leads to the possibility of the NRL broadcasting their own games in the future which can be used to have competitive tension in broadcast rights negotiations.

Pot shots at the clubs? I think you are a little bit sensitive.

Yeah probably mate. My bad. Maybe they could get Eisenhuth’s missus a diamond ring since he had to play for a club with a lower standard of training?

I don't think he said it was a lower standard of training though?
Here are his quotes

“The standard is a lot higher than what I’m used to, to be fair, but it’s exciting,” Eisenhuth told NRL.com.

"The players are just a bit more confident because they know where they’ve been and if you’re not ready to go you get left behind.

"It’s a different sort of energy level and vibe compared to what I was used to. It’s refreshing and sometimes you need a change.

"That’s not to say the playing group at the Tigers weren’t confident but winning and playing finals footy breeds confidence.

"It’s enjoyable to come to training and to be fair it got a bit unlike that at the Tigers towards the end of the season.

I think he is right in what he is saying, the higher standard comment is not surprising, the Panthers played in the Grand Final last year and we didn't make the 8. I think the standard would be higher.

Semantics. All he had done so far is train so he is referring to training.

No he is talking about skill and ability level, you don't think there would be a difference between those things at the Panthers and the 2019 Wests Tigers?

100% I do mate. I just don’t think it’s the place of the National Rugby League to report it as news. I think the league lacks integrity and there is a clear bias towards several golden clubs and I hope PVL is hearing this from others, not just me.

Might be an opinion piece based loosely on a players comments but it comes up under news on the NRL site. So the NRL is reporting that the training standards at Penrith are higher than WT when a ball is yet to be kicked. Does Madge know about this news? NRL has a serious integrity problem and this is just more evidence of it. If I was working for the club I’d be asking PVL to take it down. The NRL should stick to running a Comp that more than 2-3 teams can realistically win.

Wow, that's a bit unhinged based on comments from a bloke who barely made Tigers first team?

It's not an opinion piece, its a report including a player's comments. NRL are not reporting that training standards at Penrith are higher, NRL are reporting that Matt Eisenhuth has certain comments differentiating Panthers and Tigers.

You actually read the article, right? My summary is actually Eisenhuth isn't really bad-mouthing Tigers, he is differentiating between a team that has just played finals (Grand Final) football and a side that has not.

It is not the NRL holding a press conference and PVL coming out and saying it. It is a news story produced by the NRL media department that report news in and around the game. An interview and story about a player changing clubs is news.

The NRL should be expanding its media department, have a look at some of the shows the NFL make. The game should be producing this sort of content.

I watch a lot of NFL Films and their content is largely focussed on highlighting the great achievements and selling the sport and the franchises. We could learn a lot from that organisation as a sport.

Pretty clear that Eisenhuth is drawing a distinction about playing for a side that has just come off a successful season.

That’s fine mate but I don’t need the NRL to report it to me as news. I want their resources to be better directed towards juniors, growing the sport, refereeing, improving talent distribution, the judiciary. Why pay someone to write dribble?

The NRL has a media department, this has been an income producer for the NRL.

Probably a Greenberg idea. He was burning money everywhere. Give it time I believe PVL will set things right. It’s in the NRL’s interest to talk up the clubs, increase crowds, members, tv viewers, fans, sales and improve overall profitability, maybe that way they could reduce the size of the yearly hand outs. Instead they’re facilitating cheap pot shots at one of the battling clubs on their website. Classy.

The NRL digital media arm is a money earner for the game and leads to the possibility of the NRL broadcasting their own games in the future which can be used to have competitive tension in broadcast rights negotiations.

Pot shots at the clubs? I think you are a little bit sensitive.

Yeah probably mate. My bad. Maybe they could get Eisenhuth’s missus a diamond ring since he had to play for a club with a lower standard of training?

I don't think he said it was a lower standard of training though?
Here are his quotes

“The standard is a lot higher than what I’m used to, to be fair, but it’s exciting,” Eisenhuth told NRL.com.

"The players are just a bit more confident because they know where they’ve been and if you’re not ready to go you get left behind.

"It’s a different sort of energy level and vibe compared to what I was used to. It’s refreshing and sometimes you need a change.

"That’s not to say the playing group at the Tigers weren’t confident but winning and playing finals footy breeds confidence.

"It’s enjoyable to come to training and to be fair it got a bit unlike that at the Tigers towards the end of the season.

I think he is right in what he is saying, the higher standard comment is not surprising, the Panthers played in the Grand Final last year and we didn't make the 8. I think the standard would be higher.

Semantics. All he had done so far is train so he is referring to training.

No he is talking about skill and ability level, you don't think there would be a difference between those things at the Panthers and the 2019 Wests Tigers?

100% I do mate. I just don’t think it’s the place of the National Rugby League to report it as news. I think the league lacks integrity and their is a clear bias towards several golden clubs and I hope PVL is hearing this from others, not just me.

It is not the NRL holding a press conference and PVL coming out and saying it. It is a news story produced by the NRL media department that report news in and around the game. An interview and story about a player changing clubs is news.

The NRL should be expanding its media department, have a look at some of the shows the NFL make. The game should be producing this sort of content.

I watch a lot of NFL Films and their content is largely focussed on highlighting the great achievements and selling the sport and the franchises. We could learn a lot from that organisation as a sport.

There news isn't though, they report all the same types of things that the NRL does. I see this type of story on NFL.com quite regularly.

Might be an opinion piece based loosely on a players comments but it comes up under news on the NRL site. So the NRL is reporting that the training standards at Penrith are higher than WT when a ball is yet to be kicked. Does Madge know about this news? NRL has a serious integrity problem and this is just more evidence of it. If I was working for the club I’d be asking PVL to take it down. The NRL should stick to running a Comp that more than 2-3 teams can realistically win.

Wow, that's a bit unhinged based on comments from a bloke who barely made Tigers first team?

It's not an opinion piece, its a report including a player's comments. NRL are not reporting that training standards at Penrith are higher, NRL are reporting that Matt Eisenhuth has certain comments differentiating Panthers and Tigers.

You actually read the article, right? My summary is actually Eisenhuth isn't really bad-mouthing Tigers, he is differentiating between a team that has just played finals (Grand Final) football and a side that has not.

Here are the quotes

How is what he said wrong

What our forward pack is better than Penriths' .....

Take off the WT's sunnies ...really

Honestly I don't see where we have one forward better than Penrith's pack man for man

I think he is 100% right and I would be showing it to our players right before we play them.

Our Canterbury cup players
