Robbie on NRL On Fox Tonight and The Game Plan Tomorrow

[arakaan]

Robbie has to put to bed the rumour if him n Benji fighting
These guys are scum. The fact that Johns is an explayer with a not an exactly clean record is just disgraceful. What happended to talking about football.

I'm glad someone in the media has the guts to call the 2012 tigers exactly what they are to the captains face.

Well done Matty Johns.

 

[system]

You know what?

The club captain firing up and promising the fans they will come good is enough for me.

 

[T-REXX]

AWESOME work from Matty Johns.

He's a Tigers fan and he's trying to fire them up. He's just saying what most of us have been thinking. We ARE soft at times. Hopefully this fires the whole team up.

If it doesn't…............................

Tigers fan?! Don't make me laugh…

Well every year he loves watching us. Always said it.
I think he is pretty spot on.
Just don't think some like to hear it.

Watching it now. Johns asked about the defence being soft, he tried to answer, Johns kept saying "yeah but you're soft"
Then he started on the rumour he and Benji don't like each other and the rumour that Sheens has "lost the senior playing group"

Robbie looks like he wants to punch on.

Johns is a spineless gimp. Did his retard side kick mutter something…. "Huh, huh...Yeah Matty you tell him..."

I bet you wouldn't say it to Matty or Geyers face, maybe they should have complemented how well we are playing and how good we are @ missing tackles.

Robbie did handle himself well and I don't think words alone will show that. As I posted previously in another thread (although it appears to have deleted) Matty johns was hardly a superstar he was made to look good by his brother, once he left Newcastle his career went no where. To be calling a team soft when your 5/8th that would hardly be in the thick of things is rediculous. Had these comments have come from some one with credentials of playing hard tallis for example it would hold some weight. Tonight has shown Matty to be nothing more then a grub.

Johns was a Tigers fan as a kid. LOVED the Balmain sides of the 80s.

Deep down still loves us.

Finally a media guy who had the nuts to ask the tough questions. Awesome work Matty :slight_smile:

I thought that was fantastic.

 

[spudoakes]

[fulleightyminutes]

I've recorded this on fox tell so will rewatch tomoz n put a transcript up if it's not done already.

I'd appreciate it Saundo. Perhaps this sort of 'ambush' will fire the boys.

**Mate, WE ARE SOFT.**

Johns just had the nuts to say it. We've played soft way, way, way too many times to not get the label and I'm glad someome had the nuts to say it finally. We've ALL said it here and at games.

Hopefully it fires the pack up. Probably won't though….............

Its on again at 10:30 on Fox 2\. Very good couple of minutes of viewing!

Johns is so brave asking those questions in the safety of the studio. Put me on tv with them and I would love to..

Your entitle to believe that I'm not buying into any footballer from any team being called SOFT. We have two young front rowers who are being exposed by some international/ representative front rowers I don't think it's soft it's outclassed and it's the coaches fault for not trying to fix the problem by utilizing his squad n bench effectively.

I hope Robbie does go back n speak with boys or better yet they watched for themselves what went on.

It was unnecessary to say it multiple times as Robbie is trying to answer him say it once make your point hear the answer next question. Simple.

We are soft. We have so much talent but its wasted. He slated us in the tele and now to robes face. I love johns and believe the media are scared of asking sheens those questions. The tigers are as soft as my pillow

Sometimes agreeing with the "soft" comments isn't needed. Its not like Sheens or any senior player is in denial.

You never hear Bennett agree that his team was crap, in fact on the rare occasion a Bennett team is crap you always see Bennett go on the offensive and sometimes be outright rude to legitimate questions.

What I am saying is, just because we aren't lining up to agree with the detractors, doesn't mean we have blinkers on.

I am encouraged to see us fighting, as long as we band together as a unit I fully believe we will come through this intact.

 

[tiga4eva]

Glad Johns asked and rapt with how Robbie answered. Farah could have given some cliches and laughed it off but he took the comments to heart and fired back. Great TV!!!
