P*** off mate with your true supporter contrived shi*. The next broadcast rights will fetch north of a billion dollars, if that doesnt give us the right to speak to a player after the match then your biting the hand that feeds you.
I enjoy watching the emotion of players because it shows how much they love playing for the jumper. We know what the players are feeling after a win like that let them share it with the tiger faithful who are no doubt feeling the same.
Alright champ if your happy with doing no media for the whole year then im sure youd be happy with the club not taking a cent of the upcoming billion dollar rights money split.
End of the day Jack loves a chat obviously so its no skin off his nose to have a post match chat and we get the added bonus of hearing the emotions of a player at the beginning of something special
Reading that it appears youre a media whore, if thats the case its alright for the media to slag someone off one one hand and suck up to him the next.

I would tell you to get effed , the players dont forget the slagging especially when it personal like dimwayne and taylor did.

It was nothing compared to Craig Hutchinson's rant.

Apparently the AFL need to fine the club. Wow.
If Hutchy has teed off it about this issue, it has underlined everything I think about this bloke's values as a human being. We just need his stooge Barrett to have a dip now.

Is there any level they wont stoop to in order to create a bit of controversy in another greasy attempt to line their wallets? Doesn't appear so.

Quick Hutchy, I heard a rumour that Jack threw a plastic bottle in the non-recycling bin... get around and take some photos. Could be a front page for the Hun... get Dwayne's take on it for another angle... this could play out for days...

...and another thing... On The Couch's underwhelming reaction to Jack's effort was pathetic....spent more time talking about this non-issue, how bad West Coast are going...and when they did refer to the 10 goals...it was under the guise of some crap of how he's improved since Gerard had a go at him for being too fancy with his kicking or some such egotistical journo bollocks....:thumbsdown:
Haha, was about to post making the same point as this. Pretty sure it was a directive for "On the Couch" not to highlight JR's performance as a backhander to the RFC. :thumbsdown:

Completely DISAGREE!

I don't care what they have to say after the game. I understand they have media committments but a TRUE supporter of the club wouldn't care as long as the results fell our way.

I wouldn't care if I didn't hear a word from Jack or any player during the year as long as they let their actions do all the talking.
Well said Yellowand BlackBlood. I couldnt care less if we hear from players during the year. Aslong as that are playing as a team and winning matches. We have had for far too long selfish players and we finally start to get team orientated and people STILL complain. Good on the RFC for keeping a lid on it and keep up the agressive TEAM orientated football.

Hutchy is a walking talking contradiction. I must admit that I cannot watch Footy Classified as NZ television consider that Hutchy et al would not rate in rugby land, but I do believe from the gist of this thread that he is rather unfairly bagging our club, yet on the flip side he is approaching RFC staff to work at his Croc Media "empire" that soon may not be due to over-commitment to rural AFL broadcast rights. Mmmmmm. Something about lying straight in bed.

The media have the right to interview a player if he was the match winner and I am yet to see a player in this situation say " yeah I was the best player out there ...they only won because of me etc" Think of McMahon last year after kicking the winning goal.
10 goals is a great achievement and everyone wanted to hear from Jack and I am sure he would have been humble if interviewed. But Hardwick has apologized , end of story.
