[QUOTE="BLR, post: 182452"] sanzar, it was the Sydney Morning Herald, every single Force fan is aware of the crap that they spun over the off season. They would re-write the same article every day with different wording yet the same facts, basically to continue to keep it top of the news. They made up the story of Giteau going to ACT to try to join the Brumbies again, and now that Giteau hasn't signed on the dotted line yet they take this as confirmation that they were true all along, despite the fact Giteau has flatly denied it. The whole forcing one of the executives to hand over his credit card, despite the fact the same guy went directly the the SMH, despite having been given a second chance to work at the Force when he quit and went to another job, and basically spilled his guts on a whole bunch of Force issues, this guy is seen to be an authority despite there being no evidence. There would be a story on how the Force are looking forward to the start of the season, usually it would end there but instead SMH go on a half page rant detailing the various problems and unproven allegations they have levelled at the Force, every single article... Spiro Zavos I have alot of respect of for a journalist, he doesn't get into all the mudslinging his fellow reporters get into, he actually writes about the game and not turn it into a gossip column... SMH interviewed the other three franchises about the issue but didn't even attempt to ask the Force anything, and I doubt they will do so, as they are essentially a trash newspaper when it comes to rugby, hell, they sponsor the Waratahs, isn't journalism about telling the news in a fair and equal way? As for the ARC, it should have at least been advertised in a meaningful way, they didn't even try, just waiting for it to finish so they could scuttle it, now Grumbles Growden reports they want to create a competition for the best of the Eastern clubs to compete in....real good for the development of rugby in Australia right?
