[QUOTE="sanzar, post: 182456"] Yeah I read those stories on Giteau too mate, and this is exactly what I'm talking about. The Herald print some article about Giteau keeping his options open after his contract runs and [b][i][u]possibly[/u] [/i][/b]going back to the ACT Brumbies, yet some how this qualifies as a 'huge eastern media conspiracy to steal Giteau'?!?! I mean for F#CK sake! You lot just need to bloody relax! This is how sports columns work in the off season! Heresay and conjecture is what gets printed when there's little to no real sports news. And it's idiots in the interstate press who get all upset about it and then fly off the handle that keeps it going... no one in Sydney could give a flying f*** if Giteau was going back to camberra, cause we'll still be playing against him! You obviously haven't been following the development of journalism throughout the 20th century... Papers and the media in general have almost completely ceased performing the function of the fourth estate. But that's a discussion for another forum. As for the Herald sponsoring the Tahs... well just have a look at who sponsors the others teams and also maybe check out the NRL and AFL while you're at it (newslimited OWN the broncos and the storm for example) and you'll see that as far as conflicts of interest go it's not exactly unprecedented. In any case it's a footy team and not a political party, so no need to get your knickers in a twist. [/QUOTE]
