I'd love to be a journalist these days. Licence to print money.

If I had anywhere near the connections that most of these "professionals" have, I could run rings around them.

I'd agree that picking fights with the media might not be the wisest thing to do, but they're just expressing an opinion at the end of the day. I'm sure there would be others that think Buzz is fine and does a good job. I've never met any of them, but I'm sure they're out there.

Fifita at it again.
I’m no Rothfield fan.

But man these two need to learn and enact a bit of humility.

They do zero favours for the dumb footy player perception that most people have.

I agree with you but it’s pretty funny tbf. They are just saying what everyone else is thinking but should probably be smarter about it. That being said, journos get to write whatever they want so screw them.

Rothfield is the most influential journo in the game. Best contacts. People say they hate him but they'll still read his stories. His stories get so many hits on the Telegraph website it's ridiculous.

Fifita and Dugan just look like total meat heads here. I would have been ok with them getting into him if they put up some arguments why they don't like him. But it's just, 'he's a ****wit. He's old and bald'. They've also just made a pretty powerful enemy.

Buzz was enemies with fifs long before this haha. Cant remember which one but either the junior ref or FKL incident was when those began hating each other. Buzz mentioned it on 360 last year

Unfortunately when you make an enemy of a jurno, you are on a hiding to nothing.
Most seem to hold grudges and make a mountain from a molehill on any far fetched rumour (true or not) and run it to death.
A minor event will be portrayed as if "it's the end of the world"!

Just so ****ing dumb. Why did they need to say that? Buzz has his enemies, but he also has his fans, it’s not like he’s universally hated. All this does is just create another negative news story for the club coming into the most important part of the year. For what? A cheap laugh. I don’t care how true people think it is, sometimes it’s just best to say nothing. I really can’t think of any kind of defence for Fifs or Duges here. Just ridiculously stupid.

I don’t think Buzz has fans. He’s universally hated but people do hate-read his stuff.

The public hates Fifi more though so he’s on a hiding to nothing. If it was said by a loved Rugby League character it would be considered funny.

I know the popular thing on this site is to loath him and tell you the truth I’m not a big fan of him, but yes, he does has his fans out there, especially on social media



Being a liked club didn't get us far.

We're Cronulla, **** the rest.

Doesn’t mean our players need to act like ****wits.

Fifs in trouble from Sharks about the podcast, has been given a warning plus will now need to get permission from the club prior to speaking with media.

Does Andrew have no sense? Very very silly thing to say the way he did, especially in light of the weekends events with Flanno where there is already attention on him and the club

There are much smarter ways to express your feedback than mouthing off in a podcast

Club needs to pull some heads in
