"What is it with Journos and having a drinking problem? Is this a common thing, or just with Rugby League journos?"
"I think he'll do well there. I thought he was doing a decent job at the Titans and surprised they fired him. Letโs see how he goes with the spine."

He will say Parramatta getting rid of Gutho and RCG and being a basket case led him to drink. It's their fault.
In all fairness, Hooper couldn't answer simple questions or follow simple instructions whilst sober either.
I see that Hoops has deputised Dean Ritchie to carry on the anti-Parra agenda.
Has Hooper had his day in court yet
Seriously, who gives a fig; he's a journo and while I dont always agree with him, he's paid to comment.
We all make mistakes - and while I have never been done for DUI, I am just glad no one was hurt, unless I am wrong.
Personally for me I have not watched the NRL show for ages, more so because Kent was taken off, he was the only one worth it.
Hoops got a a$2k fine plus 6 months licence suspension
Thanks Eelovution
Sounds like every damn day for sport reporters...I reckon he thought he was at work and had a meeting with his boss
....Out of booze after the drive to work, our hero Hoops "attempts to leave", but is so pissed that he just sort of shuffles aboutย babbling bullshitย
Boss see him and says "you are incoherent",ย "You smell" like pub carpet and make no sense at all
Hoops, feeling unfairly rebuked, explains that he was only "unsteady on his feet"" because i was "blind" drunk. Annnd I only "smelt like liquor" because I had drunk "heaps" of alcohol....why are we talking about this again?ย
Boss says he is "unable to answer simple questions" .... Hoops replies "You got me".butย I'm an NRL journo, what the fuck do you want want from me
Boss nods knowingly andย tells him to go finish his column, but Hoops, "unable to follow simple instructions", drives to "Newtown" to work on getting his "blood alcohol concentration" back to its "0.253" baseline
He absolutely thought it was a fucking Tuesday at the office
Haha

Do we know if Buzz has had an opinion on this ? ย I remember back in the day when I used to frequent the city regularly , Buzz was part of the furniture along with a few players and a current NRL coach of a certain adult establishment and would leave in his car totally blotto. It was part of the culture . ย Journos are just hypocrites , everyone knows it. How many opinions would Hooper have had over the years about players doing this and been critical of them. I think that's why so many people get joy from seeing these clowns come undone. They literally peddle these stories for profit. ย It's funny how silent they are when it's one of their own.ย
Bit like people who " mythbust " fake news and then peddle it .ย
