We all know that PK and Pricky Stuart are good mates, but to say that he didnt deserve those fines and to say that Jarryd hayne caled the ref "discracefull" and got away with it. I just think as a Host of an NRL talk show you cant be bias! look at sterlo, even though bleeds blue and gold, he is very honest and smashes parra if we under perform.
Don't get me wrong I like his point of view sometimes but his love for ricky is getting ridicolous! if he shared that a little bit to other teams it might be a more succseful show!

Maybe they should fine journalists who say Ricky shouldn't be fined.
Only problem is that Kent would still walk away scott free as he does not in any way qualify as a journalist.
Paul Kent is to journalism what Paul Kent is to first-grade rugby league.
I've always had this view on criticising referees given I used to be a ref. Constructive criticism should be allowed. I've had coaches come up to me after a match and tell me they didn't agree with some of my decisions and provided they didn't go overboard and they kept their cool I didn't have a problem. It's all part of letting coaches and players be heard. It builds a good relationship between them and the refs and also allows them to gain a better understanding of the rules.
We want players and coaches to be themselves in the media and show their true feelings following a match and when they do they get crucified and then fined by the NRL. I'm all for allowing players and referees to put across their viewpoint on a refereeing performance provided it is done so constructively and doesn't personally attack referees or imply they are bias.
Referees, despite some enormous blunders, have to make a call in real time with no video assistance.
Video referees, on the other hand, are complete morons.
Unfortunately NRL referees are admittedly biased.
They acknowledge they review video / write "cheat sheets" for common offences by certain individuals (Ben Smith / hold down in tackle anyone?).
It's really bad form.
Mate you have been bias yourself.
Kent did mention other names in the same sentence and not just Hayne.
What he said about Stuart I agree with. Why should he be fined? He didnt question their integrity. All he said was they had a bad performance.
So the way that Ricky accted was totaly acceptable then?
It was emnarssing last year and even raiders fans have had enough
Stuart should've been fined for impersonating an NRL coach.
