  Totally agree Ken its amateurish and ridiculous, you would think the NRL signing deals for nearly a billion dollars could provide mics for the journos at the pressers.

  How hard could it be for each of the press to take a ballot for the order in which the questions will be asked, then have a guy with a boom mike going from one to the next letting them ask their question?

  This way sometimes Fox will get first question, sometimes ABC etc etc. Everyone gets one question, go your hardest.

    Having been in a number of press conferences, it's simply not practical. Generally one journo will kick off the presser with a fairly open question asking the coach about his view of the game. The remaining questions then generally come from all over the place and are sometimes based on the coach's answers. There's also no one from the NRL in these pressers. Only club staff and journos are present and with these rooms generally being small there isn't a hell of a lot of room for boom mics.
