Hes not my cup of tea but he's always up for a laugh and not shy about doing fun things. He was funny a couple of year ago in the con club doing the beer challenge and stuff like that, got everyone singing and having the craic.

Sure rugby AM has got low production value but I like it, always good to see interviews and get stories from the players etc.

The show doesn’t bother me, he does. I’m actually concerned for his mental state and live in hope that it’s just an act. I think what grinds me most is that he reminds me of those berry local club clowns so beloved of the Union game but minus the posh/yokel accent.

If he just toned it down a little, say 99% he’d be ok. Even 50% would be a start. Again sorry.0

He definitely acts up to the camera but he is a stand up guy, as nice as they come , just a generally very approachable friendly lad.

I've interviewed him on the radio before and he's so sound and has a story for every minute of the hour available and more.

I do think he fits the class clown role well.

That said, I don't watch the show and i can understand why the class clown role puts people off him. But you can't please everyone!

It’s your opinion FC and entitled to it, but like I said I’ve known him and his family for some years now and have the highest regards for them, played with and against him at social level and always made one in even when in SL, cracking kid. I know it’s all for show just like any other tv person just he’ll be on a lot less whilst trying to make a living after playing the hardest field sport.

What I don't get us why people who really don't like someone feel the need to watch it and then bitch about it to everyone.
Either watch or don't watch.

Its not for me, tries too hard to copy what Beau Ryan does on the footy show.

What I don’t understand is why your moderating a forum who’s intent is to allow people to express there opinion yet you clearly don’t get it. So let’s get this right, according to the law of pot tart somebody who puts themselves forward in the world of media cannot be criticised or commented upon.

I’d like to say it’s unreal but where your concerned it isn’t.

So for future reference please let us mere mortals know what we can and can’t bitch about. Save you the bother in the future.

What I suspect is needed is a professional director who will help him tone it down a bit, maybe Kris Kamara level.

As a player and a person I’ve no doubt he’s a good lad that’s not my issue.

On the plus side he’s plenty of time to learn his trade as he’s young. I remember I couldn’t abide Graham Norton when he first started, too camp and way to smutty. Now I think he’s the best interviewer in the business. Not suggesting Wagga will reach those heights but if he’s willing to learn he may well have a career.

Despite PTs ludicrous huff I actually wish anyone willing to put their neck on the line all the best but criticism is part of the deal. Strikes me that he’s got a thick enough skin to ignore anything I have to say.

Just watched it for the first time and really enjoyed it.
