This is commendable and kinda cute; but in my opinion also naive from rob too.
He still hasn’t fronted trained kiwi journalists who might be a tad more objective than YF elites. That interview would provide quotable newsworthy sources for oz media for a start. And philosophically I’m not in favour of independent media being replaced by club propaganda.
Despite being happy-ish that Rob has said this to someone, I have to agree. This is terrible PR work.
Patrick - thanks. Interesting that people are saying Gallop lied, but the only reference I can find to the proposed 15m bid was from an article written by Dominic Bossi who stated it as fact. Gallop said this, which could have easily been in reference to the proposal that we would take games to Campbelltown instead of Auck/Chch/Hamilton etc. in return for some investment. Gallop obviously left it intentionally ambiguous though.
Still can't shake that something is a bit fishy about all this from Rob. Too much smoke. Too much Trump-esque 'fake news' rhetoric.
