If you look at the article on stuff about the signing of Rudan the article was 50% about how Rob didn't know who he was two years ago, which doesn't really seem relevant.

Rob was the one that made it relevant. If he had left it alone then Rudan's response would have been nothing more than a throwaway sentence. Instead, he directly attacked a journalist at the major news outlet in the city. Of course that's worth reporting on for that news outlet.

Factor in that it's the only statement Rob's actually made to the media in quite a while and it becomes very relevant. Rob should have left it alone.

F- it he's got a good coach and dealt with a lot of sharke. If he wants to return serve once or twice that's fine with me.

Sure, but then you deal with the fallout in the media from it afterward.

If you're cool with your outburst taking column inches away from the real (positive) news of the day, then go for it. 

Well considering those of us who wanted the club to show fight and napier saying we were just guna a roll over it made me happy! 

Fight and character on the field.  And fight in the politics for extending the licence and an independent A League (but even there a degree of charm will help).

But heck, get the local journos on side.  If we want crowds of punters as opposed to a few k of tragics, then we're going to need the journos helping tell a good story.
