That Whateley has no interest or knowledge of the NRL.
This goes to what Badger17 was doing earlier in the thread...trying to assert a symmetry that just doesn't exist.

Fox red-faced after Matthew Johns spruiks AFL
The NRL and Fox Sports have been left embarrassed, with the face of Fox League, Matthew Johns, involved in an advertising campaign to promote the game’s great rival.
The new members pavilion is brilliant. Old members is trash for viewing.
Still a very bad mismatch of stadiums.
Still with limited thoroughfare.
Still with under-whelming concession stalls.
Still not very well served by public transport.

Try listening to whateley across the divide on sen Sydney in the past few weeks. The bloke sucks up so badly to the NRL and Sydney listeners it's embarrassing. Then talks up storm like they're the biggest thing in Melbourne. On the other hand your mate vossy was calling for a relocation of the giants to Canberra a week or two ago on the alternate segment.
Gerard has very little knowledge of NRL. He is a smart guy and will research the issue of the week, but knows little of the players or the game itself. That is obvious.That Whateley has no interest or knowledge of the NRL.

Have a look at sen Sydney this week. ****ing grand final week, the swans the biggest club in the state and pretty much nothing. Gerrard might not know much, but he talks up the storm, shows interest in the sport when it's discussed and doesn't turn his lip up at any mention of the nrl.
Your mate Vossy is pushing for the giants to relocate to Canberra, you'll hear this a lot outta the Sydney/nrl media, they are truly nervous about having a second version of the swans up there in 20 years time. Come to think of it, your anti giants too, makes sense now.
I listen. It is good to hear from someone in Sydney. His perspective was interesting, his son is playing AFL and 100% of the talk at his son’s club is around the Swans, even though they are west of Sydney (I think). There is close to zero interest or coverage of the Giants - AFL in Sydney is the Swans.
And the Giants are more popular in Canberra than Sydney so that is not such an outrageous suggestion.
Please stop peddling this. They're not.
We get larger crowds because we have more AFL fans, not Giants fans.
At the end of the day, Canberra has fewer than a fifth of Giants members, whereas Sydney has roughly 70%.
And a higher percentage of Sydney's members would actually be primarily Giants fans.
They may not have yet built a culture of attendance in Sydney, but the Giants are definitely more popular in Sydney than Canberra.
