Really not sure how effective this protest will be, can’t say that not seeing an nrl logo on the jersey while watching an nrl game is going to affect me as a viewer like the player interviews are supposed to.

    Exactly.

    Are players high IQ intellectuals? Generally no.

    Are the interviewers asking questions that are going to elicit high IQ answers even if the player is a legit 200 IQ genius? Also no.

    I’d rather they just didn’t interview the players post game at all, ever. Interview the coaches. Interview the analysts. Leave the player interviews for things like the Matty Johns show where they’re just on there having a conversation with like minded individuals, in a relaxed setting where they didn’t just play 80 minutes of football. What I want to see in post game coverage is the experts and former players analysis of the game. - where it was won, where it was lost, how a coach changed their tactics to mitigate strengths of the opponents or how the game was going. Get the big touchscreen telly out and run us through some of the plays that worked, some that didn’t, etc.

    I don’t care about players giving routine answers to routine questions.
