Casual listeners don't know diddly squat they are far more likely to want to hear what is the state of play country wide and in particular how this feeds into the national team.heno wrote: ↑October 19th, 2021, 9:03 amYou need to stop tuning in expecting to hear detailed technical analysis with an equal spread over the 4 provinces. Put on your journalistic hat and ask yourself where is the story this week? Giving more than a couple of minutes to leinster doing exactly what everyone expected leinster to do, isn't going to attract and hold onto the casual listener.Ruckedtobits wrote:Listening to OTB on Monday evening and between Joe, Gerry Thornley & Matt Williams we had almost exactly 30 minutes about Munster. A couple of apologist comments about Connacht being the " better side" but that was the height of analysis of anybody other than Munster.
Two minutes about the forthcoming gap in Leinster's calender but very limited comment or analysis about the Irish Province which is playing the best rugby of all four. One fact Thornley pulled was that the five Leinster front-rows, Porter, Healy, Furlong, Kelleher & Sheehan have scored 68 tries between them for the Province. Extraordinary.
It's like tuning into the traffic reports and expecting to hear what roads don't have traffic.

For example our main selectoral problems are in certain positions, how did the prospective candidates perform.
That's the sort of stuff the casual listener wants to hear, not ten minutes (I'm guessing here) that Snyman's situation has had on Munster's situation and the likely impact on their season.
The casual listener couldn't give two fupps about Snyman and probably don't know much about him and care less because he's not IQ.
