Greenberg first mooted the #talkupthegame campaign in an interview with Fairfax Media last month, although he hadn’t added a hashtag to it then.


He wasn’t calling on the media to talk up the game.


“The game is too good and matters to so many people,” he said. “So as players, officials and coaches when you get the chance, talk the game up.”


The role of the media, whether its sport or politics or any round, isn’t to talk up the game. It’s to report, analyse, comment. We’re reporters, not cheerleaders. (Could you imagine Roy Masters holding pom-poms? Yes, so can I).


Those aggressive Telegraph reporters and columnists thundering away at Greenberg are like many in the rugby league media who see some real issues that need addressing, along with the great stories, too.
