In regards to Wilson herself, someone may know more detail than me, but she is a former elite athlete , represented Australia in possibly netball/basketball etc So she has some credibilty in my books, something none of us have achieved, Compare that to Danny \"toilet journo\" weidler who has achieved nothing in his short life span who seems a fave on that show.
no mate, just going back a few years even before Vicki.
Needless to say, im not a fan of Rebbecca wilson as such, but she has been a journo for 20 years, so would be harsh to call her a hack, again i compare her to danny Weidler who has never played the game either and has been a journo for about a quarter of that time,
To hammer someone who has never played the game is very ignorant, ray Warren comes to mind, Ray Hadley, etc etc , from a long term point of view, its great to have female journos, as it gives a female perspective, and will attract more girls to the game, more people to the game means more money, and so on.
We dont have to agree with everything she or anyone else says, no one is asking us to, she just gives an educated opinion and gets good money to do so! But dont bag her because she is happy to give her opinion, and anyone who has lasted in the media for 20 years is definately not a hack!
