Gun Journalist. King of the cliche. A shandy off playing first grade like my brother, so now write great stories about rugby league. Parody.

@NRLonNine In the fair dinkum department, who do you believe?

Brooks or Hoops?

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@CamMagicMan @AndrewRLP If you had a panel of articulate ex players and not a couple of hack journos with one first grade game between them, what are you left with as a show!

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@bkp083 @MCarayannis @dailytelegraph No Hoops?!

You mean no cliches, no more worn out jokes, no more reading texts from Matt from Collaroy, no more made up "mail"? That's what the punters are crying out for in a rugby league show.

@MediaweekAUS @TripleM_NRL can I get a new cab charge card? Kenty was supposed to pick me up.

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@Swampduck04 @FOXNRL There's nothing cowardly about bullying someone for years, as long as you give an apology where you blame the victim when they react.

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@MikeMeehallWood Nice article R2D2, but there wasn't a single cliche in it, or a large lump of superficial quotes.

Not sure if you're @FOXNRL material, keep chipping away though. I'd recommend focusing on a few made up transfer stories or deathriding the tigers.

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@MrJacobSheppard @pantherman45 @TripleM_NRL No it isn't you peanut - PVL will keep selling my bosses the rights for a song.

We can cut costs even further by not sending staff to games (suits me fine - it's a short pushbike ride to the @FOXNRL studios) and generally treating you punters like mugs.

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@macris_michael @FOXNRL It's like I always say, just block anyone from commenting and no one can slap you down with a comeback.

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@mickkyjags @FOXNRL You must be as sharp as a bowling ball if you have to ask

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@aMACEing1 @MrBlairHughes @FOXNRL @NRL @SCA Exactly!

Just because he asked repeatedly to stop doesn't mean we should have, I had to roll the sleeves up and do what was best for the show. If he hadn't walked out I had some great material on how tight his shirt was to go to next, Flanagan is going to cop it this week!

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@JamesWa17463538 @TripleM_NRL @FOXNRL @telegraph_sport I'm sure the head honchos will take this personally - no one has said anything good about me for years and I keep getting promoted!

Any attention is good attention.

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@brisbanebroncos In the fair dinkum department, the Broncos have hit Cobbo with all the force of a wet lettuce leaf here.

Anyone involved in the sport caught with driving offences should be hit with severe sanctions.

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

Guys enough is enough with the pile on me.

Not as if I've led campaigns against players who have cited mental health issues and tried to make them look horrible on a public stage.

It's not so fun being on the other end of it, lucky Kenty has my back.

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@WestSydneySport @FOXNRL No one should put "James Daffyd Hooper" into a NSW court register search

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@mickkyjags @TripleM_NRL You're tough from 1000km away.

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

Only those in the studio know the facts, it's not as if the incident was broadcast on @TripleM_NRL or anything

[Telegraph Sport @telegraph_sport]

Anthony Maroon has somehow emerged as a sympathetic victim of bullying. This is a major distortion of facts but the hypocritical mental health snowflakes will never consider that, writes PAUL KENT. https://t.co/Zo9kZm7zkb

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@MarkGottlieb @brisbanebroncos @9NewsQueensland Will these players never learn! Imagine having to get lifts off your work colleagues just to earn a crust.

I'll address it tonight on @FOXNRL

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@Peterfe09652983 @FOXNRL Every time someone calls me out on socials, my triceps get bigger

[James Hooper @FuxJamesHooper]

@dominicgoldman1 @FOXNRL What for you peanut? A bit of banter!?

I already gave a very sincere apology on air for this storm in a teacup, all parties have moved on.
