Friend Family 371 Report post Posted July 11 Isn't it great news that Entain have finally granted Mick Guerin his own new weekly show to be called the 'Guerin Report' and let the girls (Jayne Ivil and Emily Bosson) carry on with the galloping recap show Weigh In. Guerin has more in-depth knowledge of both codes than any other NZ scribe or TV presenter and this show is way overdue and will be a great watch. Due to go to air in the new season Guerin will leave you wanting more after each show as he asks the hard-hitting questions of industry leaders that we 'the punters' need to know and will greatly appreciate. Well done Mick .....youv'e earned this slot and I'm sure the programme will be very successful.... not to mention educational and fulfilling.

Friend Family 371 Report post Posted July 11 Well this IS an opinion site Scooby and isn't it great that we can agree or disagree. For mine Mick is far and above all others and that's WHY he is in such high demand ....and I bet you watch the show hahaha ......even if its so you can 'bag him' .....he is a great mind on all things racing and harness racing......and second to none as a presenter. The show will be a great watch that's for sure. Goodison 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling to think of a time that I heard MG ask a hard hitting question, let alone follow it up if he did. Maybe this will be the moment of change but I'm not hopeful.

Friend Family 371 Report post Posted July 11 You guys ......you guys ..... he hasn't got to where he is today by being a 'DUMBO'.

gubellini 4,415 Report post Posted July 11 Friend Family stating that Mick will ask the hard industry questions is a gross abuse of the English language.

Industry "leaders" would all be taking mental health leave within 12 months if LR started on them regularly . The first big question I would ask is " do we really have industry leaders?" .

Houlahan's Dream 614 Report post Posted July 11 Speaking of hard hitting questions, his first one could be to the ATR team along the lines of "how is the Ellerlslie refurb coming along and who lost their job over the decision to rush the track back into action for KM night when it was obviously not ready?"..

Would any of you actually take the bit between the teeth and do your own Racing show?.....I think I know the answer to that .....so give the bloke a chance and then you can mark his performance.

I get your trying to be positive , but straight up , I've known heaps of people that could and would ask the industry leaders plenty of hard hitting and legitimate questions about the current situation and future direction of the racing industry . Now if only we could find these "leaders" and get them to front up to these questions , that would take some real investigative journalism .

Friend Family 371 Report post Posted July 11 Unfortunately, Baz ....Luke Raddich has been BANNED from ever appearing on an Entain programme ever again after 'booting up for Tony Lee's contract being terminated' !! ....He called Entain out for an outrageous decision and was booted by the Entain boss forever. I like Luke like most punters do as he is a punter and thinks like a punter and talks like a punter.....but we never going to see him on screen again unfortunately. It's Mickey G's show and lets all give him a chance as its what we need for Monday night entertainment.

The one intelligent guy on telly and Entain give him the heave-ho. Reminds me of how he got shafted the first time with Trackside because a fellow "presenter" (more like clown) felt inferior and got the powers that be to edge him out. Luke should take both incidents as a sign of excellence on his behalf. Sometimes you need to be proud of what youre doing if the losers out there dont like you. JJ Flash, nomates, Alf Riston and 5 others 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
