The old mobile phone trick

Friday, 06 July 2012 09:41

Well I exposed this ploy a few years back and now it’s been picked up by other media outlets.

The old “I’m on the mobile phone can’t talk to you trick.”

Footy players use it all the time when confronted by the media.

Former Cronulla player Greg Bird did it a few years back when he was facing assault charges.

Now a lot of the Origin players use the same tactic.When they arrived at Sydney airport after Origin 3 rather then face questions from the media, they pretended to be on the phone. It didn’t fool anyone and they looked so stupid.

If they won though,that would’ve been probably been a different story.
