Naked Manly prank causes red faces

Interviewing spots players after a match is always tricky business and after the Manly Sea Eagles lost to Melbourne Storm, FOX Sports cameras caught little more than it intended.
Player Michael Robertson was seen in the background of an interview exposed in a shower, or rather, swinging his genitalia around, presumably as a prank to lift his teammates’ losing mood.
The footage, pre-recorded, was clumsily aired by FOX Sports. Even more foolishly, it was emailed by a FOX employee to a friend, who posted it on You Tube.
You can see the offending clip here. Warning contains nudity!
Meanwhile there are now calls to the Rugby Leage Professionals Association to ban cameras from changerooms until 45 minutes after a game.
Last year TEN got into trouble when AFL players were heard to drop the ‘F’ word after the AFL Grand Final. This year NRL players also let fly with the F word, but after 9:30pm.

thats robably out of the action safe area on tv sets – and certainly not at all in frame on a 4:3 ratio – i imagaine they thought it would be out of frame to a bulk of viewers
Poor guy. Pretty sure he didnt know there was a camera pointed in his direction.
But still, its pretty funny that they showed it. Especially seeing as though it wasn’t a live interview or anything. Geez I can just imagine what some people are going to say about this.. What about the children?!?! haha this may get blown up a bit
should be more of it
