Because once the NZ sex scandal made the news, the disconnect between the fictitious womanising, uncouth Reg Regan and the clean cut Matty Johns was no longer there. To keep Reg "alive", Matty had to be beyond reproach. Unfortunately the "consensual" gang bang made Matty no longer palatable in the female viewers eyes. He had cheated on his wife and was on the nose. Ch 9 had to kill the character off. Sponsors wouldn't have touched it with a 8 and a half inch barge pole.....
So you think eye gouging, punching, elbows in the face, ruck marks on the chest and concussions are better?? You're a twit .. the game was definitely more entertaining that for sure, but you've been sleeping under a rock haven't you. We don't live in the "harden the fk up" era.. Mental health is a thing. Concussions are not a good thing at all. The grubby game played in the 80-90's was just plain filth. Ego driven men that wanted to be the biggest bully. The worlds changed and all you types are falling behind. Bad luck. Let me say that again - the WORLD is moving forward and YOU are falling behind. No one cares for violence anymore. No one cares for stoopidty anymore. No one wants their kids watching ego driven maniacs harm each other. Being tough and grubby doesn't make you a man. Goodbye.

Don't know why Matty Johns doesnt bring back this character for his show.
DaNZ 27 ch 9 canned him as they were getting complaints from leftards who are all PC. Whingers.
Cause NRL banned Reg.

@@RPAS1234 was it proven that Matty Johns actually took part in it or is it the usual allegedly?
