The Australian’s Media Diary is reporting that Liam Tapper was in talks about joining Weekend Today to replace Clint Stanaway following his depature last year. However, apparently both staff and management have taken note about his politics-heavy takes on social media. They tell readers to take a “gander” now, as they expect the content to be removed.

Are they drunk? They have a presenter who is sitting in the chair filling in now who is a thousand times better than Tapper.

100% agree. Michael should be the next host of WT alongside Felix as their new sports presenter. I know they’re on budget cuts. But this has to work. Felix went well while hosting WT with Ali and Lizzie when Stanaway left.

They don’t need a sports presenter on the weekend if Michael’s the host. He’s perfectly capable of doing sports and host like Clint did.

It’s not about whether or not Michael is capable (which he is) but more about the energy Felix is bringing to the role and general team.

They need to Allegro Dolce up a bit.
Michael is great but a bit bland. Having Felix and Dan to bounce off would help him enormously

He’s just excellent 
That’s great. Not sure what your point is.
Probably summed up the views of some of his audience well.
Would be a great way to deal with them.

Joel has been great filling in over the last 2 weeks.
Danika has posted on Instagram that today is her last day in the studio before a whirlwind 7 weeks on the road with sport.

Does it mean she’s going to Vegas for the NRL opener?
Yes I’d expect so.
Not sure what would be in between AO and NRL Opener?

Oh yeah that too. She mentioned it the other day on the show. Thank goodness K&S aren’t going there.
That would be it, thanks!
