He was born with a gift - but it wasnt boxing - do you agree with that?
Mate I still believe he is a wonderful role model to both kids & junior footballers - but I worry that because of all his on-field achievements & his highly gracious & gentlemanly public persona - that he is placed on too high a pedestal (with a halo to boot) for any young man to meet these impossibly high expectations!!!
I have actually read the word "perfect" in regards to what he should aspire to in this threat on several occasions - and it makes me sick!!!
He is a human-being like us - he has never been "perfect" on the pitch - so why expect it in his own hours????
In my eyes - there was no mistake or wrongdoing - just a human reacting in a natural & forgivable manner after doing so much good (that night itself) & copping extreme unjustified crap from some faceless idiots while trying to have a good time with his girl!!
He has not let ME down - & I will not let HIM down now!!!!!
There better be a big crowd at Leichhardt for RD 2 to show him we care!!!!
