Great player, but much like Sheels as a coach, untouchable, even when he blatantly lays on the ground, or pretends to be hurt to get a penalty…Remeber the "wink"?
 
Remember him beating his girlfriend? Not channel 9 who have him as their poster boy for the finals "sportsmanship" "mateship" blah blah "domestic violence". That ad is the height of untouchable.

Correction - he only hit her to stop her hurting herself. Silly her.

I don't think it's fair to bring in his domestic abuse charges. He was let off from them, and has since been working really positively as a role model towards the youth of Australia, particularly Indigenous Australians. Our entire justice system is based on the concept of redemption and in that aspect I feel (although I don't know, as I don't know him personally) he has attempted to rectify his past actions.

Might not be fair, but its fact. The NRL were happy to flick Brett Stewart then and now from any role model type role, and he was cleared too. Just does not sit right with me that someone with that kind of past can be glorified in that kind of ad, no matter what attempt at redemption had been made. There's a hundred other players to pick from who do just as much in the community they could have heroed.

Yeah of course I don't think he should be a poster boy for anything unless its repentance or some thing similar yknow? But to use that against him is uncalled for IMO

Hitting a woman is also uncalled for, IMO

He wasn't let off.

He plead Guilty.

My bad. I was under the impression that they had dropped the case. Apologies. He has still tried to redeem himself since though, in the community

most successful penalty milker in the game. Got us at least twice tonight.

Yep, frustrating

Teddy outplayed inglis tonight but to be fair GI is busted and probably just cruising as they thought they'd smash us regardless

He's a protected penalty milker and not particularly entertaining to watch.

ahaha are you serious?
He is one of the games premier players. I think he is very entertaining when running straight over the top of Newsouth welshmen.
 
credit where credit is due. out of all the players such as smith, cronk, slater, thurston etc. GI has to be the next immortal.

he has everything you need in RL: toughness, skillset, smartness, defense and is FAST

every player has his deficiencies in the public eye
benji/robbie are egoistic players
smith is a cheater
cronk is just feeding off smith
slater is a grub
thurston is a whinger
etc. etc. etc.

The fact that he's somehow eligible for Qld is a pretty entertaining magic trick 😱pen_mouth:
