Nope. He is a mug lair and has been for years.
Growing the long hair, wearing the stupid shades, carrying around a boom box playing braindead music, acting like a bad winner on the field, talking crap on social media.
Its all orchestrated. He wants to be seen. He wants to be talked about. Look how he mouthed off when Samoa made the WC Final. He is searching for validation and Penrith has too many stars for anyone other than the coach's son to stand tall.
Then he looks at Newcastle. Middling sort of team, played above their level and their star received all the plaudits...unfairly I say but he is the big name.
This is how we'll bring him in...'you'll be the big fish in a little pond but still have some decent sized fish swim with you'. The money is a great bonus.
