FORMER NRL star Terry Hill is unlikely to be invited to any future Wests Tigers functions after disgracing himself at the club’s season launch.

Hill made a number of grubby and inappropriate remarks about former players, sex, brothels and a sponsor while being interviewed as part of a panel of celebrities.

More than 200, many of them women, attended the function on Tuesday night at the up-market Deckhouse restaurant in Woolwich.

“Some of the things he was saying wouldn’t have even been appropriate at an all-blokes function,” said one of the guests.

We asked Wests Tigers CEO Grant Mayer if Hill would be invited to future club functions.

“It would be very hard to justify having him back,” Mayer said.

“Unfortunately he said things that were inappropriate for the audience and it was very disappointing.

“Rugby league has moved on from years gone by and, as a club, we’re trying to lift the standards in what we present to our sponsors and our members.

“This was a function for players, sponsors and their partners and what happened won’t be tolerated as we move forward.”

After Hill had spoken, he and a former teammate exchanged heated words about his comments.

Hill could not be contacted by The Sunday Telegraph for comment.

It's an anachronistic blight on the game that so many people still involved in the game, directly and indirectly and a huge proportion of fans still feel it's acceptable to not only think in such a fashion, but publicly display it.

People who wonder why the game can't progress farther forward, can consider this exhibit A.

It was a bad idea to sign him to the tigers, or invite him to a tigers function, he did nothing for the club and didn't help the tigers in any games he played he was just in it for the money

It wasn't as bad as is being made out, he made no mention of brothels, it was a strip club.

Probably a bit out of line but not worthy an article in the paper

Can you advise on the bad language he was reported to have used?

Are you new,when Hill played we were a far better team than when he didn't,even out of position at lock he improved our team.

You must not have been around when his move to lock halted a 5 game losing streak that saw us concede 152 pts (27 tries) and score 32 pts (6 tries) in '03

But yeh, he looked hammered in the vid, this is how you sort the wheat from the chaff, you learn from these mistakes…he wont be here again in future

Some guys like Buckets & Skando - Hodgo's another, Farah in future - you can virtually guarantee there'd be no dramas with, others not so easy

I haven't seen it. But, it disappoints me that someone would think the input (humour, comment, insights..) of Terry Hill would be worthy of a spot at a significant moment such as the season launch. Hindsight, I know. But the world has not just changed, it's changed since it changed and it will continue to change at a rate that is beyond the comprehension of someone like Terry Hill (but I hope not Grant Mayer….time will tell). In that respect, I was disappointed that Ch 9 retained the broadcast rights for the NRL in the immediate future (Ray Warren should have been put out to pasture years ago); Sky Sports Radio continues to involve Peter (Zorba) Peters for his comments (Manly biased, of course) and, I despair that when I tune into ABC Grandstand on Thursday night for commentary on the Souths v Roosters game it will be David Morrow and Warren Ryan leading the way. I may be wrong on the latter, but, if I am not, it will be the equivalent of an expert on Model-T Fords offering their insights on the latest product from Audi. Terry Hill, and his brand of humour and intellect, is in the same basket. Surely, we can do better.

When he was on the field and fit he was our best, most inspirational player.

What was he even doing there in the first place. He hasn't had anything to do with the club for 10 yrs.

So not only did Tezza make inappropriate comments, but he also sprayed half the audience with saliva from tha awesome lisp of his.

Yes I agree but it is in the right direction, no Tommy, Blocker or co. I wonder if former greats McGuiness and Field where in the crowd.

these things can get overblown in the media.

We are trying to forge our own history
WTs history

Its the right way to go…..three of our former players on the night held themselves with respect, one didnt....and he gets all the mentions

Or Hopoate, Lamb and Langmack?

 

[Goose]

his efforts on the field in the early days are under rated, I can see why they went with Hill for this sort of gig, he has had a reasonable high profile at times, but I m not overly surprised he stuffed it.

 

[happy_tiger]

This is what happens when you give an ounce of respect to Manly scum

All of them got up to mischief ,caused heaps of trouble and brought the clubs name to shame

Best thing that could happen for mankind if they locked Hopoate ,Terry Hill and Craig Field in the same jail cell for life

 

[TJL]

Terry played for the Pies before he did the Manly filfth, that must be remembered.
