Pre-origin comments about Reece Walsh

[Tiger_heart]

Apologies if this has already been covered but I saw the ABC's Media Watch on IView only a few days ago.
I am appalled at the comments that had been made leading up to the game, in particular those coming from one of our former greats (and at least one other former player).
If this is the attitude we take going into games (and ultimately end up with eggs on our faces), and if the NRL hasn't seen it proper to step in and condemn them, then we really are living in the past. And before anyone asks, this is not about political correctives, or some "left-wing" whine - this has to do with respect for an individual's dignity.
Hopefully a lesson learned for next game. But I doubt it.

Ep 18 - Origin head knock - Media Watch

Daily Telegraph criticised for its aggressive coverage of the NRL’s first State of Origin game that saw Queensland’s Reece Walsh knocked out.

Ben Elias, what an embarrassment

Hopefully Walsh gets smashed in game 2

I really don’t get the hate for the guy tbh.

presumably the irritating self-righteous toff who hosts it was having a sook about people saying Walsh should be targeted, I can imagine that would offend his sensibilities.

If he was a fighter he’d be given at least a 30 day spell.

Can’t stand when someone says something like “So and so’s comments on 360 just now says it all”. And 9 times out of 10 I’m left thinking “What comments, what did they say?”

Costello's fall: Origin head knock: Radio replay.

The story is here.

Legally, it is part of the game and the risk they take...What happened, though, was nothing to boast about...

Yeah it’s pretty tragic that people can’t compete with the likes of Walsh so their attitude is to bash him out of the game and screw his life up post career.
It’ll be interesting to see where the game ends up. The medico’s aren’t happy with the amount of brain trauma from sports like ours.
People calling for it like this are doing the game zero favours.

Since origin 1 I have noticed he falls backwards while also dropping a bit after passing the ball
I think he needs to remove this habit from his game for his own benefit when going to the line
Not saying it’s okay to hit him high it’s just the same as backing into tackles and dropping your ass you’re putting yourself in danger
