Maturity doesn't come with age. Fact is, if a good number of NRL players weren't good enough to make it, they'd be collecting Centrelink checks every week. This thread and what he did is a case in point. Footy players aren't the brightest bunch going around.

I can only assume he's missing a chromosome or two to do such an idiotic thing. Peanut.
You can't put brains in a statue…what this does is give someone else the opportunity To wear the club colours and try to achieve an NRL career ,this probable is a blessing in disguise .On a side note I'm so glad for the change in the Weststigers philosophy of no more crap taken,if Sheens was still there so would Gordon with a reprimand !

Not sure if the image on this thread http://forums.leagueunlimited.com/showthread.php?p=9873624 is a joke, or what he really wrote?
Surely you wouldn't get sacked for that.

… heard Wayne Bennet & Souths were interested a while ago.
Who knows whats happened though
Personally, I find the whole episode of NRL players going to schools to talk about "bullying" a bit weird (anyway …..shouldn't it be anti-bullying??) whether they are Wests Tigers or anyone else. I think the concept is way above their intellect or communication capacity to have any meaningful impact on kids. If it's some kind of societal impact on an issue like anti-bullying that we're after , it's not going to come from some barely coherent, trite, (hopefully) rehearsed message from some guy those same kids are going to watch on TV belt the crap out of someone else during the season. Do you think those kids are clever enough to differentiate between bullying behaviour and the type of physical contact in NRL they see on TV? I don't. If it's about "sportsmanship" or "healthy lifestyle leading to success" I think that's a much better message.

From reports in the media, he signed in under an assumed name, Mike …. i'm sure you can work out the rest. Signing into a school, let that sink in
Think the guy needs to be tested for global developmental delay

1) you are underestimating the intelligence of players for example, farah graduated from USyd in 2010 with a Bachellor in Economics.
2) Kids look up to their idols and professional sportsman in general, I'm sure even a tigers kid would listen to something Hayne had to say.
3) I'm sure if they are talking about bullying they are going adress it as a problem and elaborate on that, not giving ideas on how to bully (maybe thats what Yileen did lol )
@GNR4LIFE said:
thats not as bad as i thought it was gonna be. I was thinking something rracist, homophobic or maybe making fun of bullying victims.
it's a crude joke ( although not gonna lie i laughed the first time i heard it and many times after) but i seriously doubt Robbie or Brooks would get the cut for something like that.

Put it in to context, the guy was at a primary school, 6-12 yr olds. Highly inappropriate. I work in a school, if i did something like that, i'd be sacked. Its not the environment for that kind of stuff.

i think LCA has a valid point in that although they are looked up to by kids, not all league players are going to be university educated and they are basically thrust into PR-type roles with little (i imagine) training. or in this case, little brains.
while it is great to have people kids look up to, professional players these days have a lot on their plate and also i think there should be particular players allocated to these roles, others for whatever other peripheral services they are more suited to that are required by the club.
i dont know. are there so many community things tigers players have to do that spreads them too thin?

Im not passing an opinion on what he apparently did one way or the other; but you say put it in context - you work in a school and you would be sacked if you did what he did - well, if you were spirited into a first grade rugby league game, how would you measure up?
