Message: [QUOTE="Allo, post: 2689731, member: 8190"] From what I heard, they used a Sheeran song. Probably that one. Whoever decided he should do a book, especially while everyone involved was still playing, is an idiot. There's nothing to gain. He loses respect from a lot of neutrals as it appears to be him trying to make a quick buck out of it (which let's face it, he probably does need considering). It sets up the current Australian captain to be essentially called the worst human alive by the media + everyone anti-Smith. And lastly it's brought up all the issues that, while important, didn't need to be raised again. Particularly his incident i.e. did he duck, could he have helped it, who's at fault, how etc Sure Smith would've liked to have had his time over, but I'm sure 95% of captains would've said something along the lines of what he did. Especially since the diving has been creeping not-so subtly into the game. But he's never not supported Alex in any of the subsequent charity efforts (as mentioned above by 1910). So you can't have a go at him, considering he's one of the most innocent parties when it comes to the [I]cause [/I]of what happened to Alex. Also NSW will write it off as 'dumb Qld conspiracy' but you can't deny the convenient timing. And it's exactly the kind of thing they'd stoop to doing. THAT they can't deny. I haven't gotten into the Origin mudslinging like in the past, but this has just pissed me off tbh. Finally, great work Channel 9, the home of Rugby League™ [/QUOTE]
