Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3103268, member: 9326"] All his 'just a game' comments? The comment came exactly as it was presented in context in a conversation about players getting harassed on their personal social media. He wasn't talking about his performance, he wasn't even talking about players treating it as 'just a game', he was pointing out that fans and players alike need to take a step back and remember that it is 'just a game' and that personally attacking them online or in their personal lives is taking it too far. It's an entirely reasonable position to hold, especially for a 32 year old with a family and a bit more life experience than most. People trying to extrapolate it out to apply it to his season or his attitude overall are deliberately ignoring the context of the actual conversation at the time and using it to further push their own agenda or preconceptions. Regardless of how he was playing at the time, the context of those comments were clear cut and made complete sense as part of that conversation. To attempt to represent it in any other fashion is the same level of deceit and manipulation that we so regularly deride the mainstream media and Rugby League journos of being guilty of. [/QUOTE]
