Message: [QUOTE="I bleed Maroon, post: 2873641, member: 8274"] Begrudgingly, you have to say yes, but emphasis on begrudgingly. I like Cameron and I respect him and everything he's achieved, but even as someone who Bleeds Maroon, it would be remiss of me to ignore all of his shortcomings as well and there are plenty. Cam has repeatedly shown both on field and off that he isn't just a first class player, he's also a quality Politician. And Politicians are first and foremost self serving. Even Bennett for all of the influence he commands has never tried to exert as much control over the game as Cameron has, and I have no doubt he has picked that up from his coach and the culture of his club. Whether it be strong arming the NRL and the clubs via the RLPA for a bigger payday, case in point this farcical trial match he and JT are looking to cash in on, or his lawyer like lecturing of the referees on field to get his own way, or captaining a side that won a premiership 2 years after being snagged in the biggest cheating scandal in Australian sport and never batting an eyelash since. He has never, ever minded serving himself and his club first and everyone else second, and that would be okay if not expected, were it not for the fact the competition as a whole has suffered greatly for it. He's a future immortal and probably a future class coach/administrator, there's no denying that, but it isn't right to forget all the people he has stepped on to get there either. That sort of attitude has never been in Locky's character and I love and respect him a lot more for that. [/QUOTE]
