Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3213788, member: 1847"] As you put it above, I agree with you 100%. No argument. Perhaps I ought to have put my point differently. So, as far as this reported scenario goes, I understand that both Lodge and T'eo took on 1 bloke and shortly after, were assisted further by Riki, Glenn and it sounds like other Broncos as well. Like almost a full Broncos scrum v 1 asshole, with maybe the media or us, feeding the scrum. We all need our heroes to believe in, whether that's sad as you suggest, or not. For me, an act of heroism is a selfless act of courage and bravery taken against the odds. So in this case, unless the assailant was say, an armed member of the Special Forces, then for mine, this doesn't quite scale the heights of a heroic act - a wonderful example of support to a vulnerable person, yes, but hardly an act of heroism. Having said that, it also gave the media another chance to have yet another go at Lodge, so in one sense, Lodge was very brave indeed putting himself in the media spotlight to show he has redeemed himself, which I guess, is kind of heroic. Taking on the media is in most cases, rather heroic. Unless you're Wayne Bennett, when it's the media who are heroes. [/QUOTE]
