Message: [QUOTE="Smartseal, post: 2732515, member: 8976"] Well I think you're partially right.. but kids dont pick role models..... the media do. They're the one who talk up the exploits of players abilities, (try to) convince us that they're "superstars". I dont reckon there is a player in the NRL who at age 17-19 thought "I wanna be a role model", no they thought "i wanna be xxx player or play for broncos/bulldogs/etc" they just wanna play "park" footy. Fortunately for us their talent dictates they play in the premier competition and we, the consumer benefit from their gifted talent. Some still want the anonminity of park footy & subsequently act out like the majority of their peers. I dont condone pierce, carney or the like & their actions but i am sure as shit happy i was never talented enough to face those challenges. [/QUOTE]
