Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 2952612, member: 9326"] Sorry, but that’s just rubbish. He may very well care about himself first and foremost, and he may very well care about pay cheques far more than most, but I simply can’t accept that he ‘doesn’t give a shit’. You don’t carve out a pretty successful NRL career without giving a shit. It’s easy for us as arm chair critics to forget that cutting it at the elite level of the NRL is damn hard, and requires focus and commitment that most of us would never be capable of, let alone if we even had the ability. Plenty of players with ability but no commitment crash and burn, hardly any end up successful over the long term, and DCE has definitely had success over the long term. I can’t understand how anyone can argue that an elite NRL player doesn’t care about results or winning. I could cop that maybe he cares about them for the wrong reasons (his own personal profile and the pay cheque that accompanies it) but I can’t cop that he doesn’t care about winning or being successful at all. All players want to win, all players want to be successful, even the ones who love getting paid first and foremost. Sorry to say it but it’s now or never for him, a guy who obviously deeply cares about his own self first and foremost, to prove that he deserves to be considered amongst the best of his generation by dominating at Origin level, and this time, he’s coming into a team that doesn’t have an established culture or leadership group, and is ripe for him to come along and make his own.
