Schoey says things that rub people up the wrong way and also things that are very true. I read the column and agreed with 95% of it.(the only points I disagreed with were the ones about Ablett and JJB having no presence) But to come on here and deride him as a loser because of his medal tally is juvenile at best.( and I really find G1's posts to be informative and balanced normally). Its like saying Neil Cowie or Ryan Bailey are 5 times the player Kevin Ward was because of their medals!!! Or as Richard has said E.T to Shane Perry. There are 100's of examples of people who are lucky enough to win things and other much better players who havent won anything. And before you say Kevin Ward won an ozzie grand final..so did Harvey Howard...

To be fair this is probably the first time ive seen someone defend GS on here, who knows him well and i'm afraid Richard_delariv has shown a few people on here up with the points he's stated. I bet Boots n all would be better if GS was a regular and would create more talking points, both good and bad. In fact there's quite a few people who have been on Super League Supermen who would be better on Boots n all including Bobbie Goulding and Mal Reilly than bland Paul Cullen and Shaun McRae or Phil Clarke

he sees himself as a straightalking oracle of the people but broadcast media want nothing to do with him because in a live environment he struggles to get his simplistic views across, let alone provide any form of justification or debate

its just another post career aspect of the game that he isn't upto, along with coaching and administrating ... which is why he comes across as he does

(of course there is room for a colour commentator in the sky line up ... they employ the biggest buffoon of the lot, but one who is capable of 3 live broadcasts per week if required)

Watching that episode now, painfully well-observed. Finchy is of course a Leeds fan, natch.

What's the latest with this ? any news ?

Saw Schoey at Cas on Sunday and he was having a laugh at Peacock's expense.

If that is the case then I agree with all the people calling Schoey a bitter person

I'm reminded of Brian McDermott's comments that some players are more interested in their mobile phones and new tattoos than improving their performance. Maybe that shouldn't have been directed at just the younger element of the squad.
