Quote rubber duckie="rubber duckie"I've said it before. Rugby players are thick. Some are unbelievably thick.'"
Many of them are so thick they don’t understand they are professional athletes.
Instead of looking at Chris Sandow and Todd Carney for the culture of the sport they want to be like, and justifying it by saying “well the NRL is the top league in the sport!”... they need to go and spend some time seeking guidance from people like Anthony Joshua, Adam Peaty, Mo Farah, Andy Murray etc. and take their heads out of this rugby league world they live in thinking that they lead the lives of athletes. Because they don’t.
They need to take this sport out of the rut it’s in and becoming professional athletes to go with their professional wages needs to be the first step.
Instead of us making the news when Hardaker gets done for cocaine use or Tim Smith and Kevin Locke get done for drink driving, they need to get us in the news for the right reasons.
