"I like that boulder-that is a nice boulder":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46175.jpg



Having let the dust settle and after watching the horror unfold a few times again today, unfortunately it has only confirmed my belief that Terry Campese is probably the biggest disappointment since Kerry Bousted. He has spent most of his time in the stands and when on the pitch,gone missing in the big games. Yesterday,we needed a leader we didn't get one to organise and direct players around the pitch. Apart from the 40/20 (which admittedly was one of the best I have seen in recent years)his kicking game and choice of kicks,particularly in the last 10 mins was shocking .He should have been kicking into touch to wind down the clock rather than going to the air. The set of six following the 40/20 was terrible with Bobby just giving up possession. They were in front of the posts for long enough why did Campese not kick a drop goal? They would have then needed 2 converted tries instead of 2 tries and 1 conversion not to mention taking more time off the clock. Poor leadership. When Salford kicked off at 18-14 there was 53 seconds on the clock. Why on earth weren't our players told to lay on in the tackle ,by the 'captain' even though they would have been penalised? Again this would have run down the clock before Salford got anywhere near our line. Hopefully, Campese will not see out his last year he is a massive drain on resources.

Quote: Grimsby Red "I thought this forum was for rugby fans. Terry Campese has been a class above anything that this country ever produced (I include Millward in that statement). He's won all of the major trophy's down under with just one club, it didn't work out here, so what!! Still a class act.'"


Terry Campese did not win all of the trophies down under. The best he did was a NSW cap in a loss and a semi-finals victory over Penrith - I don't even know if he got more than a cap for Australia.

He had a 2 year period (2008 - 2010) were he was coming into the top of his game. This culminated with nearly winning the Dally M and then the year after playing brilliantly in leading Canberra to their first finals win in god knows how long. Unfortunately he was badly injured against Wests in that finals series and never ever recovered.

In his prime he was gifted as he was big, mobile, good passer and had a massive kick. Unfortunately due to a succession of injuries it was never to be for him. He could have been thought of as one of the greats if he could have continued on from 2010 - he didn't.

The 2 years of quality amount to a "what might have been career" and to mention him in the same breath as Milward is frankly ridiculous!

JOHNNY WHITELEY - A TRUE RUGBY LEAGUE LEGEND:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_28490.jpg



Quote: Grimsby Red "Humility is something people on here could learn from Campese, he refused a simple conversion because he didn't want to take Mal Meninga's record point score for a single NRL game. I also watched Millward et al play in a semi-professional sport akin to the bottom half of the championship these days. Campo's body let him down at the end, it comes to all great sports people, so what. He's rugby through and through and all that you lot can do is slag him off now that he's gone.
Small provincial minds from a small provincial city, shame on you all.


This from someone allegedly from Grimsby. Campese was an expensive mistake, Roger was a true star.

Campese will probably have to go down in history as one of the biggest flops to play for HKR and in terms of salary to playing time he must be the worst value player we've ever had at the club?

I know a lot of people have said he should have realised he was "done" like Weyman did, but that must be so hard for a top sportsman or woman to be able to acknowledge they can't go anymore, and that sport they've been spending all their lives playing they just can't do it now, they just can't shrug off the knocks as easily etc.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I honestly don't get the impression at all that he was just here for a holiday, for the money or whatever. I think he really wanted to come over here and play good rugby. Obviously, that hasn't worked out for anyone in the end sadly.
