Youth has nothing to do with it, my father started taking my brother and myself to Craven Park in 1977. Stop being patronising!

| Quote Dave K.="Dave K."What a load of rubbish, there has been plenty of English halfs over the years that are better players than Campese, how had he won everything, he hasn't won the NRL GF or even played in the final, very little representative rugby, in fact he's maybe had 3/4 good seasons in his career.
Whoever gave him a long contract on the back of 6 or so good games wants sacking.'"
Got to agree with you here, Dave. I expect that will be a combination of Chester and Mike Smith up for sacking then for the illogical Campese contract extension. With Chester gone, Smith demoted to be in charge of paper clips, that probably leaves the Chairman alone to face the music or carry the can for this unfortunate Campese debacle. Still nothing ventured......etc.
Campese was a good player but not outstanding, especially in a Rovers shirt. Past his best when he signed for us and will be remembered by the Red Army as an expensive, overpaid and injury-ridden liability in the main.
Using the illogical comparison to Roger Millward proffered by Grimsby Red is a total non starter. I was a programme seller for the club when we signed Roger Millward in 1966. What the Dodger brought to us in a very short space of time was class, humility, leadership, bravery and creativity in equal spades and onwards throughout his subsequent illustrious playing career in Red and White. Only Brian Lockwood impressed me more on a personal level during this time. I never got to meet or speak to Campo, but I imagine those that have met or worked with him and Roger Millward will be more on the side of the Dodger. True legend.

Campese has won absolutely nothing and has spent most of his career near the bottom of the table with both Canberra and Rovers...i assume you had been on the port when you posted this...

| 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.

Roger Millward MBE gets over 4 stone and 10 inches from Campese yet played over 40 internationals , was an outstanding player against Australia and in"big" games generally and is universally acknowledged throughout RL , apart from yourself of course, as an all time great of the sport...
Terry won nothing, played no internationals and will not be recognised as an all time great of the game...
Terry , decent player as he could be when on the field, had the heart of a pea...Millward had the heart of a lion...the difference is profound.
I think you could do to learn a thing or 2 about the game

I can't believe a Rovers fan believe's that. Millward was one of the greatest players of all time. Campese was a good player 5 years ago.
