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.

"Has been" was a class act ending up being a hanger on and got well paid for it. Millward had far more class and more bottle then he ever had

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.

you are a young lad or you have a bad memory he was never a patch on roger or a lot more I can think of has is said on this thread he won nothing

got to agree

wash your mouth out an insult to sir roger you must be a duller in disquise campese was a cart horse in comparison

What an utter load of tripe that post was, barring that he 'was' a good player. But to put him a class above Millward in that post is laughable!!
He is as indirectly more than anyone else to blame for our poor season.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Terry!

Be extremely carefully of the HDM spin machine

we are talking about rugby not dog racing you should have gone to specsavers

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

Are you Campeses Agent because I can't think of any reason why your saying what your saying
