A true gentleman of the game, always played hard and fair.

Shut the f**k up.

The grubby player calls are unwarranted IMO. I'd like to see a few examples of where he has played like a grub in the NRL.

Apart from the punch on Bird in origin (everyone does stupid shit in that arena and it's Bird, so it's ok) he has mostly played the game clean, though in an EXTREMELY competitive manner, which would understandably get under the skin of opposition fans.

He has a massive heart to come back from as many injuries as he has and still play well enough to make rep teams consistently.

Before his injuries he was an absolute gun. Doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Bird.

You are asking me if I would CHEER and APPLAUD a player being carted off the field with a severe injury?

I know this place can get really low when it comes to Origin, I'm hardly innocent, but the performance from certain blues supporters in the last 24 hours has been an utter disgrace.

wah wah wah

you merkins have done the same thing for years.

suck it up.

You might wanna have a gander at the last two pages in the "Great NRL pictures" thread.

Geez you are just a butthurt dick.

He made the point it was a small portion of fans and not the entire NSW supporter base, you then direct him to read comments by a small portion of NSW fans. You can eat a nice hearty bucket of dick for the game last night. Have some sauce if you like :D

Tough break for Tate. Could not stand the bloke as a player but you have to respect his tenacity and will to win.

Exactly everywhere you go there are idiots, sporting clubs, workplaces, Internet. In game 3 if Bird goes down u can bet that a section of our fans will be cheering also. And they will also be dickheads.

Poor bastard. Remarkable how long his career has actually lasted given the shocking run with injuries he's had. He might make it back, but I'm not sure it'd be advisable.

For the people hanging shit on him in this thread, grow the f**k up.

Please. The majority of the booing happened while he was in the ground. He was getting cheers after that.
There was audible booing, confirmed by others in the thread.

It doesn't really bother me though. I'm just amused whenever someone tries to invoke "common sense" to justify a dumb argument.

Oh no, not others in the thread. Majority couldn't possibly be Qlders (or anti NSW) could they? :sarcasm:

He was a grub of a player, and had a major case of resting douche face which added to the hatred of him. Much like Michael Hancock.

In saying that you hate to see major injuires like that, hope he recovers ok, but he'd be mad to try and make a comeback.
