Why is their no outrage at Aaron Payne representing the club at the captain's call?
He's not the captain.
Can anybody else remember the hiding Freddie Fittler took when he didn't go and the club sent Ricketson. This forum went off. The Telegraph attacked the club.
Where is the outrage now?
Moron.
So monday the captains have to have their media $hit done at the SFS, so more than likely Thurston would have had to have flown down Sunday night for the monday morning crap, then hang around til tuesday night for the Dally M's, and then get back to townsville wednesday midday or there abouts?? U honestly think the cowboys would let their best player/halfback/captain be away from training and so forth for nearly 4 days in a row at finals time??? It was done to share the burden of absence.
Who gives a $hit if he wasn't there to get his photo taken, Let's get real pedantic eh?? was lockyer there for brisbane??? No but Petro was, but remember he doesn't stay on the field the whole game, so brisbane are going to have to send down yet another player as well who takes over when Petro isn't there and so on. You are whinging about sweet F A. Payney is also in the NRL ad that has been playing all year lifting the trophy up, I bet you didn't notice, but the same thing applies WHO CARES!!!!. As long as their is someone down there to represent the team, that's all that matters.
