First of all I think it should've been mandatory for him to turn up sunday I mean he is paid around half a million a year. Missing training no problems he is injured and needs to rehab.
But pretty simple it shows what sort of team mate he is. From all the games I seen on the weekend any origin player that didn't play were in the stands or in the box watching their team. Shows the culture the club has.
It probably should have been mandatory - but the coach gave him the day off. You can't give him the day off and put restrictions on it.
It's easy to say that it's a reflection of his attitude when we're struggling because everyone is in hysteria mode, but I hardly think a bloke enjoying a well-earned rest while his team got belted (which would have happened regardless of whether he was present at the game or not) is a big issue or symptomatic of deep cultural issues at the club (though I do think we have problems in that department myself).
