well i saw him play for Wee Waa against West Tamworth Lions on the weekend and Wee Waa won, greatly because of the efforts of Jamie, who played 5/8, kicked in general play (and did it very well, both long and short) and kicked goals and generally ran the team effectively
he did not however, swagger around the field with a badge on his chest saying "i am the man and i played NRL and i have a big contract with an English club"
nor did he bag other players for making mistakes or act superior to his team mates or the opposition
therefore, he carried himslef with dignity, even when he took a bad and late high shot near the end of the game (when the game was well and truely over) and even through the barrage of uninformed and undignified comments from the crowd
so, even though he handled his association with Parramatta poorly (in the end) it was clear he was enjoying himself in a much lesser football environment and still has a great deal of passion for the game at any level
something that the Parramatta club still needs to look strongly at and ask themselves, what escatly did go wrong and why did he leave and how can we avoid such dissapointments in the future???????
anyway, he and Wee Waa are now in the Group 4 Grand Final and he may win one after all before he goes to the ESL
and he may have an interesting "stay" over there from some things i heard at the game concerning his possible movements...............?????????
