I can't believe people are still going on about this. Yes, Creagh should have stood his ground. But what do you think would've happened if he did? It would have been an all in brawl in the dying minutes of a game that had already been won, in a series that had already been decided. The Qlders were itching for a fight.
And, why discount the childish & girly acts of the Queenslanders in all this? They were acting like petulant schoolgirls all game, just because NSW did indeed stand up to them. In the dying minutes they received a penalty well within NSW's half and we all saw the instructions from Lockyer to hoist the ball up on the first tackle, with the one intention of bashing a NSW'man. Disgraceful. They acted like the head bitch of the school who had a cry after being slapped by the uncool kid.
Regardless of one incident that happened a few years ago, Creagh is one of the best backrowers in the game and he'll do his talking on the field. I don't think he will let NSW down, and I don't think he needs to prove anything to anyone. But for the idiots who think otherwise, he at least has this game to prove the idiots wrong.
As for the likes of Hodges, Slater, Smith, Thaiday etc it doesn't matter what they do in this or any other game, they'll still be wankers.
