I didn't watch the 60 minutes episode and never will. I have had this view from the second it happened and have said it every time it has been bought up. I don't read the papers but I do listen to BSB and Talkin Sport and heard people defending him.
I was watching the game live, I watched the whole situation unfold I heard what Smith said and did. It was disgraceful then and it is just a disgraceful now and I don't need the media to fuel my thoughts cause my thoughts are based on the evidence I personally witnessed!
It is indefensible!
Maybe if you weren't watching and you are only commenting on the media stories or what someone else said then you can have your uninformed opinion but if you were watching it and you too could see that on the field at that time that this kid will probably never walk again then I think your opinion of Smith could not be a good one.
See again the typical media, the incident happened last year, a lot of us knew what Cam Smith said then and even the commentators on the night said something similar to what Smith said.
So why 18 months later they're talking about this? And point out Cam Smith? Why not point out the commentators on the night?
Then suddenly now we've got people come out and say, oh he's a grub for saying that, cause they saw the program.
I feel sorry for Alex, it was unfortunate what happened to him, and if they needed to do a story on him it should've just been about him.
As for Cam Smith, I don't think many people would defend his comments.
Still, this whole thing doesn't change my opinion, cause I knew what he said then.
Grub? yes. cheat? yes. I mean he did his best to slow us down at Parra this year, when he purposely went up to the referee when we were trying to get a quick tap.
See if he does the same tactics against NSW tomorrow night.
