Petero showing himself as everything that Stuart, Gallen and some of the others aren't.
Class.
I'm going to make the call - painful as it is, but true.
All the crap has come from the NSW part of the team. The Queenslanders, like Petero above, Heather in his embarrasment, Slater owning up to his gaffe etc, all took it on the chin.
Stuart and Gallen were utterly disgraceful and unsportsmanlike. This year, and the reson for this glorious world cup, was a celebration of 100 years of RL in Australia. Men like Raper, Churchill, Beetson, Provan and Gasnier were feted. I recall the 1978 French tour. France won the first test with a horribly biased home referee. Captain Fulton whinged. Then France won the second test again with a hopelessly biased referee, and claimed the series. Fulton congratulated them, and said the best side won. The players that forged the great heritage of that jersey did so not only with skill, but with pride and dignity.
Stuart and Gallen have f**cked it, juyst when that jumper has taken on national significance, not just NSW and QLD. And Geoff Carr, another NSWelshman, has too. "Ricky's me mate, so I'll stick by him". Then the ARL board.
Pity the ARL board didn't consist of Sterlo, Junior, Big Artie, Big Mal, Turvey and the Crow. Men of honour, not the old mates act with their heads up their arse.
NSW have been piloted by the whinging Bellamy and Stuart, with the more reasonable Muzza in between. No wonder QLD own us at origin, with sh*t attitudes like that.
