No doubt that watching Inu last night was like pulling teeth and was quite painful but in my opinion we expect way too much of star players in terms of the media abilities. I am not saying that they shouldn't all do their bit to promote the game, but different personalities and characters will be predisposed to different skill sets. Its like expecting everyone in a corporate environment to be good at everything from Accounting to Marketing to Human Resource Management to PR. Some of these kids are just darn good footy players and can't express themselves verbally particularly well. Doesn't mean that they shouldn't develop those skills if they want to, but there's other options within the Parra players to represent the club on the Footy Show if Hindy can't make it. Mannah was great. I just wouldn't bother sending Inu anymore unless he really wants to develop that side of himself.
