I was at the game and kept a very close eye on it after tries and half time and full time. The players definitely were not getting around him. Even when he did the big defensive play to push Campbell in goal didn’t see many people rushing to support him. And honestly, why would they. He’s currently the highest paid player on $800k. Had an offer of $1.05m which is by far the highest paid player, and still wanted more. That’s a huge **** you to people like Oates who has stayed on unders, emerging game breaking talents like Cobbo and the biggest **** you of all time to Palasia who took a shorter deal on less money to stay with us to be loyal and show thanks. Sure maybe his managers started this, but if he came out and said no it’s wrong I’m not going I’m staying then that would end it all. It’s very very clear he just wants more money.
On that Campbell tackle, neither did Riki. He got some high fives. On the sideline at full time he got some hugs.
The players were apparently shunning him by giving him high fives and pats on the back?
