I agree with Muttley. Fittler and Daley were better 5/8's than Mundine and deserve all the accolades they get. Mundine merely raised the "What if?" question, and that same question hasn't been answered yet in boxing. Fittler was much better defensively than Mundine, had a better kicking game, had a better read of the game, and was obviously more of a team player. Fittler also had an awesome step. Mundine had a bit more pizzaz though, but thats about it. Daley was also more solid in defence, and probably had a better kicking game. He wasn't as fast or as elusive as Mundine, but could often break the tackle, etc. While Mundine was the man at St.George, Daley was close to being the man at NSW. Also, a players salary doesn't relate to how good a player they are. Just look at Souths for example. We have Joe Galovau on $350,000 per year, and he's playing in the Queensland Cup. We also pay hegarty $300,000 to rush up out of the defensive line 2 times a game and let in 8 points.
So you agree that Mundine's whining about racist selectors preventing him from playing rep games is unfounded
You must have confessed me for someone else, i have never stated/believed that Mundine didn't get picked because he was aboringinal :deal All i said is compare the number of games played by all 3 in uestion. For the record Freddy was a better player then Choc but Daley was a bit overrated playing in a great Canberra side inside big Mal and outside Stuart.
I missed the game. I was watching us getting raped by the Oilers in soccer, which was also depressing. :-(
'confessed' No, I haven't confused you with someone else, from your previous post I gather you were implying Daley only got picked to play for Australia because he was 1/4 Aboriginal, which totally blows smoke up the arse of Mundine's complaint that was the reason why he was never picked. Anyway, fair enough, but the fact remains that Mundine didn't hang around long enough to prove he ws a better 5/8 than Fittler or Daley. As far as supporting players? The same argument could be made for Mundine.:good
Adam Cuthbertson :deal What sort of Manly supporter are ya when you missed arguably the best performance by a bench front rower in the history of the game? :yep
