Gee, I'm surprised to see Luke Burt getting a few votes... Not an Eels fan, but I don't see a whole lot that you COULD hate about him, he just seems like a tradesman who tries to do his job well to me. Doesn't seem to be mouthy or dirty, from what I can see. But he might be different in real life, I've never met him. Same goes for Tongue, I find it hard to put his name and "hate" in the same sentence, but each to their own... A few players I don't like, in no particular order:
Thaiday, obviously! As has been said a number of times, Perrennial 3rd man in!
Thurston. That annoying little smirk and stupid laugh he's got is just frustrating for me! And I do think he's been over-rated quite heavily in the media. And the bastard always seems to sink my bets, whether I'm backing WITH or AGAINST his damn team!!!
Jamie Lyon. A bit unfair, because he doesn't actually DO a lot that really bugs me ON the field, but just the fact that every time theres a rep team, especially NSW, he seems to be about the first centre considered nearly EVERY time, and I really can't see the attraction! In the mix wi 8-10 others? Sure! Put some people in the media/commentary seem to fall all over him like every OTHER player under any consideration for his spot is warmed up horse crap! WHAT am I missing??? I also used to dislike Watmough for the same reason, and the fact he seems to think its his JOB to do something stupid to cost his team, especially at rep level. But I've come to the conclusion looking at him now that he's just too stupid to know better! The lights are on but no body's home...
Cam Smith: Everyone likes to have a go at Ennis for being a grub, but I'm of the opinion that Cam Smith does just as much, if not more, outside the rules to get his team the win, but most people hardly bat an eyelid!
Robbie Farah: Pretty Much the same as Smith, and I find him whiney to boot...
Gidley: Pretty much same as Lyon. I'll be umming and ahhing in my head about whether or not he should be in a rep SQUAD, and then I hear and read about a big push for him to CAPTAIN said side! Again, I must be missing something, I don't even think he was the best player in his FAMILY!
Timana Tahu: MASSIVE whinger, I actually don't think he REALISES he plays TACKLE footy, because he seems to get offended EVERY damn time he gets taken to the ground! Also the way he's stuffed Parra and NSW around in recent years, just seems to like attention, as long as its not from a tackler!
Chris Sandow: Poster-child for "small man's syndrome"! And attitude in spades! Honestly, win something meaningful or get a rep jumper, THEN try telling people how great you are!
Jamie Soward: Another victim of "small man's syndrome", and that BLOODY chicken strut he does before his damn goal kicks irks me no end! And as we saw in the second half of Origin 3, its NOT LIKE HE NEEDS IT!!! JUST KICK THE DAMN BALL, and you can go on Dancing with the Stars later!!!
