C'mon BR, there's enough Qld v. The World going on in the Quade thread without stirring up more here

Deans should hold it against him too, if he is good enough to be picked in a match day 22.
It's reckless indifference to leaving his team short of his services: surely the thinks enough of himself to regret doing that?
This is nearly as shortsighted and silly as the original incident.

Why lock the thread?
Discussion of the on field stuff has largely finished.
Then we now have a player rather naively, and perhaps lead down a garden path by a shrewd Journo looking for a headline to selectively quote, saying that he has no regrets for kneeing and headbutting an opposition player, as if that is a standard part of the game.
We have moved on to another part of the discussion.
I would like to think that we could blame the ARU HPU (JGS, NTS/BGS etc), and various academies (and "exclusive" private schools) around the place for churning out a bunch of skilled athletes who believe that they are above the game. After all they have given up the prodigious talents of QC (Quade Cooper), JOC (James O'Connor), KB (Kurtley Beale) et al.
Then Rational Jarse steps up and points out that the same factory pathway has also produced great servants of the game such as David Pocock, Liam Gill, Michael Hooper, the Fingers, etc. They were all on the "Koala Club" pathway at the same time as the other "walking headlines". It can't be the "systems" fault.
The same poor man-management of the Men in Gold and ARU that has allegedly driven QC (Quade Cooper) out of the game has also managed to produce an articulate humble loyal socially aware and responsible David Pocock.
I guess it goes to show that Paul Roos from the Sydney Swans was right.

I think Higgers realised that his G&GR thread was winding down after only 10 or so pages and decided he needed to do a bit of

What good is a 13 page thread when the current top scorer has gone well past his ton and is looking good for 150 by months end?
Especially when that subject only kneed the GOAT and escaped judiciary.
Higgers kneed, and headbutted the GOAT, was found guilty of such at judiciary, shows dusruspect for the GOAT by saying he has no regrets for those actions.
Come on Kiwis, Fire up and defend the GOAT. Higgers needs another 90 pages of posts.

Not much to say Jarsey... can't see any upside at all to his comments from his point of view.
I hope Brett Gosper invokes a review of his comments.

It doesn't look like Higgers thinks he's done much wrong. He's playing this weekend is he?

Aah the difference between being able to play rugby at an international level and the ability to think before you speak.
Am I really old or does it seem that arrogance is now seen as a virtue?
No i'll answer that, yes i'm really old

Good on him. Nothing worse than a false apology. I like the mans chutzpah
I'm sure he means it and I like that attribute in him but is it smart to publicly air this? He's not helping his chances next judiciary case, showing no remorse etc.

Grandpa Jarse used to say a few things. One of my favourites is "It's better to be thought of as a fool, than to open your mouth and remove any doubt."
I concur with ChargerWA that false apologies aren't worth much. So if you have nothing to say worth saying, then say nothing.

If that is your view, then we won't be seeing you in Parliament House, will we Charger.
