I don't recall ever having read to the contrary. His being put upon attitude is hard to understand from the outside and that is not a media misrepresentation.Isnt this the problem with professional sport though? You have all this media coverage etc and we draw our opinions of players abd coaches from that. Like wayne bennett could be a real nice dude, and obviously is carrying a fair sausage on him to be snaggin these younger birds but all we see is him in costanza mode.
Unless you know players and coaches personally it really is hard to know for sure. I flew down from Johannesburg to Cape Town before a test a month ago with the entire All Blacks side on the flight. I shook Sonny Bill's hand, got a photo and he was actually incredibly nice. I got the impression he wouldn't be that way if he wasn't on team business though. I wouldn't have said hi if he wasn't on team business either.Flannos the same. Met him once or twice and post games etc, always happy to say gday to fans etc.

Completely agree. A lot of league players seem to be attracted to a father figure type.in a professional capacity, its really not our problem, if players wanna play for him then great
