this remark pisses me off no ends.
Most people stuff up - be it 20 or 50. But timing, era, circumstance, outcome, cost to others etc etc etc makes all the difference. The defending of Stack compared to the hanging of Brook only a month ago makes me just want to puke. People act like Syd is a bloody gentle, harmless little lamb. He got handed a bloody chance in life, which the elite of the elite in his field. With that chance he could have been looking at being a 2 time premiership player in 6 weeks time - instead he finds himself right where he is. Its his fault, irrelevant of his age. The club and league could not have been any bloody clearer on the risk of stuffing up. I work with many 20 year olds and they all would kill for a chance like him to get ahead in life. Instead they are carrying massive schooling debts, earning next to minimum wage & still acting 10 times more profesional than he is. They are responsible, educated and empathetic. Syd just sounds like a donut tbh , who thinks the world revolves around him
