I know its to be expected but I am sick of listening to all that wild wild west rubbish. Scott Fava, Richard Brown, Matt Henjak and Haig Sare have all been involved in incidents. Thats a grand total of 4 players since the Force's inception. Lets look at the hometown of where most of the gutter journalism is coming from and to be fair only look at players for the Tahs since the Force's inception.
Matt Dunning has been involved in a few minor incidents in his time. Many will forget, however, that he punched team mate Des Tuiavii and broke his nose. That was during O'Neills last reign but was anything done about that? Wycliff Palu spent time in prison for assaulting a police officer. He was in weekend detention during the 2003 World Cup. Justin Harrison was suspended and later released by the Tahs for racist comments toward a black player from the Cats. In 2006 Wendell Sailor was suspended from Rugby Union for use of cocaine. His partner in crime/stupidity, Lote Tuqiri, has a list of bad behaviour as big as Jon O'Neill's ego. A recent and most notable example is his shove in the back of Sam Norton-Knight in front of 20 odd thousand fans. Poor sportsmanship if I ever saw it. And lets not forget his little prank calling the Wallabies selectors and putting him on speaker phone.
As much as they tried to keep it hushed up Tah Wonder-Kid Kurtley Beale was caught drink-driving made worse by the fact he didn't even have a license in the first place. That could have killed someone, which would be a hell of a lot worse than anything any Force player has even done. Finally to the ex-player with more mental issues than a meeting of psychopaths anonymous, Mat Rogers. He assaulted someone at a Scottish nightclub in 2004 on top of a handful of other minor no-nos.
I'm sure the list is a lot bigger if any cover-ups were known and/or I could remember any others. The point being that in the last 3-4 years the Waratahs have been worse that the Force in terms of on-field and off-field behaviour. Mind you its very easy to see past that if you are a terrible journalist like Growden of a permanently PMSing mega-bitch like Jacquelin Magnay. But they are so wild in the Eastern States, those Wild Wild Easties.
