[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 583797, member: 20605"] Of course, Bryce has retired, and that helps quite a bit!!. Matey, I think kiwi crowds see this as a way to assist their team. It gives them a point of focus in that, if they can put this player off, the better the chance they have of their team winning. Quade Cooper's whole demeanour; his apparent arrogance, his sniping at McCaw, his 'toxic" comments regarding Robbie Deans and the ARU coaching setup, even his dubious honesty with regard to the burglary charges against him; they all add up to a target on his back, making him easy for people to dislike, and dislike him they do. I think this whole thing has taken on a bit of a life of its own now, because it appears to work. Kiwi rugby fans have great respect for a quite a number of Wallaby players... Stephen Moore, George Smith, Will Genia, James Horwill, Berrick Barnes, David Pocock etc, and that is because those players have earned our respect. However, you'll find their respect for Quade Cooper is nearly indistinguishable from zero! If he wants respect, he'll have to earn it too, and I have seen nothing from him that indicates he deserves it. [/QUOTE]
