[QUOTE="ranger, post: 398486, member: 40555"] Its almost certainly down to his agent Nasser and Anthony Mundine. I think it helped him though. He has given up alcohol completely in line with his faith, which is not only great for his performance as an athlete but it also helps to put his previous off field dramas behind him. No more being caught putting models away in bathroom stalls (I really wish that was one of my problems) I think he has a point in some respects in that kids shouldn't grow up trying to emulate him. Going back to the Lomu analogy, its the same there, you couldn't grow up emulating him either because he had similar freakish skills. Where i think he goes wrong is saying that he has to change his game to be more in line with what a "Real" rugby player should be. Thats just stupid. If what he is doing is effective, then he should keep doing it. He is basing all his performance assessments on "what ifs". He has already come up against JDV and proven that his game can work against that caliber of player. [/QUOTE]
