    No mention of an apology for all the bulldust he has been pedalling for the past 2 years. We won't forget Flog Barrett.

    Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

    I can't think of any other journalist who riles coaches ( Leppa, Bevo ) like Barrett.
    Is there some code of honour that stops journo's pointing out the flaws of other journalists?
    I would have thought a confrontation like that would be well reported if it were player to player, or coach to coach.
    They made a drunken embrace by two of our boys ( who are best mates ) into a violent assault. Love how they get off Scott free.

    Such hypocrites.

    There is. When Bevo was on that show with Barrett and Caroline they tried their best to keep it off the table. As you said hypocrites.

    Misplaced pronoun. What I meant is, the journalists blew the Boyd and Cordy thing right out of the water, making a mountain out of a molehill. But when it involves a journalist, it all goes quiet.
    The fact Leppa had to be physically restrained is quite extreme.

    Unless it's a journo from another paper and it gives you the chance to pontificate about how you've never been so drunk that you drove your car into a pizza shop.

    It probably says more about how well hinged Leppitsch is, to be fair. Happy to take the adulation as a premiership player, but not happy to take the criticism when the dogs breakfast he had a significant hand in creating gets exposed.

    Some of his behaviour towards the media was pathetic towards the end of his tenure, and if he's having to resort to physical violence then he's an idiot.

    Yep. Barrett is a grade A flog, of that there's no doubt. But Leppa's treatment of the media only fuelled the fire underneath himself and he refuses to take any responsibility for it. Then to want to bash or be held back and be seen to want to bash a journo when you've just got your old job back at Richmond is puerile. I wonder where Dusty learned it's okay to go out in public and threaten people and need to be restrained???

    He never seemed keen on close examination of his reasons in pressers often turning the question back on the asker. They had a closed boys club up in Brisbane with Lethal minding the door and running interference.

    Barrett is a bit of a Dickie Knee, if you are old enough to remember him. Not inherently evil but extremely annoying and a bit of a mouth.
