        I think a few of the indigenous players have found it hard to cope with the big smoke.

          Harbrow and Ward are the Doggies, Stolen Generation.

              Harbrow's family comes from not only Cairns but Moroopna as well.

                  Graham Cornes had a big Sookie lala after his one year at North.
                  They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    Does that make them different from white players from the country who have found it hard to cope with the big smoke?

                      Yes, mainly due to cultural differences. Should not be under estimated.

                        Liam Jurrah, sitting in a cell with many members of his extended family, says yes.
                        For Zeph Skinner and many others, English is not their first language. Add that to weather, and a myriad of cultural complexities, you would have to say it's a bit tougher.

                            Can either of those places be classified as the 'big smoke'?

                                Most of Brendan Goddard's family are in jail.

                                It seems a bit ridiculous to be potting white kids for being Mummy's boy's but giving everyone else a leave pass. Especially when no one knows the real cultural background of any of them.
