I know it’s a small thing, but this says a lot about Des Hasler. Look at the respect Brendan Elliot shows as he stands up to shake his coach’s hand. It’s an act that takes less than a second but speaks volumes when you consider how tired the fullback was #NRL @SeaEagles

At the end of the day, it’s a really good jersey. I’m proud of the Sea Eagles for having the initiative and for trying to promote some wonderful ideals. I don’t even support the club but I’m happy to support this. I’m glad I can still fit into an extra, extra, extra medium. Just

You know it’s a good presser when @FOXNRL replays it immediately. Everything Trent Robinson said was right. It was emotional, yet eloquently delivered. He just wants the officials to protect his players. It’s not too much to ask for. Staggering that he’s had to ask more than once

How sad do you have to be to hope for a Storm loss next week as it is “more important than oxygen”. Says a lot. Just bandwagon for whoever you want. No need to be scarily jealous about a team’s success. Celebrating potential failure as opposed to respecting quality is an odd take
