Skill wise maybe. What I was alluding to was ticker, the championship is tough but there are games where you can hide but not in SL where you get punished - that's the step up he has to make.

| Quote bentleberry="bentleberry"Other than 'First Dates', Miller was on the national news and breakfast shows in the run up to the Semi final'"
I know - that's why I added First Dates. The value of that kind of exposure, whether you like it or not (I don't) is huge; the ever growing population of the terminally stupid live and die by this kind of dross entertainment and, if we're to grow the game, we have to develop some of the personalities involved in it into household names - people are interested in people, hence the rise and rise of reality TV.
It's a trick we've missed time and time again, not helped by the fact that a lot of RL players are not especially articulate or interesting - the ones that are should be supported and compensated to get media agents and get themselves and, by extension, the game, talked about.

Done especially well in the NRL, where some players are household names. I love watching NRL, but have to say that off-the-field they are most impressive. Even watching from England, I'm able to watch 'Monday night with Matty Johns,' 'the Footy Show' and 'On the Couch with Sterlo' on a weekly basis during the season - and I know there are other weekly RL shows that we don't get on Premier - but it all adds up to the great game being part of antipodean popular culture..... to be applauded.

| Apologies, but I've got to disagree with most of you. I think the guy is a disgrace. Whilst most seem to want to put him in the lime light for been so brave and courageous for coming out (which I would support under different circumstances); the guy married some poor lass, had two kids with her and then decided he was gay. It is morally wrong on every level.....

The 1950's called, they want their views back.
Not everything is that black and white.

Yes you are correct something's in life are not black and white; indeed there are grey areas. Please enlighten me. What do you perceive to be the grey area in this situation?

Thanks for the suggestion. My comment still stands.... Next time I find myself stuck in a grey area, I will certainly remind myself to trawl through the Daily Mail to find a solution.

You win. I can't argue with an idiot. I don't have the experience at that level.
