            At first when i read the article ,i thought @@@@ you Kennelly if you dont want to be here @@@@ off back to hicksville you ungreatful little cretin.I have changed my mind a little no one forced him to stay here but on reading the article fully it "sounds "as if he is glad he stayed.
            Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

              then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

                I can see where you're coming from swantastic, and was a bit taken aback myself at first, then reminded myself that rage is a not uncommon part of grieving. Sounds to me like a necessary process he had to go through. I'm glad he's still here.

                  You are joking, right?

                  Losing a parent (particularly while still quite young) is probably outweighed only by losing a child in terms of the immediate (and medium term) pain. When it happens, little else matters for a while. When it happens and you've been apart from them for a while, the difficulty is even harder.

                  The fact that he's able to talk about it publicly now suggests he's come a long way in the past year.

                    Lost many children Liz ?

                    Possibly as much experience at that as you have in teaching players how to practice a goal kicking routine.

                    Typing on tne internet does not, i repeat, does not, make you an expert.Despite the length and seriousness of the prose.

                      It's well written.

                          You should be thankful someone like liz can post something that has some thought and common sense behind it, instead of typing up mindless dribble. I agree with her 100%, what swantastic said was nothing short of heartless.

                            He was hardly 'whinging' about this country, or anything for that matter, the death of his dad may have caused him to have second thoughts about alot of things, and maybe even think irrationally sometimes also, but to say he was 'whinging' is just plain stupid. Take your ill directed 'patriotism' somewhere else, Cronulla perhaps.

                              There was a lot of hatred towards Australia for taking me away from home. The last six years of my father?s life I was away in this place. There was a lot of hatred towards Australia at the time. I?m glad I?m over that.?
                              Sounds like he hated the place to me.Hey and BTW cronulla was only a matter of time.
