read this thread and see where people are concerned about the image of the game.

There have been several posts up to this point on the thread saying Stuart's behaviour is unacceptable in his role.

You have a habit of simply making things up to suit whatever you're saying.

No, it doesn't.

This is you making things up again, and hoping people won't notice. It's a strange tactic, particularly as people can simply read the thread.

I find it highly amusing and as a fan of a dismal England showing any chance to laugh at the Aussies is most welcome! We laughed at the final performance on the field and laughed even harder at the coach that was being touted by the media as Australias coach forever when he acted like a little girl. Oh such joy and mirth! He who laughs last laughs loudest and all that!

Good riddance. I had a lot of respect for the man as a coach before his outburst. In fact I was very impressed how calm and relaxed he was during the press conference after the final, but now I couldn't care less as long as he doesn't coach representative level again.

Worried is not the word however I am always happy to see anyone who thinks that abusing match officials is OK get their just deserts. I'd hate to think that you were condoning his actions but then again maybe it's just a case of standards.

Do the same thing in most other jobs, and you would be dismissed. Do the same thing in a profession heavily exposed to the the media as RL is in Australia then instant dismissal.

Stuart needed his arm twisted considerably to "resign", should have been suspended for coaching in the NRL for his actions.

So what exactly was attacking the referee and his boss in the hotel reception if it wasn't sour grapes. It has nothing to do with England it has everything to do with this man's actions and his abuse of the officials. The man is an absolute disgrace and has brought the good name of our sport and the Australian team into disrepute.

Anyone condoning such behaviour is no better than he is and that really is bad form.

We can both quote, dally.

The difference is I've pointed out that some people don't think Stuart's actions are acceptable, regardless of who he coaches.

ive provided examples of gloating which you said didnt happen.

so my points stand.

i dont think any england fan is in a position to gloat.
