    I think Kirky is pretty skillful at doing the Captain's media call. More skilled than his footy certainly. Happy for him to continue, he's clearly multi-skilled.

    My point is that, and its only my opinion, that Kirk was going on about Barry being a good person but what he did was unacceptable etc, as if he had done some abhorent thing, when it was only an air swing. HOnestly there are far more important things in the world to worry about and comment on. Im sure that Barry is remorseful enough - he doesnt need for it to be on TV every night with another member of the LG making a public comment about it. Let him have his weeks suspension and move on!

    That's kind of sad

    Yes, there are more important things in the world to worry about, but I doubt Kirk was asked to comment on them. As spokesperson for the team on that particular occasion, his comments were fair and articulate. How that equates to Kirky being "perfect" is a mystery. Did anyone mention his comments about Barry Hall being a good bloke?

    I heard that the person getting stuck into the team on Sat. night was C. Bolton not Brett Kirk.

    If that was the case, no-one would ever bother taking the field in Rugby Union. Too busy with mergers and acquisitions.

    Dont get me wrong - I like Kirk as a player - but I find his holier than thou moral high ground crap a bit hard to take when at the end of the day ITS JUST FOOTY!!!
    Baz's swing didnt even connect and Wakelin wasnt even hurt (well maybe his ego once he saw the replay and saw how bad his attempt at acting was). Anyone would have thought on Monday that the world was going to end when it was announced. Its just footy!

    So yesterday we had the Dalai Kirk give his 10 cents worth- who will be on the box today? Will it be Craig Bolton or Leo Barry???
    sheesh you're being a bit harsh there mate. He was approached by the media and had to say something. He couldn't have been more diplomatic.

    LOLing at the stance some of you have taken, it's astounding.

    "Yeah, I guess."
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    That reminds me of when Hillary Clinton said a while back she would nuke Iran if they attacked Israel and copped it from all and sundry. I thought at the time the interviewer must have attended the Tim Morrissey school of journalism

    Interviewer: "What would you do if Iran launched a nuclear attack against Israel?"
    Hillary: "Obliterate Iran"

    The most telling thing about "Brain Snap II" is that Hall didn't even believe he'd taken a swing at Wakelin. Roos actually had to tell him - in public - to have a look at the tape.

    In that light, Kirk telling Hall to take responsibility for what he'd done is merely stating what has to be stated.

    Not a shred of sanctimony in that; Kirk once more showing he's the true leader of the team, on and off the field.
