I'm a big Campo fan, but he was nothing on those blokes.






If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas

Thanks very much terry for nothing and a safe journey home,hoping you dont pick up an injury in flight. :lol: :lol:

I can't believe a Rovers fan believe's that. Millward was one of the greatest players of all time. Campese was a good player 5 years ago.

Terry Campese did not win all of the trophies down under. The best he did was a NSW cap in a loss and a semi-finals victory over Penrith - I don't even know if he got more than a cap for Australia.

He had a 2 year period (2008 - 2010) were he was coming into the top of his game. This culminated with nearly winning the Dally M and then the year after playing brilliantly in leading Canberra to their first finals win in god knows how long. Unfortunately he was badly injured against Wests in that finals series and never ever recovered.

In his prime he was gifted as he was big, mobile, good passer and had a massive kick. Unfortunately due to a succession of injuries it was never to be for him. He could have been thought of as one of the greats if he could have continued on from 2010 - he didn't.

The 2 years of quality amount to a "what might have been career" and to mention him in the same breath as Milward is frankly ridiculous!

This from someone allegedly from Grimsby. Campese was an expensive mistake, Roger was a true star.

Campese will probably have to go down in history as one of the biggest flops to play for HKR and in terms of salary to playing time he must be the worst value player we've ever had at the club?

I know a lot of people have said he should have realised he was "done" like Weyman did, but that must be so hard for a top sportsman or woman to be able to acknowledge they can't go anymore, and that sport they've been spending all their lives playing they just can't do it now, they just can't shrug off the knocks as easily etc.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I honestly don't get the impression at all that he was just here for a holiday, for the money or whatever. I think he really wanted to come over here and play good rugby. Obviously, that hasn't worked out for anyone in the end sadly.
