FOZ and DCE
RL is a tough gutsy game and while fans enjoy many facets, attack, skill , athleticism , the toughness and test of character which is a HUUUGE part, keep those remotes tuned in and the turnstiles clicking
Its one of those things that natural ability and genes just doesn't bring to the table. Its the extra mile , the 10% often quoted in the 110% men in our game , and its impact is enormous.
foran epitomised this characteristic, where DCE , even amongst his own fan base left many people questioning his will and his heart. Not necessarily his competitiveness, but his desire to put his body on the line for the team. You dont play professional sport and play in the same team and just miss that, while icing your torso , a testicle, 4 toes wearing a neckbrace
Footy player respect was on show at the titans while the DCE show is full of superlatives and high fives
DCE has long taken shortcuts in the physical department despite his fitness, energy and durability . His choice, good luck to him , but for many the chasm between the 2 players is enormous in this area, where foz is Team first, all in, follow me and can you pick up my collar bone i dropped on halfway before i give you a saloon passage to score
DCE will be the winner overall, as most footy players body take too much if we really think about it but you cant have your legacy cake and eat it
DCE will Always be a pretty boy to me, who tried hard at some things and had all the skills , but as meatloaf used to say
I would do anything for love, but i wont do that ! will always be my memory
My memory of Foz is exactly the opposite
