It's the problem with telling whoppers... the truth is always out there somewhere. Unfortunately for our comrade, I just happen to live in Canberra and remember all the hype behind both Cornish brothers. The Raiders chose Anthony Milford over Tyler Cornish and many fans were royally p!ssed off about it [having to lose yet another talented junior during some pretty dark days]. While Mitch was always the better organising half, Tyler was a better ball runner (like Milf) and the Raiders were sick of other clubs poaching their talented young locals. Milf was a wildcard at the time (behavioural/attitude issues) and what is known today about the development of all 3 was not known back then.
FWIW this laughable situation reminds me of when Christopher Monckton participated in a climate change debate in Sydney. He kept paraphrasing a professor who supposedly agreed with him. The professor's title was 'Dr' so he assumed they were a man and kept saying 'he agrees with me 100%'. The next speaker then pulled our a recording of a conversation with the professor... they were female and said Monckton was talking absolute shyt3.
Something sweet about catching out an arrogant twit who appeals to authority when their argument fails on its merits.
