He's great yeah we get that...but Ive never seen such an ongoing display of adulation and affection by the sports broadcasters and print media for one individual.

It's way way over the top....too much already!

Stop it now.

[rented tracksuit]

Even JT says he’s over it all.

[Hawkeye]

We had his final Allianz game farewell. There was his final game in Sydney v the Sharks, there was final home game in Townsville, then tonight there was his final game...that was his final final farewell game. He's had more farewell performances than John Farnham !

happy the wankfest is over

[Tommy Smith]

It's just a reflection of our contemporary society. Everything is either "the greatest thing ever" or "the worst thing ever".

The media are addicted to outrage and adulation.

That being said congrats to JT on a legendary career. One of the 5 or 6 best players I've ever seen.

Cam Smith wankfest next year.

[OMR]

We have our own JT, goes by the name of Teddy!!!!!

Can’t we discuss the Coffs Harbour cover up........Lest we forget

[The Axe]

I admire how he changed his life and his obvious football skills.

i do not admire Coffs stories. Another nrl potential cover up

Can’t we discuss the Coffs Harbour cover up........Lest we forget

I was just thinking the same thing

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

I think JT was a great player. In the top 5 that I've seen.... but they wouldn't have made such a big song and dance if it was a New South Wales player who was hanging up the boots.

Gotta keep the inbred cousins north of the border happy

Don’t think there was any cover up at Coffs. The opposite actually. The media blew it up out of all proportion, there were independent witnesses who gave evidence that nothing illegal happened.

Not to mention that that was actually his second, er, indiscretion. Canterbury released him to try to clean up their image. That says a lot.

Steve Folkes must have been the dumbest coach ever to let go of a player that everyone else knew would be the best player for the next decade.

[Water boy]

Cam Smith wankfest next year.

that will be the most nauseating wankfest in the history of sports. I dont remember anywhere near this much adulation when Maninga, Joey, Freddy, Locky, or any other great player in history when they retired.
