The Canberra Times is taking an astonishingly sympathetic line to Raider’s mindless thug hooker Simon Woolford’s latest tangle with the judiciary.
It seem’s there’s a “curse” to blame for the seemingly endless run of suspensions and not an overly agressive tackling style trying to compensate for a lack of talent.
“Some players get cursed with injury [but] I’m being cursed with my tackling technique at the moment.”
Also this corker:
“I don’t know, the more I think about it the more I get in strife so I don’t know what to do really.”
