Get Over Yourself Lomu

Get over yourself Lomu. Once again NewZealand's
biggest ego cant get over the fact that it's not 1995
 anymore and there may be others that are in the
spotlight more than him.

Yes you have to say congrats to anyone who
 overcomes an serious serious illness, and you
have to say congrats to anyone who spends time
 raising money for charity.

What you don't say congrats to, is someone who
 despite being retired for around 10 ten years always
 making sure his name is in the spotlight and always
 trying to come across as the nice and humble
guy.

Lomu has spent his whole career in the media
 playing humble and sweet trying to make out that
is the gentle giant of New Zealand sport, and
trying to make out that his rivials for media attention are the
 bad guys.

If Lomu was really such a nice guy, he wouldnt gone
 to the media, bitching that SWB wont fight him.

But as usual the media in this country from
the likes  of Craig Stanaway and Brendon Telfer
 takes Lomu's side.

Here is my advice to Lomu, its the rugby
world cup, let  SBW take the spotlight.

Also dutring next years Olympic's we dont have to hear
 stories about you, we dont have to hear what you
 are doing, we dont have to hear how you could
of made it in basketball, soccer, track and field
 and boxing, we dont have to hear from you
Mr Lomu and we certainely don't have to hear
 from every journalist in this country about what a
 great guy you are and how you don't like media
attention, for the last 15 years that has proven not to be the
case.
