It’s something many have suspected for a long time.
Whether it’s sheer arrogance, screwing over of other coaches, drunken ramblings or refusing to accept a players talents.
The Adelaide Attitude are the most hated team in the ASRL.
And now it’s official.
After many years of toiling behind Micky j's despised mob, Macks men have taken out top spot according to a fans poll.
Topping the poll with 68 per cent, the Attitude lead the way.
The Orcas sit in second (15 per cent) followed by the Crusade (14 per cent) and finally Darwin (11 per cent).
And for ASRL journalist Big Balls Bill — in a week in which the Attitude skipper came out firing against the media criticism — it’s easy to see why.
“The one thing about rugby league fans is, I tend to think they have a pretty good bulls*** detector,” said Big Balls
“People say it’s jealousy, people have always congratulated Adelaide for the success they’ve had. But in recent years, the Adelaide on the field is different to the one off the field.
“They don't own who they are. And for the same reason with the coach, he doesn’t own who he is. Everybody admires Sam Burgess from Auckland because he puts his hand up for what he is and what he does.
“He doesn’t pretend to be something on the field, he’s not off the field.
“He gets into them on the field, and he walks off the field and he owns it.”
