Hardly. Kaz was calling Stuart a liar, when in actual fact it was Kaz's memory that was wrong.

Technically they're both wrong, but Kaz was closer to the truth than Stuart. Stuart was talking out of his arse.
Not that this matters at all anyway [icon_lol1.

But he's 100% correct on this occasion. And I can only imagine what the crowd's mood would've been when they'd found out about Wally's retirement 10 minutes before the game. If anything, I'd say they were probably MORE emotional and fired up than Darren's supporters will be next Wednesday, having had a few months to actually come to terms with it.
It's a completely valid point by Stuart, and if anyone's clutching at straws in this thread, it's Kaz in her attempts to find something to ridicule him over.

How the **** is he 100% correct? He's implying that because it was Lewis' last game, the Maroons had an unfair advantage across the board as everyone was so pumped for Wallys farewell. But that wasn't common knowledge until just before kickoff. Really, the build up to the game would have been hardly any different to any other origin game. He's talking out of his arse, trying to buy sympathy for the Blues.
Coxy said:Exactly. so it's nothing like it. And thus Stuart's making a fuss about nothing.
Just like we knew it was Fittler's last Origin in 2004.

Wasn't Game 3 in 2001 supposed to be Fittlers last Origin? Then Alfie came back from England and proverbially pissed all over Freddys face.
mrslong said:I Loved it when Freddy cried when he lost at his first "farewell".
Then he had to come back in 2004 and win

But he will be remembered for his 1 swan song game. [icon_evillaugh
Lucky they won in 2004 or Freddy would still be playing his swan song game. [icon_lol1.

Not according to the article you yourself quoted at the start of this thread. Have you got another link?
At the team announcement, Stuart claimed Queenslanders would go out of their way to disrupt the Blues preparation, from the time the team arrived in Brisbane next Monday until kick-off.
He compared it to the farewell for Maroons legend Wally Lewis in 1991 when Stuart was the Blues halfback.
"We will be disrupted everywhere we go, in regards to grounds, buses, the whole lot," he said.
"It happened to me in 1991. I was a player, the series was one-all, we went to Brisbane and it was Wally Lewis's last game and the whole environment changed.
"It was all about Wally as it's going to be about Darren. Every extra hurdle is going to be thrown at us when we get to Brisbane. So these disruptions (the injuries and NRL match) are going to be minor compared with what is confronting us when we go to Brisbane.

So the article Kaz linked didn't have Stuart's full quote, so here it is for you:

He is clearly insinuating everyone in Qld was involved in some kind of conspiracy all week to go the extra mile to disrupt the Blues BECAUSE is was Wally's last game. Clearly that was not true as no-one knew in the lead up.
But hey if he needs to do that in order to generate some passion / fire up his troops then go your hardest Ricky.
