All good, mate...and welcome aboard!
Don't the media love to slip the boot in whenever a chance presents itself? I'd just rather we concentrate on players performances on the field, rather than judging them for their decisions (stupid or otherwise) away from the game. The media will more than cover the latter. There's not much we can do about it.
As for the on field stuff...I don't think Bryce delivers enough to deserve his spot/pay cheque.
