I agree it could boil over to something physical, that’s why they should of made an example of him. The guys most likely going to be running back out on to the field again in three weeks time, that’s not good enough.
I know one thing though, the second someone puts their hands on a ref they...
Funny you say that actually because I watched the rerun of that game the other day after hearing about how good it was on the radio. it was the first game I’ve enjoyed watching in so long ! I was a bit jealous that storm supporters get to watch their team actually play footy, but enjoyed it none...
Yes it should be obvious but the levels of outrage aren’t so obvious, thats the only thing I’m questioning
NRL refs have always been ridiculously inconsistent. I feel that the continuous changing of the rules doesn’t help them or the game.
It’s actually turning life long fans of the game like...
That fine avoid my question for a third time lol
What’s the actual issue ? The ref made a bad call and some meat head can’t control his behaviour? What’s there to get at exactly?
It 100% has everything to do with the word, maybe you should ask someone with a disability or someone who has a person with a disability in their family before you make that assumption that it’s pointless outrage
You still haven’t answered my question as to why the word “retard” isn’t met with...
I’m not really interested in making excuses for the use of the word
It happened because he was frustrated about a refs call, I don’t know about you but that’s not good enough.
Why is it that it is not being treated with the same severity as it would be if he had used the other two words I...
Of course if the word “retard” was swapped for a non-discriminatory word the spot light wouldn’t be directly on him.
The fact is that he did use that word and it should be taken just as serious as if someone used the N word or a homophobic slur.
He had every right to be angry but a refs wrong...
Yeah I agree. I feel that if it was a slur against the gay community or especially at these times, the black community he would of had his contract reviewed
Has anyone seen where Addin Fonua-Blake called the Ref a f’ing retard ?.
I find it ironic that he came out and called Erin a gronk for making fun of islander names but two weeks later gets caught on the mic using words like “retard”
Seems that he cares about the feelings of 100kg+ football...
Yes we should definitely make a play for him, I was a huge fan of his while he was playing for us, he is a natural leader with massive amounts of experience
Unfortunately I’ve got to agree with you.
He’s a flop that had a couple of good seasons, he’s not a up and comer that needs time to develop or experience anymore and he can no longer hide behind that.
We’ve been through multiple 7’s and they have all copped the brunt of his laziness and poor...
