POST GAME [Round 1, 2024] Broncos vs Roosters

[Kaz]

Guys, I've actually had some independent confirmation that Spence is telling the truth, and a Bronco did call him an incredibly derogatory term. It's actually so bad that I've debated even writing it here. But I'm hearing he was called a... Rooster. On several occasions.

Pretty hurtful stuff, you'd have to agree.

I heard he was called a ****.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Oh well Samoa, then he can't be racist.

 

[Super Freak]

NRL counsel saying they should be favourable to Spencer. Referring to him as Spencer Luai several times and saying he's played for Tonga when he's Samoan and has never played for Tonga.

Where the **** did they find this guy?

Sounds like amateur hour from the NRL as usual.

Same place they get their refs and touchies

Specsavers?

It's looking like Leniu is only going to get 4 weeks.

 

[Strop]

If these NRL imbeciles think it is a smart move to have him available to play against the Broncos they are off their fucking heads.

I would like to think he should get 8 or more but as a footy fan I can’t fucking wait for that game. Tempers will be flaring.

Yeah, I get that too, but it will just end in injuries and suspensions. The good thing is Radley would probably get 3 years worth of time off.

I think that's exactly what they want. They're hoping the NRL media will hype up the confrontation and generate a buzz around the game, and knowing the media they will get it.

Who are these guys that are employed that are in the NRL

Hardly taking player welfare into consideration though, is it. They will want to bash the shit out of each other. Again, I agree it would be a spectacle, but I don’t want Carrigan and others out with concussions or worse.

 

[Super Freak]

You would have to be pretty damn stupid to think monkey was not a racial slur.

It's been a racial slur for black people for HUNDREDS of years. Especially for the Indigenous people in this country.

That's always a possibility though, in every game.

All I care about is us giving as good as we get. Put a fat circle around this game to finally decide if this team has some mongrel left in it.

Gyles countered: “The submission that a racial remark came from someone with dark skin makes it less significant, is wrong.

"In the Montoya case the player who the comment was made to, there was no suggestion that he was homosexual or was offended by the comment.”

 

[Foordy]

NRL asking for 8 weeks ... the Roosters are asking for 4 week ... watch the Judiciary come back with a 6 week suspension

What an odd thing to say.
