Sharks Vs. Dragons *SPOILER*

[ningnangnong]

Only 4-0 to the Dragons, 33 minutes gone.

I've only been watching for about ten minutes. Sailor just put a great hit on Ferguson.

Sharks look up for it.

Sharks are hopeless close to the line. They've butchered it in the red zone so many times it's not funny. Only plus for them is the Dragons don't seem to be trying too hard.

 

[Je$ter]

Dragons will win comfortably but honestly, they've been shit tonight. Biggest pretenders in the comp.

I disagree. Best defence in the comp and imo are the 2nd best team behind the Bulldogs right now.

The last 4 weeks have gave me no confidence at all that they are the real deal to be honest.

Well which teams are the real deal??? They are going as well as anyone currently, 3 wins from their last 4 with their only loss being in Townsville with heap of blokes backing up after the Test and City/Country. Once they got into their groove last night they were far too good for the Sharks - who tried their guts out. They have a big mobile forward pack, clever halves and great size and speed out wide.

Gallen called micky Paea (I can't spell his name lol) a Black ****, Foxtel showed some footage of it, on the video section in website, what a deadset grub that gallen.
LOL Cronulla, all the problems they've had, now their captain makes a racist remark, that's sure going to help keeping the sponsors.

How can you tell? I've watched it a few times and I'll be buggered if I can tell what he said.

I assumed it was racist as well but for all we know he could've just said Paea's sister is a good root!

Yeah, I agree there. However for the life of me, I can't figure out why a player would go off the way he did and say that. Perhaps it was i don't think there's any evidence to what gallen said, just the reaction to go by.

Even though I hate gallen, I hope it's not blown out by the media into some huge story.

Justin Hodges wants Paul Gallen punished further for racial slur

Queensland centre Justin Hodges says Paul Gallen should face tougher punishment than a $10,000 fine for racial vilification and questioned whether he should be allowed to play next Wednesday's State of Origin opener.

“I think it should be squashed out of the game altogether. I don't think you need to bring those sort of marks into the game. I think they should be left way outside the game.

“I've never crossed it yet. It's something you want stamped out of the game forever. It's something that doesn't need to happen.

If all he's going to get is a $10K fine then that's a bit of a joke IMO.

Deserves at the very least a few weeks on the sidelines.

 

[Coxy]

What did he say?

AFAIK there was no audio of it, and Mickey Paea hasn't made a complaint.
On what basis are they even fining him?

 

[schmix]

Apparently he called him a "black ****". What the **** stands for, I don't know.

I read some bizarre article about it, which seemed to say they have no on field audio of the remark, but they do have on field audio suggesting he said it. I don't know what that means either... Maybe they have audio of Paea making the complaint?

 

[Kimlo]

Maybe the ref made a confidential complaint :P

We don't hear the initial insult during the tackle but we do hear Paea yell out "He called me such and such" from what I remember of the coverage I saw on the postgame.

I'm assuming **** = SeaWard.
