    and knock them out

There is no reason for a child to call someone an ape but if the parent says it’s cool, then it’s cool. Sometimes it takes someone to speak out just like Robbo did in the presser on Friday, for an injustice to be heard. I know this issue is divisive and my opinion may be different to yours and others. It’s the reason why it should not have been mentioned in this thread as the Latrell issue is completely different.
      Agree 100% , think they could have pulled the child a parent aside in private . Wouldn't have changed the parent but perhaps the child may have learnt what she was saying actually meant . Disgusting word when used in that context .I feel there is different beats to call out racism.I know we do in our lives and family but education not division. I will leave it at that as this as others have said is supposed bro be about unity not racism .

        What do you think I was alluding to?

        My comment couldn't have been less racist if you read it closely. Both guys deserve to be booed....NOT because they are black. That's pretty clear I would think. If I said I think they should be booed BECAUSE of their skin colour then that's completely different.

        You just seem to cherrypick my comments a bit lately, and give a couple of other "characters " here the red carpet treatment. Strange considering .

        Anyway I hope this clarifies a bit and shows why I'm continuing to respond to you on this.
        I felt that you were inferring Goodes deserved to be booed because of his stance on indigenous issues and calling out racism. I’m all for calling out racism and to me silencing or decrying the calling out of racism, is denying racism and therefore wrong. So I guess it depends on why you think Goodes should be booed. Sorry if I misinterpreted your stance but coming off the back of the PP it appeared to me that is what you were alluding to.

        If I appear to be disagreeing with you on issues a lot lately then I guess that’s because we disagree on issues a lot lately and see things differently. I’m not cherry picking. If you’re going to put things out there you need to accept that not everyone will agree with you. I’ve told you before I hate racism. I always look at the big picture when looking at issues and not just pick a political side. I’m also not for opening up and letting covid rip until more people are vaccinated. These are the issues I think we disagree on?

        Also, I’d love to know which ‘characters’ I give the red carpet treatment to?

          I’d be happy if we knock them out, and lose

            No problem. Agree, it’s uniting for Joey and Robbo in response to that arrogant spoilt brat traitor that this thread should be about!

              I view Goodes as a champion who had the strength to do what was right. Latrine and his lack of character have already been well described by all.

              For whatever reason Goodes is a divisive topic in Australia. Bringing it up in a thread about unity was not a good choice.

              What about the tackle on SST? I lost my mind watching that happen.

                I'm sure that's the plan . In 2018 and 19 it was an annual event

                  My bad. It is completely different and I admire Goodes. I was conjecturing that people might equate the two once the Rooster crowd starts to boo. Maybe we need to hold up an explanatory banner: “It’s just because you’re a thug, Trell”.

                    The SST thing has been lost in all the Latrell fallout but was more appalling in its grubbiness IMHO. Nowhere near as bad as Victor’s charge down but gets zero publicity or discussion in the media!

                      I got exactly what you meant 66, which is why I said to JFC that his view appeared to be alternative.

                      • Not a big fan of booing myself.Think most of the time it makes the person doing it look bad .Just call him a fat vermin scumbag and then there can be no confusion

                          Sorry I thought Coat mentioned it. Seems we all have a little miscommunication happening.

                          We admired Latrine when he was a Rooster and race was never a consideration for us supporters. Likewise, now that we all seem to universally despise him it still has nothing to do with it.

                            Maybe we could put that to music and sing it?

                            • I feel so, so sorry for our champion Manu. Not being able to play in the finals must have him in mental agony after such a malicious unnecessary attack on his head by a lowlife who shouldn’t be playing in the NRL but a sport more suited to his aggression like boxing. The NRL has no place for violence like this.

                                Nobody's booed him and nobody's making claims of racism. Stick to the facts and embrace fellow fans rather than searching for something to polarise discussions with!

                                My biggest beef is with the refs anyway. It was a dog shot sure, but the issue is that Peranara did fark all about it. Thankfully his brother isn't in out team! (No doubt he bailed at the last minute after talking to his brother).
                                Cry me a ****ing river. What I said was very relevant and I am def no supporter of racism, I hate those that play the victim card, which you seem very familiar with. Anyone that attacks LM or did abuse Goodes regarding their race should be punished severely.. Anyone that doesn't take responsibility for their actions such as LM has done in the past deserves to be called for the dickhead they are
