I mean is this the standard of good in the nrl ? Blake Austin is from the western suburbs and does heaps of community work but has also managed to not connect the nrl with a killer.

Anyways what time are you free for me to come over and hang the isis flag. I dont actually have a proper isis flag so i will just write out "australia should be an islamic caliphate. Al baghdadi=hero" on a big banner

Yeah, or a Swastika flag as I'm in Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.

Either flag is NOT unlawful.

 

[NrlVader]

What is poor taste? and what is good taste?

You still hurtin?

 

[Raider Azz]

Look at the feed millernose.

It'll melt your heart.

Well it's not like he's going to be sharing photos of himself abusing a junior referee, is he?

 

[NrlVader]

NRL has NO policies about "Poor Taste"

How is it defined in relation to our society?

Running around on a Sunday afternoon in budgie smugglers with a beer in hand down the street where I live is normal but you'll get locked up in Malaysia as we saw on the weekend.

How is writing support on your armband offensive? Are there any NRL directives not to do this?

All rather a reactionary process for PR by the NRL.

A total disgrace.

 

[Frank_Grimes]

How many people went around with Free Nelson Mandela signs? He was a terrorist with the ANC and instructed many attacks.

Who you support is who you support and there are no laws against so in Australia, NONE!

Since when has any potential NRL action against Fifita been about any laws? It has always been about the NRL concerned about their public image.

AF is not supporting the crime.

He is supporting his mate, a guy he coached. A social service, apart of rehabilitation.

Give him hope for redemption and to be a better person when he does his time.

We might as well have the death penalty in Australia if criminals can't be supported.

 

[Pete Cash]

He can do it on his own time. Not the nrls. You seem to be struggling with this concept.

How do you not understand that the NRL has an issue with him using their brand and their broadcaster to do it? They have an image that they are well within their rights to protect.

You speak not from a position of logic, but sentimentality and hysteria. Your point is invalid.

What if he got the thing (FKL) tattooed all the way down his other leg?

Ban him for life?

 

[NrlVader]

Unless the NRL provide education on what is POOR TASTE to the players, who knows what some may do?

Everyone's life, beliefs and education experiences are different and this must be acknowledged and respected.

That would be up to the NRL but if the stupid merkin chucked a tantrum and did that (if I were in the NRL) i would offer him two choices.

Play with it covered up

Or dont play.

 

[betcats]

I hope this NrlVader character is closely related to Fifita otherwise his obsession is quite scary.

Nope wrong. The ISIS flag is illegal under supporting terrorism laws. Its an offense to have one in your possession let alone displayed.

I can see your point. However, was there a need to deny him the CC Medal and a Kangaroos berth because of this? It was poorly dealt with by the NRL. They should spoken to him confidentially and told him it was unacceptable to have FKL on his arms. I have no problems with him supporting a mate who is probably suffering from depression. It doesn't mean he is disrespecting the family.

It's not confirmed that he was denied the CC medal because of this issue. There have always been some bizarre selections.

What would be the benefit to the NRL's image of dealing with the issue privately if it has become a public issue due to the actions of Fifita that were picked up by the media? They may as well do nothing if they are going to allow him to put them in a public situation and not do anything publicly about it.

Fafita did not get a do not associate with criminals warning for visiting loveridge.
It has been said a few times, which means he has done something more to get that kind of a warning.

Also once found out about the letters, I remember hearing that he then changed the letters, but still went out with them the next week.
The boy is a moron, with no sense of what he is doing and what he is representing when he goes out there.
I am glad he isn't on the team. I have no problem with him being left off.

It is a shame that he wasnt suspended for the last few weeks of the competition.
If the sharks had some moral fibre this would have been avoided, same goes to the NRL as well.

Geeze mate
It's not like the club chose to ignore a little pinga habit is it?
