Rugby League is "a violent game played principally by cretins"

[BuffaloRules]

Wasn't it the guys son?

Who was a junior or something? I apologise if I'm mistaken.

Was it Eddie Maguire?

Or is he just a racist?

 

[Lockyer4President!]

why do people who hate RL spend so much time on a RL forum ?

They don't hate it, in their own minds they're comedic geniuses.

Less rope BR. Less rope.

Ah yes, Lords?
The "tally ho, good shot that" brigade.
The upper crust, wealthy, dripping in diamonds, brigade.
The striped blazer, collar and tie, champagne-sipping brigade.
Seated and catered for in the lap of luxury.

Maybe if all NRL fans had the same lives they'd be a little more reserved.
Cricket is not a body contact sport.

Mind you...when 'average Joes' English cricket fans tour here, many are just plain obnoxious;
'Abusive', 'insulting', 'crude rude and vulgar';

Someone has a bad case of class envy.

I agree with the entire article.

It's undeniable. Fact, you could say.

This is quality trolling people. It's offensive and funny. Not the dirge that we have seen lately.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Let's not move the goalposts.

The majority of rapists, wifebeaters, & murderers are poor people AKA the RL demographic. This is a fact.

So it shouldn't surprise that the players reflect this with the Neanderthal behaviour.

He loses it a bit here..

How many RL fans are not also cricket fans?

There is a lack of understanding of basic sport in this article - traditional summer/winter and all that.

 

[Perth Red]

The afr seems to like to print opinion pieces designed to insult people. They recently had one about people living with dementia who they called "– mad, bad and dangerous to know." they got absolutely slammed by community groups and people diagnosed with dementia but refused to apologise. Not sure who the editor is but he/she must be a complete dck head.

Excactly, my my wife loves cricket season but once the league season starts i cant help but glass, punch, rape etc....

 

[Raiderdave]

So we have another sthn spastic having a go at RL

Lets not forget that these sthn types are delusional bubble dwelling lying hypocrites
Who follow a sport populated with drugged f'd rapists ..racists & shirt lifting pedos
They are scum
& a national embarrasment
So
Who cares wot this knob jockey thinks;-)

 

[some11]

f**k poor people, they are disgusting

We need a caste system tbh.

NRL should be renamed to Povo Drugball League.

The writer has a somewhat envy for the upper class being that he is obviously indicating a severe inferiority complex.

So to compensate for this void,this "writer" has to condemn something that is an easy target,whilst at the same time,and I'm sure,receiving plaudits and back-slaps from his own inner circle.

It's a well known journalism trait to boost ones self importance to those endeared to him,his editor,at the behest of some easy far off sport or pastime.

So anyway,whatever is bothering Joe Aston,ring up Phil Rothfield...maybe he'll calm him down.

Oh no we don't!

 

[darcy]

Hard to disagree.

So Mini, Braith, JWH, Jimmy, Mitches, etc are cretins?

 

[butchmcdick]

They don't even drive cars.

Do you play for the Titans ?

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

Pathetic article, no other code get smashed by the media like rugby league does on a annual basis. Other codes have there fair share of demons yet are kept in the closet by there media while rugby league everything is out in the open and criticized constantly. Without a doubt, rugby league media love to eat there own and bring down the code for there own gain.

Rugby league has the most negative media in all of sport.
