It doesn't even matter if it was definitely "Free" or "For" (although Sharks fans will have you believe the latter for certain despite them not knowing any more than you or me). If it can even be potentially viewed as support for a campaign to release him it is inappropriate and should be dealt with accordingly.

What the f**k are you on about?

I'd have to give a few written warnings before I could do anything though wouldn't I

Depends i guess

I think it probably would be fair if you just brought in the rule to be lenient. If a staff member rocks up with an especially offensive tattoo like a swastika or what have you and a customer complained (doubtful in queensland) i think you would be in your rights to move that staff member on.

If the staff member had i dont know a little butterfly tattoo and it was just poking out from under the shirt and a customer complained i think a warning would suffice or a quick pal i own the bar and i will have as many butterflies tattooed to me as i like

Wow

You really showed him

He said your instead of you're

That makes your argument better
If you're (see it's not that hard) going to suggest someone is stupid and can't even use simple grammar correctly you're (I'm on fire) asking for it.

Now the fact Sharks fannies are falling over themselves to blindly stick up for the bloke who happens to play for them at the moment as if their bawling is not entirely based on their bias and not straight reason is what is truly stupid. And for such a big conservative to do it in this instance takes it to another level.

I would have thought in 2016 its okay to support anyone you like, murder,rapist,embezzler you name it. What do we do throw these guys all onto a remote island and bar them any human contact. If Fifita is not breaking any laws and is not involved in any criminal activities he should be allowed to contact and associate with anyone he likes,and you know if it helps the young offender it could be a positive. At present we have to many people telling all of us what is right and wrong and what we are and are not allowed to do

Wow

That was quite a sentence in your second paragraph
What the f**k did it mean?
Yeah nice try. This whole thread can be summed up as fans of a club stick up for player from that club. That is all. The bloke is the biggest f**kwit bogan going but Mr Conservative likes the club he currently plays for so it's okay. This time.

I have no issue with the Kangaroos not selecting players if they are seen as potentially/likely disruptive to squad culture...

But..

They have f**ked this up royally by coming out and using Fifita & Radradra as specific examples, giving the "but but but" brigade unneeded whinge ammunition. It would have been a whole lot cleaner if they'd just released a statement once the train on squads started that players would be judged/selected on character/attitude as well as ability and versatility, which should be stating the obvious.

Fifita should be seen the same as Graham, Gallen etc: unlucky to miss out, but not considered by the selectors to be one of the best 24 players to have in a Kangaroos squad, all selection criteria considered.

Nice cliche'd aussie white guy response. Tell that to Fifita who's emulating the culture though.
Is he?
Prove it.

Also
I take huge offence to that skin colour comment.
I have gone to extreme lengths to learn and understand Australia's indigenous culture.

If you want to argue it with me I will gladly show you photos and educate you.

So you believe it would be appropriate for the checkout chick at woolies to have "hitler did nothing wrong" scrawled on her arm at work ? And Woolworths would be in the wrong to take action ?

I was equally critical of the media circus lead campaign and result against Pearce

So you fail

The guy was arguing that people shouldnt dictate who we can or cant support. I just want to know where the line is with fifita supporters ?

Now i know you are just talking nonsense and would support a business taking action against joe blogs what you are defending fifita for but other posters might be arguing honestly

Bullshit. You come out of your Four Corners cave once in a blue moon and it's for this? Says a lot. 90% of what is written on this forum can be explained purely by club allegiances and this is no different. You'd be back in 4C talking political nonsense with the other handful of twats who live there if this wasn't about a Sharks player.
