Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Depends on his team mates. If you're painting an accurate portrait of western Sydney degeneracy then maybe his team mates don't care. Or might even find it funny.

Or were you having a laugh and painting a Picasso instead?

If his team mates take offence it will most certainly have a detrimental effect. The fact he hasn't been dropped would suggest it hasn't.

I agree with this.

I don’t think the comments were intended to be harmful, but he was oblivious to the adverse reception they were bound to receive.

At any rate, Ivan would have preferred to be flying under the radar.

Unfortunately I suspect a lot of his player friends thought it was funny because of their own immaturity!

Ethics and winning footy games don't belong in the same sentence.
Winning footy games will always come out on top.
That's what we're all here for.

I’m not lol.

When woofy and I swore allegiance to the Wests Tigers, we surrendered any hope of prioritising winning over anything.

If the other dog grabs his toy, he puts his tail between his legs, whimpers and hides under the bed.

But he’s loyal.

That's not what Benji thinks Hahaha

If Benji was seriously interested in us winning, he’d resign.

Tough but fair.

The only reason he was never going to be dropped is he’s elite & imo the best winger in the NRL.If he was dispensable no doubt penrith would insincerely portray the club as a bastion of morality

Posts like To-o's are what you write in a group chat not what you post online. He is a f**king moron, not for saying it but to not learn to keep this shit offline. I really wish the nrl would start fining anyone who posts dumb shit online. In the long run it will benefit everyone.

From the language Too uses it appears he is completely unaware that he is encouraging certain males beliefs, that domestic violence inflicted on women is ok and that the death of at least one woman a week in Oz, thats caused by domestic violence is ok too...either Tooa can’t read and doesn’t listen to the news (he may only hear it) or as I said, he just can’t see the link between the seemingly harmless words used and deadly actions that can result from them, or in fact the belittling of woman and resulting violence inflicted on women is so ingrained in the culture he orbits and perhaps has been propagated through generations of his family that those stats don’t mean shit to him..So where’s the mandatory course, to at the very least placate the women fans of the game. Without something of that nature to at least move the dial, the NRL are indicating they don’t give a shit either..instead Toa’s ignorant words and likely consequences for a lot of adoring young male fans, can be quietly swept under the carpet because “we got finals to worry about”!!. The final series is massive money for the NRL.. you see, the panthers and Too, god help us, could win it..(tho I very much doubt it)
Go the Sharks

I’m pretty sure the panthers would have told their players many times about it, especially after Tyrone where it destroyed his NRL career.

But Brian didn’t give it a second thought.

Yes, there’s a sub group of males that find comfort in demeaning and denigrating women and Brian’s stuff just reinforces their bad views.

DV definitely has its full share of these nonces.

There’s an inference of disrespect enveloping a sense of power over the women, where none exists.

Brian had zero insight into the potential indirect social implications of his joke.

The leagues response to it is to ignore it when the rest of the community is appalled.

The Panthers fail the game yet again on this issue.

If they were serious, he should have been stood down for a match. But we can’t have that.

Our game lacks leadership as the response was to ignore and therefore to tolerate.

Too who appears to thrive on massive amounts of KFC and Coca Cola before games and prob lives on the stuff, forgets he only gets away with it coz he’s young with a hyper fast metabolism.. trust me like the rest of us, it will slow with age to a snails pace and if that “i dont give a shit” attitude prevails, he could easily be fat and then dead by 40- 45..Tongans are predisposed to all sorts of deadly diseases anyway eg type 2 diabetes .. look at Jonah Lomu

Yes, I’ve met players who are massively committed to eating right.

Ex-eel Tim Smith told me good eating habits go right into Christmas.

Discipline.

Friendly and open guy to chat with, like many players are.

The 27-year-old rarely drinks and has told Panthers management he was sober while commenting live on the awards ceremony.

Imagine posting this level of dribble while sober.

It’s very troubling to see a young person with very few brain cells left, writhing around in a bed, waiting to get old and die.

Courtesy of a bad batch of illicit drugs.

Once you see it, you don’t forget it.

All you young tiger cubs out there reading, trust me, don’t go near the gear.

Sticking your head in a rotating cement mixer for an hour is better for you.

Well, it’s pretty common.

Pay some lip service and move forward.

Tedesco racially vilifying a young girl, doesn’t apologise and retains the Australian captaincy. That’s as weak as it gets. I’m glad the big headed dumb prick left us.

And more to come.

I can cop Taylan because he pulled himself up first and the effort has been ongoing.

Yea but this is an unpardonable offence..noones ever got that punishment. they’ve all been booted out. That’s called bending over backwards to ensure he stays

It’s pretty bad, yes.

Suicide tops the charts….thats so f**ked up too.

To be honest I haven't read enough to know exactly what he’s done but from the limited stuff I have read the inferences and context are like beyond you get another chance..Compare it to how May was treated..They’ve invented a punishment for Radley so he can stay
