Tahu

Has much been made of the knee this racist clown lashed out with last night?

He seriously is the epitomy of a contradiction ever since that Andrew Johns state of origin thing. Since that moment he has clearly just wanted to attack caucasians. But given that he's got dark skin it's impossible for him to be considered racist I guess

He's an imbecile pure and simple. Nice pass to McManus but the guy is a moron and is well past his used by date.

I'm surprised he's made the starting 17 tbh. I don't care what colour he is. He cost his team dearly and is a liability.

If he were in the line like a normal player and not trying to throw handbags the Knights most likely score and win. He's always been a merkin. Never liked him.

It was just as bad as Greg Bird's knee to the head a couple of years back .. except this time the opponent was lying on the ground ..

Referee was too soft, should have been sent.

I like how Tahu all of a sudden realized he was Maori, and played for the Maori side when it was evident he wouldn't get a look in for AUS.

Sa'u > Tahu.

A loose cannon just waiting for the right time to go off, and I mean really go off.

That was 2004 on Shane Marteene and he got 10 weeks for it. The dragons player did nothing to deserve the knee and Tahu deserves 10 weeks also.
But, the league will be soft, give him a week and its all forgiven. You basically have to kill someone to be sent off in the current day game.
I expect the usual ding dong apologists like M Johns to defend him.
Tahu should piss off back to rugby or just piss off all together.

It was a stupid thing to do but I think there is a fair overreaction going on in here

He did little more than push the player with his leg, not really striking at all

I guess it's to be expected though, it is Timana after all and he has prior form being a dickhead.

If you look closely the facial he received was a bit much. Old matey had his thumb in his eye.

Still he played Ok. Would like to see him partner up with Uate though. Wes didn't offer to much to Uate.

Tahu though was making tackle breaks and still has a good passing game. However I think its only a matter of time before he's suspended.

Good though and looked like a pack house.

The hypocrisy paraphrase timeline:

" I'd never go to Union - looks boring. "

" Union is more professional than rugby league. "

" I wanted to set an example for my kids. "

He wants to attack Caucasians...in between attacking non Caucasians. The bloke has anger issues that go beyond race.

It's just like the Hayne headbutt incident.

I don't care with how much force Tahu hit the guy with, the intention was there and that s**t needs to be stamped out of the game.

6 weeks.

F*cking liability, I hope the Knights aren't paying him much. Maybe Gids at CEO has helped an old mate out. Another grub act last night, great to see Nightingale stick up for his mate too

Meh. There wasn't much in it. But it should be a wake-up call for Bennett that he is a bit of a time bomb. One game back for the Knights and he is already losing his shit and probably costing the team the game. The Knights' discipline was very good throughout - they probably even let the Dragons off the hook around the PTB if anything - but Tahu ruined it at a crucial time. I don't know if he will get suspended or not because it's pretty hard to argue that he either kicked or kneed Prior, but it might be better for the Knights if he does.

You serious? You couldnt tell if it was a knee or a kick to the head? It was a clear knee to the head.
Even IF it was a kick it is just as bad. Tahu had priors from when he was an Eel and lost his marbles against the knights 2 yrs ago.

It's not his go
:lol: "He's not that kind of player"

Yeh he got a facial, but as Sterling said, facials have been part of the game for 100 years. Just accept it and play the ball. Never give away possession.

Buncha soft c**ks in here, he nudged the guy with his shin. Nothing in it. Should've been a penalty to Newcastle for Nightingale starting the fight.
