It’s pretty funny though

personally I think Rapana should be suspended. I mean the dive is one thing but the Ric Flair-esque blading was beyond ridiculous. This is football! Not WWE!

I heard he carry’s a razor blade folded up in his sock to make himself bleed when trying to milk a penalty. That’s what the Broncos fans that were at the game and definitely not booing him off the field at the exact moment he was getting taken off the field were saying

Simply put, whole crowds usually don't boo off a player who was obviously pissing blood out of his scalp. It was being shown within the crowd as noted by their eyes looking up at the screen. They had seen what we had.

Usually, a crowd would empathize with the player's situation in years gone by, and clap him off when he was on a stretcher or two trainers were helping him off.

But this booing that Canberra player who has obviously in a very bad way, was not becoming of an Aussie crowd at the footie.
Short memories...

Was that the same game or series where Tate punched Greg Bird (I think it was) while he was being held to the ground by a QLD team mate? I mean, Rapana is a lunatic and plays at 'ridiculous' miles an hour. But he'd never stoop so low as to punch a defenceless player on the ground.

To be clear, me personally, I'd never boo another player from any side.

That was just an accident that happened to Rapana. Nobody was at fault.

I've been calling for helmets for years. If he was wearing a helmet he wouldn't have gotten that nasty cut, and we wouldn't have been sitting there watching blood spurt out of his head.
