Alex McKinnon possibly Quadriplegic - Mclean guilty of dangerous throw - 7 weeks

[DB]

You would think, being a Queenslander, one of his heads would know the right thing to do.

Ok TV is over, move on people to the next nothing faux outrage topic.

That's the understatement of the century.
Pitchforks out front of Cam Smith's house as we speak!

It was a huge dog act picking up an unconscious player and is f**king stupid too.

Now your turn... Or do you still believe you have to defend him because he plays for QLD?

Not at all. What Smith did was shithouse. I was just interested if Deans theory rang true for players of his own club as well. Not all of us that are from north of the border are that one eyed they can't criticize players from their own state. f**k me, Im probably more harsh on my own players for their own stupidity on and off the field than I am of other clubs players.

If it turns out he's made no effort and that storm statement was a lie, I suspect most would wish him to be stripped.

I don't discount he was being an arrogant douche (as I stated in my previous post about it) but I'd like to see both sides of the story.

You should be a politician. Muddy the waters, dilute the truth, deflect the blame, deny the reality.

Deans theory didnt entail a player becoming paralysed so it is a completely different scenario. What part of that dont you understand ?

Just curious, but do you also think McKinnon's anger over Smith's comments was "faux outrage"?

 

[Brutus]

Will Smith be booed at Suncorp on Wednesday night?

The NSW fans will go hard that's for sure.

Paul Gallen coming out in support of Cameron smith and attacking 60 minutes and it's journalist.
sounds so much like the blind Queenslanders trying to rationalise cams actions
So Queenslanders have two options, continue to defend cam and agree with Paul Gallen.
Or disagree with Paul Gallen and criticize their captain.
Let's see their 2 heads struggle with that one

That's "paul gallen facts" not paul gallen. Its his parody account.

f**k you are stupid, did you even see the post I questioned?

'[insert name] plays for my team, so I have to defend him, because he plays for my team. A player in my team would never do that. Because it's my team.'

I simply asked what he thought of Beau Scott (which I admit I messed up and meant Justin Poore) actions in origin a few years ago as he was a Dragons player. And be answered it.My question had nothing to do with any parralel injury between the 2 players or justifying Cameron Smiths actions last year. You are reading way too far into my simple question. One of the main reasons i ask this one is because at the time there was quite a few people who didnt see the footage but only read the comments in here about it and were in denial about it until they got the chance to see it in full.

Dammit, that could of been amazing seeing Queenslanders agreeing with something Gallen says

Queenslander!!!!!!!!

As Bennett said, Smith got it wrong that night, but I think the ambush journalism by 60mins showing that footage to Alex that he had never seen was in pretty poor taste, they exploited Alex & got the reaction they wanted from him, which was one I can also understand. I don't think the Smith angle did justice to the rest of the story which was pretty moving.

Yeah the journalism was pretty shitty (and completely expected with 60 mins). I couldn't believe how many times they replayed the tackle. Was it really necessary?

Oh and the use of the Ed Sheeran song was poor form

"When your legs don't work like they used to before" :shock:

It felt pretty out of place in the story too. Guess they wanted the whole she-bang of emotions.

The one thing you take out of this whole story, without question, is that Channel 9 are maggots.

I guess Cam was spared the bagging Matt Johns and Wayne Bartrim got.

Yeah, that was f**king disgusting! What ever happened to 60 Minutes?
