Serious question - do prisoners in jail get to watch NRL?

 

[POPEYE]

Another question, if you take any notice of Fifita's irresponsible/naïve/dumb social activity or any notice of Mumbles/Webster how do you decide which is the more laughable

Depends what privileges you have and how much cork u have sucked I suppose.

 

[Pete Cash]

The thing is Andrew hasn't asked to cop any of this. He did it in his own time with no mass media coverage.

Without the media outrage which the game seems to just put up with none of this bullshit exists.

Andrew is not all that smart and ill advised sometimes but what he has gone through is punishment enough. The NRL should end this now especially with others playing who have done FAR worse and won't even be investigated.

I agree with your last paragraph but he did it on the nrls time in uniform.

He did try and do it quietly but it's all rather moot once the press put two and two together.

Hopefully players will now know to keep any controversial message off the field.

Despite good intentions it's hard not to get caught up in it, especially in the off-season, and in spite of knowing you can't change anyone else's point of view by arguing with them I've enjoyed a little poke here and there.

And then you know what my next question would be if I had got a serious answer...along the lines of 'if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one around, does it still make a noise?'
So if a message can't be received what's the point? Does that matter - if it doesn't who is the message really intended for? As you say, Irresponsible/naïve/dumb. Hard to sympathise or empathise.

Game on soon enough and irritating sidebars won't be a distraction.

Trouble is ol' mate most people get to my age before they realise not to take life so seriously . . . have a good offy and new year

And you....comes a time for all of us when every new year becomes an achievement in itself.
This one promises to be one of surprises, upheavals and revelations. I'm sure there'll be plenty of discussion to keep us all going .

Lmao

Busting out the (((todd greenberg))) stuff is so boring GW. what a boring troll you are. for a guy who makes a million accounts they all end up the same. posting nonsense about jewish conspiracies

 

[carcharias]

Poor Todd missed his chance.

No. He didn't.

He used the NRL and their broadcaster to send his message. Quite the opposite of "doing it in his own time".

 

[Uncle Kraka]

I hope the NRL come down hard on anyone with a visible Ned Kelly tattoo. How anyone can publicly support a convicted murderer is beyond me.

 

[NrlVader]

Where is it going to end?

All we get from the NRL is "grow up Andrew!" ???

I'm pretty sure Andrew is fully grown, can't get any bigger.

 

[Captain Apollo]

I'm pretty sure Andrew is fully grown, can't get any bigger.

Vertically? Probably.

Mentally or horizontally? That is still possible.

 

[Frailty]

I'm looking forward to the blanket ban on any writing on wrist tape.

How dare players have messages for themselves or to support people watching.

He should have his contract torn up with a ban to never to play again.

I tell you what, I can't wait to Russell Packer, half of souths and parramatta's teams of convicted offenders play though.

 

[Arnold]

No. He didn't.

He used the NRL and their broadcaster to send his message. Quite the opposite of "doing it in his own time".

Frank he visited the offender in his own time with no media present.

I certainly think the nrl should have final say on what messages are broadcast via their media deal.

It would be sad if a blanket ban is applied because the players are too stupid to know the difference between sending a message of support to a sick kid and sending a message of support to a killer the people of nsw hate but like I've said a million times the nrl should have every right to protect it's image.

Andrew's freedom to broadcast a message ends with the nrls right to protect it's image when using the nrls own media deal. he can certainly put a message of support for loveridge on his house or car or person when just walking the street

you seem really fixated on this bullshit.

 

[Pete Cash]

you seem really fixated on this bullshit.

Why are you even posting mate. you've quit football.

I only posted again after it got bumped to say the nrl should move on but apparently there are people who still believe footy players can force any message they like upon the nrl or that poor sad widdle loveridge sadness should be the concern of the nrl.

Both those arguments are dumb as shit
