Christians in the team

[ryana87]

Heard mad dog say the other day that a few of the guys in the team are Christians and they used to respect that by having a group prayer before every match

just curious if any of our current players are Christians (i see ryan stig tweet bible passages every now and again)

IN B4 PERVERSE

I think I'll just leave it to Pervy to answer this one.

 

[Burwood]

A lot of the islanders boys would have to be religious you'd think.

sau and aku

Notice how many of the Bible's most famous stories were never witnessed by anyone? How convenient.

I know Faaoso and Kaafusi were since they were the 2 that used to ask Stig to pray with them before games. And yeah alot of the islander players go to church with Stig and have "prayer nights" together - Sau, Filipo, Liki, Naiqama bros and Aku all do it

Ryan Stig definitely is but that's all I know.

It doesn't seem that uncommon, there was an article about Tim Mannah (Christian) who mentioned that there are several prayer groups or w/e for the Christians in the NRL.

Not really sure of the point of this thread though... although I might have to start banging my head against a wall if they start thanking Jesus for every try/win ala some NFL players :lol:

Doesn't have a negative effect on the team so sall good.

 

[The Joker]

Yeah but is socially trendy these days to mock religous people or at least christians

Does this have any relevance to the question posed? Not a religious guy myself, but if religion has a person doing good, who are we to bust his balls.

Because, their beliefs are as stupid as those United Atheist Alliance Otters who eat on their bellies....

For good reason.

 

[Jesfery]

The players (and people in general) can believe/practice whatever the f*&k they want, given that it doesn't adversely effect anyone else and we play good Footy.

To quote Joe dirt "Is this were you want to be when jesus comes back."

 

[T.T]

i don't see how their religious beliefs could be detrimental to the team

 

[Yosh]

i don't see how their religious beliefs could be detrimental to the team

Ask the crusades

Cory Paterson ring a bell? If you believe the rumours about why he is playing Qld Cup and not first grade for the Cowboys.....

It is an observation mate. If you don't agree then fine. That is why we live in a democracy.

 

[Knightmare]

Honestly if some of the boys like to pray before a game, who cares? I mean really, it's not that big a deal and if it helps them to calm some pre-match nerves or whatever else, I can't see anything wrong with it. It's kind of funny that some people will nit-pick for an eternity over small details like this while ignoring the bigger picture.

Clearly the Knights won last night or this thread wouldn't have reached two pages...
