f**k OFF. 4 Nations - only 2 Sharks. Fifita not considered

[snoozer]

Good to see Jimmy and Val supporting Andrew

Andrew Fifita's Cronulla team-mate, James Maloney, says the omission of the Sharks prop from Australia's Four Nations side is a questionable call.

Prospective debutant Maloney, who played alongside Fifita in the Sharks' maiden premiership victory on Sunday, said it was risky to start punishing people before they were technically convicted of anything.

Val said he'll slap him if he leaves.

NRL, probably tell Val the slap word is a poor choice too.

Looks like we won't see Maloney wearing the great and gold on this trip then.

As I said elsewhere where's he getting a game anyway? Got Michael Morgan, Jon Thurston and Cooper Cronk ahead of him.

I'm really happy for BBQ getting the gig but the more I think of it the more I think it's a safety first, keep the premiers and fans happy, fits the squeaky clean image type selection. Yeh, MM might be the new Gidley but a squad of 24 doesn't need 4 halves.

Mansour out for Perth test. He's the only other right side winger selected. Holmes should debut and I'll freakin spew if they change Ferguson from his normal left wing position to the right.

And others find homosexuals morally offensive should we pander to them ?

Why don't you all keep your moralising to yourselves, we have laws to cover that, get back to me when a player commits a crime.

Like Fingerson?

No ones happy for prior, wadeo, gal missing out on green and gold. (apart from the club and fan perspective of injuries/fatigue/money). In that squad name 2 props that have played better than prior the last 2 months? Wadeo's been great too. Gal - what can you say. Even when busted at the end of a game he's still.doing better than 75% of the forwards in the game.

The nrl is so f**ked.
Hypocritical, ignorant, petty and stupid.


This raises an issue. They didn't go near bj and (to a lesser extent) croker because they both have injuries(they said). Apparently bj at least would've been right by 2nd game.

What's the difference between bj and mansour then?

They dont want footy players they want TV personalities. we're talking a billion dollars, the money dictates all.

Lucky to win one really, unless they thought that would rate.. wait a minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cronk and Thurston won't play against Scotland.
6 and 7 will be Morgan and Maloney

Ferguson played right side all year. Has always been a right centre
Plus Mansour is a left winger for the panthers

Kane nails the issue in one article. Although he doesn't mention Mal answering questions supporting his brother whilst on origin duty.

It is shameful that the NRL hadn't contacted Fifita privately before the squad was announced to explain their reasoning. Instead it gets leaked through the usual journos. Then on cue the QLD hypocrits come out in support of the decision.

There's been alot of support for Andrew notably Alan Jones, Miranda Devine and the guy that wrote this article.

This story makes Mal Meninga look very hypocrytical.

He's actually asking a murderer to be released from prison.

Fifita hasn't said anything about releasing Kieren Loveridge.

He is & so are the selectors.

Taulmalolo got charged just 3 weeks ago.... Is he picked?

 

[Dragon Slayer]

I'll say it again in this world it's not what you do it's who you are.

If Ennis or Fifita had thrown eggs at cars and smashed a window we would not have heard the end of it.

Taumalolo didn't get traction here in Sydney past one weekend.

But back to Fifita issue.

Reading the article in the SMH today for what they are berating Fifita for Meninga has not only done the same ( bar putting 3 letters on some arm strapping) but worse in actually pleading for a murderer to be released from prison.
