[Chins get the wins]

Luai could play like Priddis in 2003 and there is no way that the powers that be would give him the CC.

Like Fifita.

A team mate who wins could call him up and hand it to him haha

Do you think it's possible you're just a bit more sensitive and see personal attacks when they don't really exist at all...?

Food for thought.

I think I'll have to agree to disagree with you on that one.

It is possible to be critical (and even very critical) of a players performance without 'bagging him out' or getting personal.

Kemp manages to do this well. At times he is highly critical of players's performances without crossing that line into abuse.

I find this podcast perhaps one of the most in depth and detailed de constructs of the previous weekends games.

Things like the delusion that Latrell is a fullback are hard to take seriously

You see they only have the one to share between them all.

Beat me to it! I think they share Tallis brain - obviously been knocked around some.

The funny thing about Luai is that the Cobbo/Origin incident aside, he generally does tread the line in game pretty well. He agitates and pushes the envelope, but rarely gets it wrong. Part of his role is to be a pest, on and off the field, and he generally does it damn well. I wouldn't be surprised if he does end up in media at the end of his career, like Ennis. He's a lot smarter than the average NRL player. The Australian public has a habit of warming to characters like this as they settle down a bit (Hewitt, Kyrgios, Ennis are a few examples).

No chance he goes into the mainstream media scene with the wannabe gangster vibe.

 

[Iamback]

A Luai CC Medal speech would be a laugh

The tears it would cause.. would feed Luai for years

Mundine is still hated, Luai will be in that boat

 

[Iamback]

Yeah I'll only tune in if I know they are going to cry about us

So never then?

We blacklisted News Limited a few years ago.

SMH gets all the exclusives now, That would be burning guys like Hooper up

Correct.

Take the Peachey stuff earlier in the year.

His form since leaving us was horrible, so people questioned his place in the team.

None was an attack on Peachey the person, all on Peachey the player

and his way way under of players contracts, is always a laugh

Had a look this week knowing about the Luai tackle. I do actually think he deserved a week

 

[jane the pain]

Luai is a funny dickhead. Just facts

Very respectful too. A few months back, I saw Luai giving assistance to a wheelchair bound young lady, most people wouldn't help her.

Yeah definitely more than 1 side to the man

 

[jane the pain]

Yeah definitely more than 1 side to the man

Also I've never had any issues with his personna. I don't get the hate?

 

[Black Diamond]

Even Peachy the player didn't deserve some of the crap dishes out on here

 

[Iamback]

He was playing reserve grade for the team that won the spoon, That deserves crap

Not on what we have seen this year, seems unless it is a hard tackle. No suspension not even sure there was head contact, Was a shoulder charge though

 

[soc123_au]

Tall poppy syndrome. And the wannabe Gangsta thing.

I get that he isn't everyones cup of tea, but the hate is way overblown. Apart from an off colour wedding speech he hasn't really done anything remotely bad off field that I can recall.

He was playing in our premiership team this year when he copped crap.

Comments like:
"Peach is shit"
"Peachy should never play in our team again"
"Hope Ivan picks anyone else but Peachy"

This comments and many similar comments were made in the last few months on this supporters forum.

Peachy is playing well here because he is back in the environment he loves. He never wanted to leave Panthers and always wanted to come back.

Those comments were totally unnecessary.

Thanks Black Diamond, for bringing this up.
The above comments, are the type of comments that just get under my skin.

Call me a fat old disabled fuddy duddy......but these comments were thrown around before Peach had even kicked a ball in anger.

He came back here on a greatly reduced contract and produced. Done whatever was asked of him.

What I like about Denan Kemp's podcast is he steps away from that type of 'bagging' too.

I find his podcast a good listen and watch.
