"I don't hate the Parramatta players, just the team they represent,"

Not anything new.

“It’s just Parramatta, their jersey, that yellow and blue, we can’t stand them, I can’t explain it."- Michael Jennings 2008.

Also was vocal about AFL too. Says all the right things this bloke

What a legend.

It's good to get some rivalry between teams, and not just stupid crap like "I'm going to attack your players" but actually being brought up to hate your local rivals. Great stuff.

geez, Panfers are easily brainwashed

 

[raiders fan forever]

nothing wrong with this sort of talk to spice up matches

Quick Tinks, get on the phone to him.

Come to Newy, Michael

Needs more Hayne with a rebuttal though...

Us shatkies fans love the eels and look forward to taking another 4 competition points from them

:lol: Jennings just went up like 10 notches in my book. As a Parra hater who was born and raised in Parra, I can safely say there is nowhere near enough Eels hate going around. I used to ring up my grandparents to put sh*t on Parra when they lost to Easts :lol: good times

Jennings is alright by me.

Freudian slip?

Brilliant to see a player state that he hates a rival team. We get too much canned, cliched, politcally correct crap from players these days.

Now personally I have nothing for or against either Penrith or Parramatta, but I know how good it felt as a Manchester United fan to hear Garry Neville talking about how much he hates Liverpool, and I'm sure the Panthers fans get a similar feeling from hearing Jennings bag Parra.

I love it. Keep milking that one for all it's worth.

And yeah, Jennings comments can only be good for the game. You would never see the GWS fan come out and say she hates the swans.

The game needs more trash talking like this - it fires up the fans and can create some atmosphere at the game!

Would have preferred if they saved this story for round 2 though...

 

[Vic Mackey]

Great to see. Players seem way too 'matey' with each other these days.

Even if Jennings said that about the tigers I'd love it!

 

[forward pass]

Yeah but he doesnt actually hate them - he has just been told to !!!!

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Jennings grew up in the area, and was born a Panther fan as I understand it. Most likely genuine imo.
