Kieran Foran Officially Signs With Warriors 1 Year

[Twizzle]

I think Foran moving back home to Auckland is proving to be the right move for him....

You have the SMH and DT taking pot shots at him....

And it looks like the NZ Herald have stuck up for him...

Wouldn't have anything to do with him playing for the Warriors

Still doesn't excuse what he did.

who said anything about hiding behind gender? our game has a horrible history when it comes to the treatment of women, I'm sure you don't need me to elaborate.

no chance of removing that stigma as long as people think its ok to abuse and threaten people, regardless of gender.

Society has a horrible history when it comes to treatment of women. This is not limited to footballers. They just happen to have a job as a footballer. Similar to someone who drives a forklift, packs shelves, is an accountant etc etc

let me ask you a question and will leave it to you to answer honestly.

do you think the NRL is viewed positively in regards to this issue?

 

[taxidriver]

How? The stigma is caused by agenda, driven from people like Wilson. Why was it ok for her to day in day out give it to football players, and their families, yet now she is being treated unfairly? Is it because she's dead?

you clearly haven't read a word I said

do you think the NRL is viewed positively in regards to this issue?

Not at all. But that is the NRL's own fault by allowing those who commit offences play the game still.

Excuse what exactly?? Giving a Jurno a serve for writing hurtful stories about his family??

That's an understable reaction.

There's nothing at all to suggest that Foran knew she was dying...

What did he supposedly do that needs excusing ?

You need to try to think for yourself Taximan. Fight against the machine.

 

[Iafeta]

did you actually read the article?

are you saying it's acceptable behavior to make personal threats to someone's well being, let alone a professional male athlete to a middle aged woman?

Wilson is one of the worst journalists to ever put pen to paper, no doubt about this and I had zero respect for her in that capacity.

her deficiencies in no way condone what has been alleged

Alleged.

Publish them if that is the case. But show the full context too.

 

[JamesRustle]

Why have they made him sit out first couple of games? Is it a punishment? seems if they need another psych report they could get that now or do they think watching the first games is going to create some untoward reaction?

So Warriors can fit him under the cap, pro rata

No.

Is it completely valid? No. Of course there's some poor behaviour in this area. But as there is in normal society and other sports as well.

"But show the full context too."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The knights have a better shot at winning the 2017 GF than that happening.

 

[T-Boon]

From my experience the biggest negative women (i.e. mothers) have against NRL players is how dumb they speak. Its like cultural that you have to talk dumb.
I think the image amongst mums is tat the lads treat women well.

 

[_snafu_]

The fact that it wasn't pursued by the cops speaks volumes.

 

[JamesRustle]

I wonder what he said...

Stop soliciting me for a root ya old scrag

 

[T-Boon]

The fact that it wasn't pursued by the cops speaks volumes.

Exactly, not even an AVO? Come on.

 

[JamesRustle]

Wilson's husband is quoted in the article as describing Foran's behaviour as "threats".

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/...late-wife-rebecca-wilson-20170215-gue44d.html

Threats to his manhood don't count

"But show the full context too."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

My point exactly. I bet if these alleged texts exist, Wilsons responses will never see the light of day.

 

[soc123_au]

He just grabbed her on the pussy. Uuuuuge news

If he manhandled Hartigan then he could still be charged.

Maybe my sarcasm radar is on the blink, so apologies in advance if so.

But you cannot actually be serious with this comment can you?

If so, wow.
