He does notice. You may be unaware (not sure how old you are) but for young Australians things like this are not that weird or unusual when it's a mate doing it. It's pretty much the equivalent of patting someone on the ass these days.
Happy to be old with this information.

I would go a Liverpool kiss back.

I guess it differs from person to person. But honestly, every player in the NRL would be use to things like this. They share a locker room. Spend 20 minutes in a male sporting locker room after a game and you'll have seen just about everything you could see. The fact this is getting any kind of media attention or backlash is just stupid.

Edit: It also depends on context. If someone walks up to you on the street and randomly grabs your dick you should probably start asking questions. Someone you're mates with in the middle of a game giving a little pinch, like I said, is hardly different than getting slapped on the ass.

What - now there's a donkey involved?

Having finished high school relatively recently (about 5 years ago), can confirm this is nothing out of the ordinary for guys in high school. Ofc, not everyone has done it, but my package downstairs was probably sack-whacked or grabbed at least three times a week. Didn't enjoy it, but got used to it to the point where it was like 'meh'

Yes but that's what guys who have attended Catholic boarding school's have gone through for a long time.

All bullshit, just a little joke amongst friends who are accustomed to taking the piss, no different than Singleton and his mate winding the world up . . . the naivity of the media is embarrassing to real Aussies

The media isn't naive...they generate stories out of their arses because the public is naive enough to believe whatever they write.

Some people are waking up to it but many aren't.

You have to include presenters in the media and they present things as ridgey didge that are embarrassing . . . any wonder that some people coming to Australia think we can be taken advantage of

It's official Korbin Sims has signed with Brisbane. Not the signing the Broncos would have preferred in terms of Prop with Ryan James and Dylan Napa resigning with their respective teams. Napa was still contracted to the Roosters this year though.

It's up to Josh McGuire to put his hand up this year for Brisbane. He's admitted despite being chosen for Queensland he regressed last year.

"NEWCASTLE prop Korbin Sims is poised to quit the club to immediately join the Brisbane Broncos after securing a release from the final year of his contract at the Knights.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal Sims approached the Knights more than a week ago about his interest in linking up with former coach Wayne Bennett in Brisbane and was told the club would not stand in his way if he secured a deal.

It’s understood Sims and the Broncos agreed to terms overnight with Sims informing the Knights on Friday.

The sticking point had been Sims’ $400,000 Knights contract with coach Nathan Brown telling the front-rower the club would not be topping up any deal he signed with the Broncos to leave.

It’s understood he has agreed to take a significant pay cut this year to sign a longer term deal north of the border."

Can't wait for him to make an error in an important game.
Broncos fans aren't really forgiving of Sims'.
