2006 against Melbourne - Glenn Morrison denied a fair try with 20 mins to go. When he grounded the ball. Lost 12-6.

2017 against Melbourne - Forward pass on JAC 1st try lost by 2 points.

Seems we always get shafted come finals time in Melbourne. Outside of 2019 we have always been competitive against them without beating them in a final with some 50/50 going against us.
Don't forget Nathan Cayless nearly having his arm removed in one of the worst chicken wing tackles you'll see. Nothing to see there from the NRL.

In the context of sin, yes. Consent between adults is a modern, secular idea. It doesn't override the idea of sin (for those who believe in sin). Even in secular Western law there are things that consenting adults can't legally do together. You can't bang your mother or sell yourself into slavery, for example.
So you’re saying only religious people put consenting gays on the same level as paedos?
And that secularists equally want everyone to conform?

They certainly did not read the room. But the players need to take responsibility too and situations like this will arise again.

The Wallabies lost Qantas as a huge sponsor over the Izzy shit storm. Players need to understand that their actions do have an impact. Perhaps these players become less attractive to have in your roster if they are not always going to adhere to direction.
but people have different values. as long as they aren't citing hate responses, they are allowed to disagree with issues. and with the amount of religious polynesian players, good luck fielding a competitive team

I mean I on the rare occasion I mention Penrith and get grilled. But there has been 5 pages of talk about MANLY. Not our club and not our concern is it?
This needs its own thread. The Manly lgbtq+ thread perhaps. I have no idea how its even a rumour.

MODS need to do a better job. Highly dissapointed.

Oh, you want a scripture quote-a-thon ? Then I must warn you that I have seen Jesus Christ Superstar twice.

[JUDAS]
It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That a man like you could waste his time
On women of her kind

[SIMON (spoken)]
Hey, cool it man

[JUDAS]
Yes, I can understand that she amuses
But to let her kiss you, stroke your hair
That's hardly in your line

It's not that I object to her profession
But she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say
It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent
They only need a small excuse to put us all away

[JESUS]
Who are you to criticize her?
Who are you to despise her?
If your slate is clean, then you can throw stones
If your slate is not, then leave her alone!

I'm amazed that men like you
Can be so shallow, thick and slow
There is not a man among you
Who knows or cares if I come or go

Yes we know you hate religion. You seem to enjoy mocking it. But it's done plenty of good in this world. Main thing is giving people guidance and hope.
It's very easy as a privileged white male in middle to upper class world to just enjoy his life but some people are born in 3rd world countries just trying to get enough food and water to survive. Religion gives them something to beleive in.

Well those who can consent have always dictated which group of people can't. Really what's the difference between a paedophile and a bloke with a 15 year old wife? You no doubt had ancestors who gave birth even younger than that.

Plus if we don't keep these 3rd world populations going how can we sustain our 1st world lifestyles? Give them belief, let so many 1000s into our 1st world, throw them a low paying job and an uber licence and we can keep living relatively easy.

We are all f**king hypocrites ffs.

Thank you for your out of context comment.

And no doubt I had male ancestors who enjoyed having other men in him or doing female oriented things, or female ancestors who enjoyed the taste of fish or being butch as. I’m not saying there is or isn’t a difference between a paedophile and a man with a child wife, but I’m also not the one saying there’s zero difference between those two and a homo.

I never said that it is how a club should be run. What I did say is that there are plenty of big dollar corporations who would choose not no be aligned with a sporting club that does not represent their values. That's pretty obvious isn't it ?

What’s that got to do with whether gays are also second class? Are you saying 3rd world countries also hate gays and we only tolerate them in our first world?

Including St Marys

I grew up near St Mary's. It's fine. Few battlers around trying their best. Real working class.
You have to admire people who get up and do what they can to get by and many on low incomes. I have much More respect for that then some privileged educated entitled eastern suburbs that that wants to travel the world and experience new cultures. Ffs

Nobody said zero difference. The people who created these religions did so based on conscience. The people who accepted those religions and allowed them to flourish did likewise. Even today some categories of sin invoke an emotional/disgust response in many people while other categories of sin (drunkenness and gambling) are just seen as poor lifestyle choices. Religion might be used to explain the emotional response, and people like Gronk might ask But-why-are-you-eating-shellfish? But ultimately it is a matter of conscience. Just like how secular people have laws they're obsessive about and other laws they disagree with.

Melbourne are a protected club - how that grub Felicity Katfusi (deliberately spelled incorrectly) still is allowed to play regular football, is beyond me.

He is scum of the lowest order.
