Rumours and Stuff

[AnonymousLurker]

Back to footy, you f**king wankers!

What do you think of Tui K from Melbourne? From memory he is unsigned and he is a Parra junior isn’t he?

He looks very good tonight! What a specimen.

I would rather Kerr from dolphins

SHOOSH
The dogs are barking about one particular NRL club chairman and his out-of-control ego. This man has such a high opinion of himself and thinks he knows everything yet is not in the same league as heavyweights like Nick Politis, Nick Papas, Matt Tripp, Blake Solly or Don Furner.
SHOOSH
Which league hack copped a spray from a player agent this week over his coverage of the Tallyn Da Silva departure from the Wests Tigers.

FELEDY WINGS IT
Wests Tigers have lost another outstanding youngster - 20-year-old centre Josh Feledy.
Feledy is returning home to Manly where he captained the side’s 2021 Harold Matts team to a grand final win. That year he scored 19 tries in nine games.
That Manly team also had Lehi Hopoate at fullback and the Fainu brothers, Samuela and Latu.

What’s the Buzz: Jack de Belin hails Flanagan critic as a man of the people​

The Dragons complained to the NRL about one fan’s abuse of Kyle and Shane Flanagan. Jack de Belin went up to him and called him a ‘man of the people’, writes Phil Rothfield.

The St George-Illawarra Dragons recently lodged a complaint with the NRL integrity unit over the social media abuse of Shane and Kyle Flanagan.
So you can imagine how ordinary it looked when departing forward Jack de Belin approached – and embraced – the abuser on the fence in Wollongong after last weekend’s win over the Parramatta Eels.
There is now a video doing the rounds as De Belin says to the supporter: “You’re the man of the people.”
Really? A man of the people?
A man who has been smashing his coach and his teammate for weeks with shocking abuse.
Two weeks ago, the Dragons lodged an official complaint with the NRL.
As a result, 25-year-old apprentice carpenter and content creator Jean-Claude Bitar had his Instagram account shut down.
Now he’s back up and running again.

So we approached new Dragons chief executive Tim Watsford to get his thoughts.
Surprisingly he didn’t see too much wrong with it.
Or maybe it was more a case of him not wanting to throw more fuel on the fire around De Belin’s departure and the constant commentary around his coach and halfback.
“It was an emotional week for Jack and we love Jack’s passion for the club and fans and he will no doubt share interactions like this with many of our supporters after every game for the rest of this year,” he said.
In fairness, de Belin’s manager Steve Gillis said his player was not on social media and wasn’t aware that he was the person who had abused the Dragons.
We contacted Bitar but he declined to comment.
He had previously told news.com.au that the NRL should be focusing on “bigger issues of the game” and vowed he “will not be silenced”.
“They’re taking away the voice of a fanatic fan who spends his hard-earned money to support the club through thick and thin. I’ve been here for over 20 years and I never miss a game.”

I'm unsure. I just felt a bit dirty when id have one night stands. Once or twice I went to a cat house and I felt very ashamed about it.

It's because that stuff is bad for you and bad for the women/men involved. The 'benefits' are fleeting but the costs and risks are long term. People should be ashamed of promiscuity if it helps them not do it.

Ok. but I should say firstly that the FB posts have been deleted. Someone on one of the fan pages, a female, posted that they had a queen hotel room in Parra after the Parra game should anyone want to share with them. The comments section went off. In all directions. Post was then deleted and replaced with a clarifying post which just made things worse. I’m pretty sure it was someone on here that told her to be more careful than to offer things like that to ransoms on Facebook. It was all pretty strange. More than usual anyway.

I think the Dragons are going to be the worse run club in the NRL for years..

Whinging about a fans Instagram post..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Let me be clear. I cannot STAND Nelson from the Storm.

But. If. And just, if. He played for us, starting as rampaging #10, f**k me i think k he’d be amazing for us and f**k me I’d love him!

Ok. I feel uncomfortable too after saying that but admit it, he knows Ryles and could earn a shitload with us.

He's still pretty good, and not yet 30 (unlike Kamikamica), but NAS isn't an elite middle forward like Haas or Fa'asuamaleaui or even Tapine. You wouldn't want to pay him a shitload.

Those are nationalities, not religions.

Ukrainians have the same religion as Russians. It's not a religious war, it's about nationalism.

You misunderstood the original statement but that never stops you. OCD ?

Every time you view one of my posts I get 18 cents from Temu.

The one thing I disliked about my catholic upbringing is I felt guilty for things I never should have.

You mean jerking off right?

shame.

Shame.

 

[lucablight]

That's my point. Christians (and Muslims, et al.) understand how important religion is to people. Atheists seem to assume religious people should accept that religious ideas are less important than secular ideas.

What the hell are you talking about? What a shit strawman.

This is no different to how religious minorities (including Christians) see their struggle against the secular state.

Again, what are you talking about? Care to give some examples?

They aren't 'masking' their bigotry, their worldviews are themselves 'bigoted' according to the secular paradigm. The same way some groups are demonised within the worldview of identity politics.

Bigotry: "the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life"

bigotry

1. the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking…

dictionary.cambridge.org

You’re starting to become the Jordan Peterson of LU. What other “paradigm” would you use to describe the word bigotry? Are you going to claim that the word bigoted doesn’t have a consensus meaning that we ascribe to it today?

It absolutely is. You rail against the bigotry of others while thinking your own bigotry against religious people is logical and just.

What have I said that’s bigoted? To not oppress marginalised groups? If someone justifies the murder of people outside their religion (eg the September 11 bombers) Is it bigoted of me to “rail” against it?

Plenty of things are, but some of them you don't have a problem with.

Anything can be used to justify slavery. It existed long before Christianity, and it was Christians who abolished it.

So why is slavery wrong according to your semantics if railing against it is being bigoted towards religious people who support it?

Everyone should be free to call out shitty behaviour according to their own worldview. This includes Adam Doueihi.

Apostasy is a “shitty behaviour” punishable by death according to fundamentalist Muslims. Does this mean you defend their right to murder me if that’s their worldview?

 

[Noise]

Surely this religious crap can be moved to the politics thread @Twizzle ?

 

[piggysmalls]

Not sure if this is for the religion thread but friend with contacts at Manly saying DCE signing with Dragons for 2 years.
