Timana Tahu accused of racially abusing youth

[mrpwnd]

Do you know what his salary is? And you have made up the 50% figure. He has missed a few for sure - but 50 %?? He played 17 games this year and 18 in his last season for us.

So what? 17/26 games is hardly a redeeming trait, that's 9 games missed, that's 9 games that he's still being paid for, regardless of his salary, most of those 9 games were also on the back of some pointless whinging/suspension from a brain explosion.
I don't know about you...But I prefer somone that plays 20+ games.

Maybe it would be better to leave colour out of it.
You could just say "that bald bloke around the corner" or "the fat chick over there".

You can`t say fat chick. You can`t say bald chick, either.

 

[lingard]

i'd be more offended at being called a merkin tbh... that word bugs me to the core everytime i hear it

But it`s okay for a girl to call a bloke a 'prick' or a 'dick'. Funny, isn`t it?

you cant even say chick with some women

yea its something about the connotations people put behind the C word...
i call my phone a 'prick of a thing', and myself a dickhead all the time, but i've never heard anyone make anything other then really angry/violent/horrible use of the C bomb. There's no other way to take it!

some blokes use the c word so much its almost a replacement for 'mate' :crazy:

Either way, Tahu is in the clear for mine.

I'll take the word of Denis Moran and the other players.

Apparantly, an official complaint has been made.

Link: I heard it on the news at 4.00 pm. 2UE.

Suity

Hmmm....by the people who made the claim against Tahu? Unsurprising, now that they have been basically dis-proven they sort of have to do this to not make themselves look like total morons.....

Even then, it is hilarious that they said "we just want an apology" and went to the news about it, but then they turn around and make a formal complaint (if true). These idiots who accused Tahu need to get their heads checked.....

i often use the term "c%&t of a thing". And heaps of other people do to. I dont see why people get offended by the c word. People use to get offended by F%&k but now its pretty common, Won't be long before the c bomb is just as accepted.

merkins are so f**ken uptight these days:lol::lol: sorry couldnt resist;-)

14 pages of thread I dont have the time to go through (which looks way off the initial topic anyhow).

Tahu is more trouble than he is worth . . . . if he is indeed off contract, I would like to see him punted

Kearney reportedly wants to keep him, I'm not sure what the board's stance is but I know Osbourne is Tahu's friend.

Good I hope he stays as I reckon he could be in for a big one next year.

If he is kept, I really hope you are right, and I am wrong.

To me, someone who is in the media for the wrong reasons is a distraction and a liability.

Also, that speaking out against Anderson, and Hindy's rebuff via the media worries me. Communication and team morale can't be the best when players have to communicate via the newspaper.

At this stage his salary could be better spent methinks.

Yer I can understand what your saying, but I think after this year he might be very determined to prove a few people wrong. Time will tell.

They must have had a lot of private meetings together in Ozzie's bedroom to pull off something like that.

You`re right. It is really strange, though, isn`t it? The word merkin (and I don`t mean merkin, I mean merkin) is usually said with much more venom and has much more horrible connotations. It`s really weird, because a merkin ( I mean merkin, here) is generally held in such high regard by most males, and yet they use the word as a vile insult. Go figure.

Yes. I just hope they all come together on this.

 

[Redback71]

his probably wishing he stayed in Rugby at this stage. Hope in 2011 he has a year like 2005 same goes for grothe jnr and I want moimoi to play like 2009 and hindy like 2006

if anyone was listening to the interview on the 2ky sports breakfast show with Kearney, they ask if Tahu was an important part of the eels and if he would be resigned . Kearney gave a very board answer which sounded like he was not overly concerned if tahu was not resigned or if he was an importnat part of the eels side - basically said anyone in the eels side was important.

By the sound of the interview it sounded like he didn't care if tahu was resgined!!
