[Stagger eel]

oh ffs - build a bridge pete and stop being so precious

Good. Normal relationships are now resumed. Thanks Stagger.
I appreciate your integrity.

Now, where were we!!!!!![/QUOTE]

I want to know what everyones opinion would be if this was not a player from parramatta. We would hear everyone say soft, cat, baby & so on.

Lets be clear here. He walked out on his team mates. He ddnt even want to speak to johns & clarify what was said. Its sounds like diva action to me. He is lucky to be playing state of origin let alone walk out on the camp.

I am still happy but because it means he will be fresh for parra & also johns might get the axe & we can bring in sterlo to be a halves coach

Tahu is a great athlete but he always seems prickly & about to explode.
Wonder how that goes down within the team?
Johns is an idiot & should never be in positions of responsibility.

Would that make him 3P? Precious Parra Pete?

 

[Stagger eel]

Parra Pete and Stagger . . .

Talk about leading by example on how to sort out a misunderstanding. You should workshop that method with Johns and Tahu.

if I was in a workshop with those 2 I'd be a bumbling mess, Pete however would be demanding a hefty fee plus corporate tickets to game 3 and travel and accomidation costs..:lol:

 

[Springs]

Funny how everyone does not want to judge Tahu and wait for what was really said but were ready to blast an 8 year old kid for simply leaving a game, Tahu walked out of the blues camp...

 

[Gronk]

Whoever said what to whom and when, little is known other than it happened a few days ago and it seems to have been poorly managed.

Well explain to me how you know what the CRL 'common line is when they get off the phone to you' is all about.
What is the CRL common line..please enlighten me?
and explain how you know what is discussed between me and the CRL unless it is leaked to you with the express purpose of ridiculing my attempts to promote Rugby League in this area..
I think this is a pretty serious accusation you have levelled against me..and if I can't get an answer from you, I will go further..make no mistake about that.

accusation[/B] and attempt to ridicule me for promoting Rugby League in the bush, on the assumption of how matters between my Club and the CRL are handled.
Judging by your comment, private phone calls are subject to 'pub discussions'...otherwise how would you know???
I might be naive Stagger, but I am not stupid - don't think that for a moment.

:lol: This is f**king hilarious...keep it up pete you idiot, we all love a good, baseless tanty...especially from an old fool like you. I wonder why you're so fired up, feeling guilty about something? :lol:

To coin a phrase...

Build a bridge...

PARRAMATTA winger Timana Tahu walked out on the NSW Origin side after a personal fallout with assistant coach and former Knights teammate Andrew Johns.

Despite the seriousness of the matter, a "shattered" Johns has not been dismissed from the camp.

It is understood that a remark that Johns said earlier in the week in Tahu's presence had offened him. He asked coach Craig Bellamy if he could leave the camp and left yesterday afternoon.

"Earlier in the camp I made some comments which Timana Tahu deemed inappropriate and offensive," Johns said.

"My comments weren't directed towards Timana, they were about myself and Timana's deemed them to be offensive and inappropriate.

"I'm really upset and shattered. We go way back. I've known him since he was a kid. Unfortunately, we had a day off yesterday and I didn't get a chance to see 'T' before he left. I've been trying to call him.

"It's a private matter between myself and him and we'll talk in the next couple of days."

Tahu has been replaced by Canberra star Joel Monaghan was rushed into the side last night. He was cleared of a thumb injury before joining the camp yesterday.

"It's something you would rather not deal with but you have to respect Timana's privact privary and his views, which we do," team manager Craig Young said. "In relation to Joey, he's very shattered. He's obviously very passionate about NSW. He'll get back on the bike today and he'll get on with it."

Geez, if someone told me to "skip to the end of the side bar", I`d be really pissed off, too. :shock:

How's get f**ked sound to you fawlty.

I haven't got an idea as to what Andrew Johns said. But if Johns said something about himself that Tahu found inappropriate enough to leave camp about then maybe Johns was talking about the impact of professional football on family life? After all, Johns's first marriage broke down whilst he was a player, as have many other sports people's relationships etc. So maybe its something deeply personal like that - in which case we don't really need to know the details of it.

I can't see Johns saying anything racist. At least not in a deliberately offensive way. I dont think Tahu would be so sensitive over any comments on rugby. Though that could be it given that Johns almost went over in 2003. But I doubt that would warrant walking out on the camp. So personal life is the only thing I can think of that makes any sense.

 

[Snoochies]

Mate just told me he was listening to 2GB or whatever that channel is and was mentioned that racism seemed to be involved.

Take from that what you will.

this link has a joint statement released by Tahu and Johns.
Doesn't explain what he said but it now seems it was racial based on this statement.
