that's exactly my point. farrell did nothing to earn his ire.

and haha to the insinuation (although just a throw away joke line) he would be scared of inglis. it's easy to be a tough guy when you blindside someone, not so easy when some meathead forward is coming at you.

.

LOL at 'blindsided'. Yeah, maybe because Young was looking the wrong bloody way

I cannot tell you how enjoyable it was seeing one of your favourite sons getting belted on Saturday. Do wish it could have been Prior himself, but Young will do.

You took pleasure in seeing a decent human being get knocked out during a rugby league game? A bloke who's copped a lot of adversity through injury over the length of his career and has still managed to pull through?

And for the record I think the Prior hit on Thurston earlier in the year was a dog act. I didn't take pleasure in that incident and I certainly don't take any pleasure in this one either.

I don't see how anyone can smile at a guy being carried off in a medivac.

Saw this and wanted to start a thread about it as soon as it happened. Farrell was lying there trying not to move to accommodate for Youngs injury, quite similar to the slater and williams incident. Then Merrin starts shoving him in the back of the head while his team mate lay there injured on his lap.*

Never rated Merrin as a player and he has just shown that as a person he isn't much better. Everything after that point was a really bad look, both teams are to blame. Taking a knee as a sign of respect would be a good incentive for the players, and it would rub out the thug tag that's been placed on our players and our sport.

What about Inglis' knees into Mitch Rein after Young lost the ball? Or him trying to neck him as Rein played on?

Not to mention the late hit by Burgess on Morris after he had scored or Crocker kicking out at Merrin early in the first half.

None of this happened as the souffs players are all angels.

Like he gives a flying f**k what you think of him as a player or person. He has more than likely had more success in life than you have or will in your life time.

Righteousness is so very boring.

Call it pleasure at the thought of all the stains fans reaction to it. Especially after the lack of restraint shown by them after Prior's act.

Back to circle jerkers now fella.

So youve never given an opinion about a player on a forum, ever?

I have said many times that a player is useless or should be dropped, but never accused them of being a bad person because of something they did on the field.

It's not like he has beat up his girlfriend or assaulted someone.

Exactly, blindsided. It's been so many years since young made any sort of break that he had forgotten how to keep an eye out for dirty, filthy merkins that want to come in and take his head out.

Inglis is a wanker he doesn't even know what state he is born in thats right Bowraville thats in Qld apparently.

This its no in his game load of shit he knew what he was doing and will get suspended for it just like Prior and his moment of stupidity.

Souths really do have some dumb shit players at their club Luke, Burgess, Crocker, Inglis the only decent fella they actually have is Merrit.

The whole two minutes after the shoulder charge is pretty disgraceful. Not sure why you are picking up one player when there is like 10 in there.
Because if not for him the brawl doesn't start?

Farrell did the right thing by not moving with an unconscious body on him and he gets attacked for it.

Anyone who argues GI deserved the bin has to say Merrin did as well.

It's dawned on me that whilst the media continue to wax lyrical about the Greg Inglis hit, a rather disgusting act that occurs seconds later is going overlooked.
Who f**king cares.

Anything that happened after Greg Inglis' disgraceful attack on the head of an opponent is retrospectively justified by him not being sent off.

Move along, nothing to see here.

In the last week, we've seen Craig Field and Kieran Loveridge charged with murder by the result of assaults of this nature. Hitting a bloke from behind is never ok.

Have a look at the replay on NRL.com, you'll see what I'm taking about.

.

Hope the cops don't get a hold of that video or mez's looking at 8 years for attempted murder
