FFS , I thought Les Biles might get a recall!

AJ and Cody have been known to joke about things.

I think AJ pulled out mate otherwise he’d defs be there.

 

[Pplspoet]

Yeah. He’d get picked ahead of Naden.

 

[MegaRabbitoh]

Oh FFS.

What the hell has AJ done wrong?

Well, my best guess is that he has had hammy issues every season of late so maybe they're thinking a light run against Manly where we can control his minutes and his intensity, if he even plays at all, is best building into the new season.

Don't want to send him to Philadelphia mid-season as well...

Here’s a thought. Instead of the NRL pumping up the salary cap & club funding by millions they should just give the players association the money to distribute between th players and then we’ll see how much the high flyers give a toss about those on a minimum wage

It’s essentially a statistical impossibility that Ian Roberts has been the only gay professional rugby league player.

Meaning it’s entirely likely that numerous players have felt the need to closet themselves. Or that others that would like to have pursued the career, haven’t for fear of not being accepted.

Is this what we’re aiming for as a game?

The religious thing doesn’t hold up. As soon as a movement preaches exclusion of a group of people that have done nothing wrong, they loose the moral high ground and IMO, society should desert them. Not say ‘well, if that’s what you believe, power to you’.

That’s fair enough to have your view.

For what it’s worth, my view, is not “power to you,” but rather to each their own.

Leave the politics/religion/sexuality etc out of sport and just come together as one and play rugby league.

I also think that society should be a lot more accepting of people that have different views and not be so quick to desert them.

Don't apologise and no one blames you. Most are grateful for what you do.

All are grateful mate

Can we stop guys with the politics goodness me. Causes too many arguments.

Anyone listen to Talkin Sport lately? Should rename themselves Talkin Politics....

I know it's a small sample size but based on my 17 year old son and his mates.
LGBTI?
Couldn't care less. You do you. Which is the way it should be.

I don’t think he will play at all against Manly mate I think we will put out a young side with a few fringe first graders.

I used to but not of late last couple of years no

Will the high flyers get it or the ‘managers’ of the players’ association? I think a lot of the argument is who gets control of the $$.

You’re right.
what it would do is expose their teal motives

Well said, you nailed it.

Just read they are adding Tassy to the All-Stars team to replace JAC. Excellent experience-adding selection for us. He should get a lot out of it mixing with some elite talent in a special atmosphere.

Good stuff.
