Mal Meninga - a tool or just angry?

I will never ever understand how that Uate tackle did'nt get the most highest grading possible , anyone else agree. Mals right on this one .

 

**** all you kunts who use Mal's name in vain...:fire

 

Im very surprised Uate wasnt suspended for at least a week minimum.

 

I'm not. I'm used to it by now...

 

And to support the qld stance, last i checked ricky walked out on the sharks after a disastrous season was unfolding before his eyes. Flanigan takes over and they are going ok.

Their is more to it than that of course, but thats the point....there's more to mal than just being a big fella standing at the back of the sheds listening to henry and hagan talk to the players.

 

Maybe if NSW had thrown more passes they would have won... :think

Mal Meninga has been given 48 hours to publicly apologise to the match review committee for his "rats and filth" comments or face the prospect of being sued for defamation.

Sydney law firm Kennedys made the demand on behalf of the NRL in correspondence sent to both the Queensland coach and The Sunday Mail on Tuesday.

"The match review committee is continuing to work with legal advisers to seek some resolution and this is being done through the appropriate channels," NRL football operations manager Nathan McGuirk said.

"There is no wish to further inflame the situation but there is a strong view that the statements are defamatory and they should not remain unchallenged.

"It is everyone's hope that the matter can be resolved without further action."

The move followed Meninga's venomous column in The Sunday Mail, in which he took a swipe at the New South Wales Rugby Leage, the NSW media, the match review committee and the judiciary after the Maroons won a record sixth consecutive State of Origin series.


While most parties connected to the Blues have been happy to let the comments slide, including coach Ricky Stuart, the match review committee of chairman Greg McCallum, Meninga's former Canberra teammate Bradley Clyde and former North Sydney coach Peter Louis want a promise of a public apology within 48 hours.

The details of that still have to be hammered out by legal parties, but it is believed any apology must be prominent enough to garner the same sort of attention Meninga's column attracted.

Meninga's description of the Maroons' effort as a "victory against the very rats and filth that tried to poison a team with monumental lies, personal attack, arrogance and disrespect" are the centre of most offence.

They are comments that have probably cost him friendships with Clyde and Blues coach Ricky Stuart, with whom he won premierships at the Raiders.

The Sunday Mail editor Scott Thompson said he would take legal advice on the matter before determining his next course of action.

"We're standing by Mal and we're standing by the column," Thompson said.

"They've engaged lawyers so obviously we'll seek our own legal advice."

Meninga and Queensland captain Darren Lockyer are scheduled today to attend a charity lunch in Brisbane for children with autism.

Queensland Rugby League managing director Ross Livermore spoke to Meninga on Tuesday for the first time since the Maroons wrapped up a sixth straight series last week.

"He was good," Livermore said.

"I usually leave it to the middle of the next week (after Origin) before I trouble him again."

The QRL boss said that he did not believe Meninga had to say sorry for his comments.

"I don't think he should apologise," Livermore said.

"He might have to apologise for some of the terms that were used, but were they his terms? That's what you've got to check.

"Do you think The Sunday Mail wouldn't have had it checked out before they published it?"

Meninga faces no recriminations from his employer for his comments.

 

All just trying to hype the fight, sell more tickets, bums on seats, nah'm sane?

 

Some people suggest that Mal Meninga has some pretty freaky skeletons in his closet. He made a pretty spur of the moment move to England in the Eighties for some reason.....

...but I guess in QLD you can overlook anything (state of birth, country of birth, off field antics etc) if it means winning Origin

 

You can get away with anything in Queensland if you're a beloved Maroon like Mal.
