mundines mouth enters storm in teacup

mate I played for logan city in rugby union and was the only white dude in the team, I was always referred to from opposition as "get the white ****" coz I was the only whitey in the team. who cares - I am white, and i am a **** nothing really to get upset about. But then again, you can only be racist if your white :roll:

 

yeah as if mundine wrote that! He would have struggled to complete a full sentence.

 

Tahu wrote

''I never knew Laurie Daley was Aboriginal until two years ago,'' Tahu says. ''And it makes you wonder if Laurie Daley had recognised himself publicly as an Aboriginal in the past, would he still have made all those rep teams and played for Australia? That's just an example."


Because HE didn't know Laurie had aboriginal blood, that makes Laurie a dud?

I'm a feeble old **** that has never met Laurie but I've known about his aboriginality since he started to make a name for himself, & I'm no League tragic.

While the rule of no racism in League is hard & fast, I do think Tahu needs to get the chip off his shoulder.
What he went through as a kid was sickening but carrying it around with him is no way to set an example I don't think.

 

never stopped meninga

 

I like Tahu but he's come back to League from Union with a hell of a lot of pent-up aggro in him. Great player, I met him years ago when he was still up-and-coming at the Knights and he was a really nice bloke, seemed to have his head screwed on right.

As for his claim that past greats were afraid to announce their Aboriginal heritage, what of Ricky Walford and the 'brother's corner' in the dressing sheds at Kogarah, Cliffy Lyon, Mal Meninga, Artie Beetson, etc? They're legends going back several generations and they were all pretty open about their heritage.

Plenty of Aboriginal players have been selected for rep honours over the years.

Considering the majority of first grade NRL players are now of either Aboriginal or Polynesian background, how can anyone claim that whitey is still keeping them down?

 

Tahu is a big sook but Johns is a ****wit and shouldnt have said what he did.

 

Im not sure if this is on topic, but i dont care. Has anyone gone to watch a predominantly Islander team take on an indigenous team? I dont think ive heard anything more racist in my life. They werent the most imaginative but the use of coconuts and spearchuckers were thrown around quite alot. I myself (coz i look anglo) have been called a convict by plenty of indigenous players.

If i tried to make some sort of complaint i would of been laughed at, some of these blokes need to harden the **** up, the hole idea of sledging is to get the opposition player off his game.

This leads me back to SOO last year when all the "black" players from queensland wanted a photo to themselves with the trophy and wouldnt allow any white players in it. I bet you if Lockyer chose to have a white only photo, at the end of the preso everyone would be up in arms.

 

My son plays league against Cabra, they are full of fobs, so called racism isn't a one way street.

 

I read the link sally...it says nothing about Mindines next fight....your the drama queen sally

For the record I dont care if a bloke is red white or blue...they all can still be ****s

 

What Johns said was not directed in a malicious manner and more so in banter as Tahu the big sook himself said it was.

He could have tapped Johns on the shoulder when it was said and told him to pull his head in or else. Even make Johns apologize.

What he has done though is turned something which was nothing into a circus and now the fools are out in force with the racist crap. Get a grip FFS.

In 250 plus first grade games for the Knights there was not one mention of such comments directed at any indigenous player from opposing teams or inside his own club. He played with many of them including the sook Tahu and never once did I see him when he blew up verbally attack 'em. He was very passionate too about winning and losing.

From the time Inglis started out at Melbourne, Johns has done nothing but praise the man at every opportunity he got.

Now that he has said one silly comment, that we are all guilty of doing at times he's the worst c@nt in the world. Grow up.

I have a couple of mates from aboriginal backgrounds that I get on the drink with on weekends and that sort of talk is the norm. It just depends at how it's directed that matters. If I get up to get a beer, I sometimes get comments like" Grab me one too gubba".... Or come on you "white **** hurry up"..... I normally reply, "wait you silly black c@nt and everyone laughs.....

If I direct it with conviction in the heat of the moment it's a different ball game. But I don't do because I know how it comes across.

Tahu is just looking for a pat on the back. Keep the race card alive.

Please....... it's something kids revert to FFS. Grow up Timana

 

****ing big girl..... Tahu should be wearing a ****ing skirt...... ****ing drama queen:roll:

 

That's all well and good, but how do you know what context it was said in? I'm sure Tahu didn't turn down an opportunity to represent his state lightly.

 

Joey should have called Inglis a woman bashing beige **** ..... and no-one would have complained.

I wonder if Tahu was upset at Inglis bashing his Missus.... or is that OK because she is white?

 

We now know what context it was said in..... During a team rev up Joey told Beau Scott that he had to stop that black **** (referring to Inglis)

And instead of just manning up and speaking to Joey about his comment immediately.... he stews on it like a big girl and causes maximum disruption for his team mates ..... He should never be selected in any future rep teams for that reason alone
