what are you talking about ? Just saw Meninga speak after Ikin & he spoke at great length about Mitchell & Addo Carr and Mal was livid. Said he prob won’t pick them for Australia, they should be suspended & fined. He went very heavy on them.I think you're spot on here. As I type this, Fox League Live is on and they've been talking about the "race card" issue openly the whole time and again with Ben Ikin, but they've just had Mal Meninga on and not a fukking word about it. I mean of all people that would best be suited to talk about it would be Mal, a highly respected indigenous person, but nothing was mentioned.
It's definitely a taboo subject.
Not really. Plenty of people have elderly and sick relatives that can be put in jeopardy by stupidity like this. Given that this is a rural area where medical care is limited, an outbreak of Covid 19 could go unchecked through a large portion of the community quickly given that the potential to spread from one person is exponential, if the 12 of them present became infected because one of them had it, it's a huge source of contagious sources. They are seriously stupid. And going from a high population area where the risk of contagion is high to a relatively small population is a pointless risk. The lockdown laws are in place to give as many people that get infected a chance at surviving. These morons are putting their amusement ahead of the health of potentially thousands of people.The covid farce-down laws are ridiculous any way if he's out in the bush with his mates it's not a big deal.
Exactly. As a game and a country you are trying your best to get back on track. These idiots went against it.They have to both cop a 6 week suspension. Anything less is not acceptable.
Do not want to see a fine without a suspension.
I wouldn’t mind if they go harder. Mitchell and Addo Carr are morons.
Greg ingliswhat concerns me is who's going to write these poor blokes a reference.
The taboo subject wasn't raised with him though, that's what I'm talking about.what are you talking about ? Just saw Meninga speak after Ikin & he spoke at great length about Mitchell & Addo Carr and Mal was livid. Said he prob won’t pick them for Australia, they should be suspended & fined. He went very heavy on them.
Granted, but not too dissimilar in regards to what his people went through. Regardless, he's been an advocate and role model for the indigenous people playing the sport. I think they should have gotten his view.Mail's not aboriginal, otherwise agree with the general sentiment
Have to agree but wasn't it Addo Carr that played the race card? They should've just 'manned up' and admitted they were wrong. Going down the 'cultural' route really has put them in the middle of it and the NRL is a difficult spot. Would imagine they'd come down hard on them for this.Latrell "Mundine" Mitchell. Has to be the fastest climbing hated player in my books. The guy has complete fuckwit written all over him and to play the race card straight up, honestly go and get fucked!!
And don't start me on the mental health bullshit. There are plenty of fellow Aussies who are locked down at home and doing the right thing while trying to deal with their own mental health issues.
We all wish we could go out and do what we want, but the situation calls for us to isolate. We are all sacrificing family and friends to do the right thing and these guys think they are an exception to the rest of us.
All they are are a bunch of self entitled fuckwits doing what they want to do. Nothing to do with anything cultural just a bunch of blokes out drinking, shooting guns and riding bikes.
Latrell should do us all a favour and just stay in Taree permanently.
