I'm incredibly frustrated this has gone down the path of sexism and it's pulling our club through the mud. From what I can see, none of our players said or did anything sexist. Just some idiot fans.
The team were frustrated with horrible referring. That's it. The NRL has no ability for self...
100%. It really showed our mental resilience. Anger and frustration should be vented in the way we play, not verbal abuse or punches. Run it harder, tackle harder.
The referring wasn't at fault, but when that happens, it adds so much doubt to how the game would have gone otherwise. It's a...
The comments aren't only misogynistic, but just incredibly dumb.
We've been on the end of some dud calls the last few weeks and this week just capped it off. We were the worst team, but with that refereeing, it was an even tougher watch.
These refs escape accountability and ignore fans. It's a...
We just need Sullivan to start performing. Even if it's in cup. The Tigers should be throwing the resources we can at him. He has the capability.
Either way we end up with quality depth or can offload at a decent price.
All those activities sound fine. They either have a "laugh" element (Nudie run, powerpoint) or are individually/team physical (running back to HQ, army drills).
None of those are the same as the ostracisation of Topine.
Robbo said it well. "“You have to push players to be at their best, and...
Such great news! and finally, a relieving sign that HBG may have properly turned a corner. Let's hope it continues as I'm sure Richo has an exit clause if it doesn't.
The point wasn't gitmo. The point was where is the line? And had he agreed to that?
The "wrestle" I.e. physical part here isn't the issue. I think that's where you're stuck. It's ths mental. It was ALL his peers were made to inflict it and the trainer told them not to help. That's ostracising...
So what level of touture and humiliation should nrl players be signing up to in order to keep their job? Should they have to be OK with electrocuting, waterboarding? Bring some of that gitmo flavour. Hell, humiliation was one of them so they've got that alresdy.
No one would argue physical...
There is a very big difference between punishment and humiliation. What the dogs did is very much in the latter.
It actually could have been a bonding opportunity if that douchebag trainer didn't tell the teammates to not rally around him after it.
I mean, why even do it? What outcome were...
