I’ll say one thing about Hooper and Kents “journalism” that puts their views and comments into perspective.

“ASADA”!

Whilst there is something dodgy going on, we also all know the gutter “journalism” those two dish up.
Funny the havent mentioned that "A" word (That's Asada, not the other one)

If this happened to the Sharks a few years ago they would be demanding it.

Not sure if this has been discussed, however:


As disgraced NRL star Manase Fainu prepared to go to jail for stabbing a Mormon church youth leader, his former teammates were declaring their support for him on national TV.
Once considered one of the brightest talents in the league, Fainu was jailed on Monday as he awaits sentencing over the violent attack outside a Sydney church in October, 2019.

Despite the career-ending guilty verdict, his old Manly Sea Eagles teammates Josh Schuster Josh Aloiai and Haumole Olakau’atu were quick to throw their weight behind him over the weekend.

All three refused to wear a rainbow-coloured jersey to show support for the LGBTI community just two weeks ago and stood themselves down from playing on moral grounds.
A clip of the try celebration, which was moments later ruled out over a knock-on, was then shared by western Sydney rapper and alleged senior member of the Alameddine gang Ali ‘Ay Huncho’ Younes.

“6 side king,” wrote Younes, tagging Fainu and Olakau’atu.

Schuster also showed his support for Fainu, with the initials MF scribbled on his wrist. “See ya soon my toko (brother in Tongan),” he shared on Instagram.

Didn't Fif get in the crap and there were calls for him to be suspended etc for having stuff written on his strapping? So these blokes have writting on their strapping in the same way, to show support for a mate of theirs who is going to do jail time, and also throwing some sort of gang related sign.

So...will there be the same outcry? Curious.

Manly supports stabbing, as long as it's not in the bum

Yeh we have been discussing across a couple of threads.

Yeh they made a massive deal over Fifita - even though he didn't make a song and dance over it (it was a Jurno that deciphered it).

Though they will claim its a religious / cultural matter so NRL will leave it alone.

Apparently reports are that Ponga and Mann have just been drug tested by the NRL.
