Haha imagine if they make the GF, no tomorrow for that maniac.

Got to toe the line though

If all his charges end up as fines he'll have to come out of retirement and play again!

Kick them back out of the comp immediately View attachment 30482

Nah he's no Ryan Matterson!

 

[bort]

Nah he's no Ryan Matterson!

Charges from same game don’t impact each other though, imagine if he stacked up like 6 $2000 fines but no suspensions.

If it was pre GF they could withhold some pay easily enough I guess but wonder if they’d go after someone who was fined more than he was still due…

That Matto situation is still hilarious.
Somehow one of the funnier discipline issues in the NRL despite just being a guy taking his punishment

Wokeness can get ****ed. End of story.

People who complain about wokeness complain as much as those they are upset about
He says, complainingly

I still don't even know what woke means.

Stumbled over this... Rugby league in it's purest form. With a cameo by John Morris

I still don't even know what woke means.

First it was the left who used it meaning socially concious/aware. Then it went through a period where it mocked the lefties that were over the top and in your face about it. Now hearing it is usually an indicator of someone who yearns for the days where they could say all the sexist/racist **** they like and everyone laughed along.

In my experience anyway.

The most overused word I've ever heard. Agree with your last sentence, that seems to be when it's used most.

for me it’s more so the over political correctness where some people take offence to innocent terms, views, names etc.

Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely causes that need fighting for but there are also arguments where some people just want to make a fuss for their own personal agendas and not for a cause for the better but to get their 5 mins of fame

It's genuinely communism but for the 2020's. Something to blame/scare people. Wokeness is coming, those lefties are going to turn your kids transgender.

Completely get it. That's the middle ground I mentioned and not an unreasonable position. For many the needle has flipped too far in the other direction though.

I'm not racist or sexist, but I'll call a spade a spade. If that gets me labels from angry little morons so be it. I know biological men can't be women, they shouldn't compete against women, drag queens story time with kids is ****en mental, the pride **** is OTT and movies & TV suck because of the preachy/lecturing nature. I also love comedy and woke ideology has no sense of humour. Anyone whose sexuality is their personality can **** off too. We don't need a welcome to country every time an elevator door opens.
