Kurt Sorensen got hooked once and he steamed off the field and out of the ground. Not sure where he went, maybe the pub.

Passion. Bloke gets his buttons pressed to be the beast he is and responds. Thats good. If you poke a bear you'll get a response, Dymock got one tonight. I think everyone gave Fifi some leeway after his big 5-6wks carrying us. Now its time to fire up again ****. We don't win a comp without a full firing Fifita, this could be a turning point we look back on with fond memories

Think bigger picture.
To let this **** go and calling it nothing sets a shocking precedence and a pathetic club culture for all to see.
One of which would accept gronks like Carney to carry on with their **** and drag the brand through dirt.

No one player is bigger than the club.

For mine, it's only a shocking precedence if it's not left on the field. Let the big fella fire up in a fairly footy appropriate way.

This is the rugby league brand. It's what separates us from other sports. It's what makes Origin so great. It's why we love Melbourne Vs Sharks.

Bang on the mark.
Spot fire extinguished, let’s turn our attention to Newcastle.

If this was in the sheds or at training, sure. Discipline would be needed and warranted. But this was a heat of the moment. He clearly did what he was criticised for not doing and the passion boiled over into a spray on the field. Big whoop. That's the passion any coach would kill for. To shut him out as a result defeats the purpose of the original criticism and does not advance anything meaningful. If anything, we've found a delicate spot we can prod in the future when needed. I reckon the coach would have been absolutely loving that try and probably had a smile or giggle at the celebration. The coach essentially won. Fifita won. It's a win win to leave it on the field.

Again, if it were in the sheds, at training, etc. then that's a completely different story and would be pure insubordination. This was pure passion. I say bring him off 20m into a grand final and stir the pot again if we get such a passionate performance as a result.

Some people criticising have clearly never played sport in any capacity or just genuinely have no idea about life or passion.

Pull your heads in idiots
