The ABs are a professional outfit. They identified specific parts of Folau and Pococks games that were a threat and sought to nullify them. Sometimes legally, often not. Hooper doesn’t have that single dominant facet to target. It’s his all round ability as a work horse, link, defender etc that...

Umm..ok. Not sure what that has to do with my post that you quoted but whatever floats your boat.

Reckon that’s a long shot. Folau was clearly the best in the world with his aerial skills and there is no doubt the ABs tried to nullify this, often illegally. Pocock was one of the best pilferers in the would at his peak and single handedly altered the outcome of some games - again he was...

I think 3 is one too many. We have little strike power or finishing ability in our back 3 and it’s hard to see where our line breaks are going to come. Set piece play will be ok but kick returns, turnover ball etc wont be that threatening. Perhaps they’re planning on playing for territory but we...

Sounds like all the characteristics of a good fullback playing out of position to me.

Yeah that’s a whole different argument. Real time the lions clean out was ok but hooper was unlucky Thought he had the rights

He taps him on the shoulder. There is no force or clean out. Watch the replay. The Twitter gif presents an illusion. Hooper rolls away on his own accord with the help of the lions clean out. If anything it probably saves a penalty as hoper wasn’t moving till the ref gave him the tap.

Just after 64.30. Ref is calling leave it blue and taps him to make sure he knows. Hooper is protesting at being told to leave it - not against the ref cleaning him out. Nothing in it .

I sincerely doubt that. But I respect your right to express a baseless opinion regardless of how misguided it may be

Yep - and you can hang my around and whine about how your sensibilities have been offended whilst trying to find someone to blame, or you can wipe it off and keep walking. Society today does to much of the former and not enough of the latter.

Nothing I have seen, heard or read here or anywhere else convinces me this is anything but a storm in a teacup. Getting offended by something on the internet is like choosing to step in dog shit rather than walk around it

Convincing win there by the reds.

Is Kerevi definitely leaving or is that all still speculation based on only signing a 12 month contract? Maybe he was backing himself for his value to go up. If so then he’s done well.

Sorry just trying to inject a little humour. You’ll note I stopped posting several pages back as things are going round and round in circles. I haven't seen a new slant or idea for days. I certainly don’t have any. I’ll get back in my box now

Interesting isn’t it That’s been my observation as well - and the basis behind my comments about being offended on behalf of others and choosing which subgroup is most worthy of that outrage. Seems ironic when some prominent members of that minority group themselves don’t take issue (see link...

Ironically you appear to be exhibiting some of the same traits as the person you are calling out

No. What you don’t seem to understand is we do not share those views but have the maturity to accept that some people do without being filled with moral outrage. We are in the midst of a period where people are so easily offended that everything is couched in pc language. There is a sense of...

Now I’ve heard it all He’s a professional sportsman whose done nothing else his entire working life. It’s why insurance policies stipulate the ability to work in “own profession” when deciding on a payout rather than “any profession”. By removing his ability to play sport (and the other codes...
