AFB shots fired!

[The '47ers]

Boom!

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Agree with his sentiment re: the names.

But AFB will live to regret the final ‘literary’ flourish, and so he should.

As for the Footy Show, it was a rudderless wreck long before she ventured along.

The more I see of him .... the less I love him .... stick to footy mate ... it's what you're good at ...

Taupau wasn't to impressed with Erin either, though he may have expressed it differently.

This is the problem with social media platforms. Players don’t think before the post things. I don’t know the backstory here but if she was making culturally insensitive comments on TV she should apologize. However AFB should have shown more class and not had a go at here about the show. I’m sure he will learn from it.

Im guessing my entire 12th man mega collection is probably so far from PC that it should never see the light of day?

You know what it can stay. Stuff anyone who doesnt like it.

Agree, love him as a player however he could learn a lot from Marty on how to conduct himself off the field and on social media.

I wish some people on here would get off AFB’s back & that of other players at our club. I’m sick of reading the rubbish from the moaning brigade who have zero to offer except for name calling, whining & death riding the team & bitching about players before / after every game! If you don’t like the players then pi$$ off & support another club! You know who you are!!!

Now I will start doing it, just because you thought it your right to tell people not to...

 

[KNUCKLES]

Good on him I say... Its a free country. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. It seems everyone was okay with her comments so why not addins? I think most would agree she is an.a grade gronk anyway. I remember not long ago she was struggling with people making comments about her looks and proffesionalism via Kyle and Jackie o. Now she is out there on air bagging on other people. You sow what you reap

Coincidence that you mention that ... I had the conversation with two of my Indian mates this morning and they said that the 12th man was compulsory listening .. they used to get a laugh out of it ..

One of the funniest things I have ever heard is Robin Williams putting on a pissed Scottish accent and bagging golf and Scotsmen ...

Whole world is getting too precious ..

Give yourself a triple uppercut and a vasectomy ..

League commentators need to know Pasifika names and pronunciation, otherwise they have no business being there. Half of the nrl players are Pasifika, they are not a comical minority.

Why don't we have a commentator of Pasifika origin?
NB: What is this made up word 'Pasifika'? What does it stand for? Pacificisland.....
Are we being racially insensitive using descriptors such as 'Polynesian', 'Islander' ?
I need to know before I end up being called a racist when really I'm just ignorant.

It’s a real term inclusive of Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia Pacific Islander - Wikipedia

Got it. Pasifika it is from now on.
I also found out that they originally came from Taiwan. Yep, if you can believe Wikipedia:
all Pacific islanders first colonists can be traced back to a people living in Taiwan around 3000 BC that spread across the Ocean in a series of migration waves.

Footy Show is such a pathetic piece of garbage they'll probably double down and bring back Mahatma Cote

The guy is a total dick and I hate having him in our team. Same as I did Les Boyd back in the day. Won't be pissing off anywhere, but thanks for the offer.
Marty pointed it out as soon as it happened in a completely dignified way which hit the mark:
"Understandable for our non-Pasifika community attempting to properly announce our names, but to disrespect and make a mockery of former/current Pasifika players in the NRL like how you carried on is DISGRACEFUL! My grandfather would be tossing in his grave in anger!"
Unlike the bandwagon jumping dickhead.
We have a right to disapprove of our players. AFB carries on like an idiot on the field, on social media, and has a conviction off it which I don't have to sit easily with.
