gingerjon Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 1 minute ago, RP London said: Yes i agree to an extent. however, Folau had a contract that he breached by posting what he posted. You do not sign up to sing the national anthem nor do you sign anywhere to say that you will not speak out about inequality, in fact folau was sacked for encouraging inequality (amongst other things). What those speaking about the anthem are wanting is more equality and equal deference made by language which is surely something everyone should be striving for anyway. Yes, I do agree. But I figured I should stop myself before I made a long and rambling post about it. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

You probably already know it but reading the story of Peter Norman never fails to produce some very strong emotions of humility and anger in me. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Tommygilf Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Anyone claiming Mitchell was dropped for not singing the anthem clearly didn't watch the absolute shocker of a performance he came up with after the anthem was sung! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he particularly stood out either way, but he was replaced by Maloney who had a stormer in Game 2, so justified decision? Mitchell has been out of form for a while imo, he was poor in Ryan Hall's first game against Brisbane that I watched so I don't know if he's just in a bit of a slump because he's clearly a class acy. Its Also worth noting the players that were retained such as Addo-Carr and Ferguson brought in for the blues. Plus the QLD retained players. I see comments like Tahu's as unhelpful. They sound like the conspiracy theories in the thread that the RFL want to keep Fev out of SL to explain the refs decisions in the Barrow game. If all players had been dropped wholesale and those of indigenous descent not considered for selection in Game 2 I'd agree there's a problem, but they weren't and were replaced by players who had better games. Cotric was also dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
