Such as what Goodes was talking about on Open Mic as mentioned on this forum awhile back!

you mean where he said:

"The players we have involved in the game and where these players are coming from, the roles our indigenous players are playing in AFL football, we are definitely winning the war," Goodes said.
"The war is never going to end. We are getting players from all over the country so education is a massive part of that."

Its hard to act on racism when its not reported. When it is the AFL act.

Compare that to the NRL where fans get off scott free for abuse that is clear to everyone.

"It definitely hasn't (been eradicated), it's something we're continually talking about at our indigenous camps that we have every second year," Goodes added.

"We talk about incidents and we talk about what players can do better themselves to stomp it out. A lot of players don't report it.

THAT is what I mean! It's still there!

No one is winning the war against racism. It's there, so we're losing.

NRL salary cap auditor Ian Schubert's approval of a deal for Israel Folau to join Parramatta next season has come too late, with the former AFL convert turning his back on a return to the code to take up a lucrative offer in rugby union.
After weeks of protracted negotiations between the Eels and the NRL, Fairfax Media understands that Schubert had agreed on Wednesday to register a contract for Folau if he accepted a $3 million, four-year deal tabled by the club.
It has also been revealed that NRL interim chief executive Shane Mattiske had met representatives of Folau before his decision to quit AFL and Mattiske has since been helping the Eels to address salary cap issues.
However, the 23-year-old former Test and Origin star stunned Parramatta coach Ricky Stuart and other Eels officials on Friday when he told them he had decided to accept a bigger offer in rugby union, believed to be from a wealthy French club.

1. How can the AFL act on incidents that arent reported? They have a very robust program to deal with these issues but if the players who are vilified wont use it what can the AFL do?

2. He said they are winning the war against racism. How are the NRL going to win when they let MANY racist fans off without any consequences?

He has not shown up the NRL, he has been shown the door after a long and extensive interview. He(Falou) does not deserve any special treatment after walking out on the code. And this is coming from a Parra supporter.

Screw Falou, he thinks he can walk straight back into a code after turning his back on us..............yeah there is the door don't let it hit you on the way out buddy.

Yeah he was offered 1million to play next year at Parra, but chose the money in rugby in france which is rumored to worth nearly double that. Who wants a merkin like this in the NRL anyways, he talks the talk about quiting AFL and its not about the money then he does the complete opposite and chases the money in rugby. No wander sheedy and GWS looked perplexed and caught of guard by Falou's decision to leave GWS, Parra have that same feeling atm.

He was not shown the door by Parra but everything the ARLC and schubert did during this negotiation basically did show him the door, thank god Parra is not spending 1 million on this bloke he is not worth 1million.
