Serious question about NRL's direction

[Raiderdave]

Yes Raider I agree. Xman's clearly engulfed in a very narrowminded environment. No clue whatsoever.

Oh and Xman, I know you havent yet noticed, but Australia is one of the most multicultural nations in the world. Ireland, where gaelic footy and hurling are played, pales in comparison. Pardon the pun.

Maybe you should move there Xman? You might be more at ease?

I was answering Dave's ignorant comment that ARs is the whitest sport on the planet. The two examples I gave show he's wrong as usual. Nice to see you support him in his ignorance though. =D>

gaelic football & hurling are sports played by the caucasian ( white) .. Irish

yep
just reinforces my veiw

[King-Eliagh]

Given the multicultural context of Ireland vis a vis Australia, I think Raiders statement still stands.

Oh and Xman, I'm still waiting on you to acknowledge your guilt in making racist comments in this thread so that you and I may move on

[Xman]

And completely contradicts your original bs statement

[King-Eliagh]

Yes. I'm sorry Xman but you now stand by TLPG, AFL 'Warrior' and cos as the racists of this site. I'm disappointed you couldnt acknowledge your own ignorance in this thread. I really thought you'd be man enough to put your hand up and say "yeah what i said was racist, i didnt really mean it that way but, yes it was a cockup and i now see that what i said was pretty fukkkked up." But i guess you really dont want to, or in your ignorance cant, admit it. Those are the worst racists

No more racist than RL media talking about issues caused by large proportions of junior polynesian players.

Get your hand off it

[eelofwest]

Again you cite the age for weight issue.

This thread and your dumb comments were about the percentage of players in the NRL being a problem. Completely different, and yes, racist.

Got it?

If you meant this issue you have now apparently backpedalled to raise, then fine. But first you should acknowledge your initial comment and the issue you initially raised was, racist. So can you now acknowledge your past comments were racist yet? Or do you want me to quote it for you....again?

Wow if you want to see what desperation looks like in hyper mode.......then this thread is it King........

This is nothing to do with racism and more to do with the structure of our junior leagues and making sure bigger players play in higher/bigger grades.

This thread King has illustrated to us what a stupid/racist bunch of AFL fans we got on this site....... =D>

Bar Pies off course, the only AFL fan on this site that can articulate his views without making himself look like a goose. =D>

Well said! These comments had nothing to do with racism and have even been echoed by the NRL media and players! =D>

The fact that KE tried to turn it into a fight about racism shows what little character he actually has

[Striker]

I have to concur with that. El, you aren't helping our side, mate.

It is a worrying trend that people pull the racist card to stifle debate. The real question here is why does a minority group become so highly represented. The answer is simple body shape and unless the rules are changed then this type of footballer will become more prevalent. It is not racist to point out that the poly guys are made to play modern league . Nor is it racist to say that in the future this will cause league problems the most crucial being participation. If you are pulling 60 percent of your players from 5 percent of the population it doesn't take einstein to work out that the 95 percent not getting a chance might become despondent. This isn't racist just a concern that will take balls to address.

And here we have another doofus who has narrow vision. Pookus, what do you really mean by 'if you are pulling 60% of your players from 5% of the pop'?

I know what you're trying to say but please tell me where the problem lies? If people of polynesian descent are succeeding and getting into the NRL on their own merits, which they are, then who the fukk are you to say this is a "problem"? Their success has occurred organically and has been great for the game.

The age for weight issue is, as I've stated, separate and should not be focussed squarely on polynesian kids. I wonder how large Dave Taylor was at 12?? Probably much bigger than any polynesian in his age division and probably the one above him too.

See now we're talking and noone is being racist. Easy huh. now I am not saying that the race of these guys is a draw back what I am saying is that with all the rule changes turning the league in to the wwf bigger more powerful men are more suited to the game. They have also taken aerobic capacity out as a factor with the interchange making it very hard for smaller nimble players to apply their craft. It has not been organic it is the by product of Ill thought policy. What makes this situation difficult is that the dominant body type in the game is usually contains a polynesian face. The question is how to return the game to a majority of players without being percieved as racist. Dave Taylor is a great example there is no way this big dud would get a go if he had to play any where near 80 no way.
