I think that's where I stand when I think of Franklin too. He seems to polarise opinion a bit - some say he's way over rated, others seem to think he can do no wrong. I tend to think of him as a bloke you're always wary of, because on any given day he'll just turn it on, and I don't know if he even quite knows when that's going to be. Just a scary player.

In a recent interview Greg Inglis said he was pretty much a bees dick away from signing with Essendon a few years ago, how do you ****s reckon he would've gone? The fact he was playing for the Storm at the time and that they had a fair few trainings with AFL clubs makes me think he wouldve gone alright, definitely better than Folau

Folau could have done well, he just didn't want to put in. Which is fair enough. Look at Hunt. At first everyone was giving him ****. Now he's lean and a very serviceable player, and at times, a very good player. Mainly because he has the drive and wanted to succeed at AFL.

If Inglis gave a **** he'd have done reasonably well.

Yeah..... kind of an important disclaimer I'd say.

State of origin is brilliant - gets interest, viewers and the crowds. But no one gives a **** about the Paramatta Fish or the Leichhardt Oval ******s or whatever these random suburban teams that have Sheffield Shield crowds.

You do realise that the main basis for that article was Foxtel ratings this year, right?
And that State of Origin hasn't been played yet this year, right?
And that State of Origin isn't even on Foxtel, right?
And that I was just revenge trolling you for all the crowd-related trolling you do in the NRL thread, right?

Actually that's a lie I did know State of Origin isn't on Foxtel. Because it has that Channel 9 guy whose voice fires up whenever a team looks like they may get a try.

"Brad Scott's side has been the worst in the AFL after the 25-minute mark of last quarters this year and last year. North has been outscored in this time by 115 points -- more than Greater Western Sydney (112), Western Bulldogs (96) and Gold Coast (65)."

Pure compassion?

Would have thought being compassionate would have meant not making it public

Surely he could have approached the 13 year old girl privately, rather than making a spectacle

Lol.

Other than exposing the racist pricks, what he's also done is educate a lot of people that calling a black person an "ape" is racist. So many people coming out going "if I can call Medhurst a skunk, and Milne a rat, why can't I call Goodes an ape".

Lack of knowledge of historical connotations is amazing.

Gotta love Jono Brown. Argues his contact was "incidental" and not deliberate. He turns his head to look at the bloke's melon, then plants his forearm across it. Brilliant.

It doesn't matter if you are a school teacher, a doctor or even the president of my football club I will not tolerate racism, nor should we as a society. Im extremely disappointed with Eddie's comments and do not care what position he holds, I disagree with what came out his mouth this morning on radio. To me Eddie's comments are reflective of common attitudes that we as a society face. To me Australia is very casual with racism, I would argue that many people in this country would not think what Eddie or the 13yr old girl said last friday is 'bad'. In my opinion race relations in this country is systematically a national disgrace and we have a long way to go to reach a more harmonious and empathetic society.
