You can hold an opinion, even state it, however if you do so publicly like he did and especially in the fashion that he did, then get ready for the backlash. It came across as a mysogenistic attack rather than a genuine critique.
It was the way he said it. There was a condescending nastiness to it. He was swearing, he attacked the competition in a sexist way...it was unecessary.
Albenese has no idea what is going on. Legends indeed.
They peaked at the last world cup and it is looking downhill from now, aging roster no good talent coming through the last one was Fowler and she looks to have the weight of the country on her shoulders, then there's Kerr 32 this year and taking forever to get over the ACL questions remain if she will ever get back to her best, all the signs of a team going backwards.
I agree, that was their peak. So why are they celebrated? They arent very good.
Looks to me that kids love them and can relate because they play the game, their likes flow through to their parents creating a snowball effect in popularity doesn't seem to matter how they are going on the field but you would think the novelty would wear off if they don't turn it around in a couple of years.
Is the issue that it's his opinion or that his opinion was offensive to (apparently) a latge group of people?
People that listened to his show knew what they were listening to.
And what is offensive?
I thought he was hard done by....he trod a fine line and I think lost the plot a little, but its a funny (not haha funny) old world we live in these days
Well, I suppose offensiveness is determined by the society and culture of the time? In some parts of the world it is offensive to show affection in public and in others it isn't. In some parts of the world Marty wouldn't have been questioned about his comments, Liesel Jones wouldn't have a job in radio and a woman's soccer team wouldn't be allowed to be so important to any section of society.
Are they still popular or is it just the media saying they are? I feel like there was huge support during the world cup but are they still relevant?
The last friendlies they played in Aus still produced large crowds most of them young fans and their parents, the support is still there but don't know how long that will last if they keep getting beaten, they look like a team in decline.
We've counted at least five major issues boiling away in the background that must be some sort of distraction for rookie coach Benji Marshall. In no particular order, they are:
A stoush between current and former board members that threatens to end up in the Supreme Court
A push to ease veteran prop David Klemmer out of the clubFormer player Jordan Miller's legal action following his sacking for failing to turn up at training on timeAn arm wrestle with the NRL over whether centre Justin Olam can be medically retired, potentially freeing up $1 million in salary cap spaceThe fight to convince gun playmaker Lachlan Galvin the club has a future before he goes to the open market on November 1
Have we missed anything? Marshall, as his fights to prove he has what it takes to lead a club, has enough on his plate without dealing with these off-field dramas coming across his desk.
As James Graham told Triple M: "The Tigers play a lot of teams (early) that didn’t play finals last year. It’s the Eels next week, the Dolphins away the following week, the Warriors at home and then the Broncos before the Knights again. It's a favourable start for Benji's second year in charge. There's no such thing as an easy game but you'd look to build off that (draw). It’s important they get their game management right and look to close out and win tight games."
