That's really poor by Naden, and I hate when players have a go at another team's fans like we did today. I always prefer to celebrate rather put other teams down, and to me that looks extremely immature and a bit pathetic. But I dunno, young people these days seem different and showboating and carrying on is all the rage.

It’s Seppo BS. Mixed in with the new age bro/influencer culture. All the wannabe profoundness that you hear from chodes like Joe Rogan, yet the old adage about staying humble no longer exists.
 
I don't know what they are upset at. "Once a Bulldog always a Bulldog" isn't it? I noticed Twal gave them the Khod too, so it can't be racist as some have claimed elsewhere.

Yeah agree.
Players should keep it towards the opposition players...i dont like players having a go at rhe fans that said i think our blokes copped a fair bit yesterday from dogs fans in the s/e corner....
In WTs gear too ...no doubt 360 will use this and the other footage after the final try

I don't mind it ink. It is sport with emotions. As long as it doesn't cross the line, I love players releasing some emotion whether against players or fans. Builds for strong rivalries. Plenty of birds flicked by players to the crowd back in the day. But I guess we live in a woke society now where we just try to breed robots.

From the reports i have seen it was pretty constant and every bit as bad as what the tigers did - typical dogs fans - love dishing it out but cry foul when the tables are turned.
 
I knew we would still get bad press even after such a great win.
I was at the game and the Dogs fans were giving it to the players as were we. It is nothing and to say it was directed at 9 year old children like News.com has said is absolute BS.

Luai had a chant of being a wanker from the dogs fans along with boos for Lloyd Christmas from our fans, do we just play in empty stadiums and watch from home with no emotions...

There were more Dogs fans there yesterday and they were louder apart from when our ground announcer chanted "Tigers" to drown them out.

Benji said in the Press conference that they could write something good for a change alas they chose this garbage.

Great Win and enjoy the BYE and back for the Sea Eagles and then a packed Leichhardt for the Cowgirls.
 
If no one is clear what the hand gesture means then no issue there.

We can easily say it meant something else.

I don't have any issues with any player giving it to the fans tbh as long as it's not personal insult.

We all know that our team isn't professional, it plays with passion and when there isn't passion (80% Of games), we play shit.

The Club needs to show that we back our players. Just like Sticky did in LA. Internally, tell them it's not good, but publicly just say that they were passionate and we encourage them to be passionate.

It's interesting that Canterbury Club have raised this complaint, not the NRL.. they want this rivalry. They want dogs fans to hate the Tigers to sell tickets to their next home game.

Agreed - undeserved showboating is cringeworthy but a player giving it to the crowd who have been giving it to him all game is play on in my books. Even being on the receiving end as a fan, it adds to the live experience being able to respond back face to face.

As long as lines aren't crossed its great theatre.
 
I remember being at the Dogs/Parra prelim in 09. At one point in the game, Hayne made a try saving cover tackle, but it went to the video ref because there may have been foul play. I remember during the replays when it become evident that Hayne hit the Dogs player high, one lunatic Dogs fan, tuned a few rows back to a guy in a Parra jersey who was minding his own business, and gave him the slit throat gesture. They are utter scumbags.
