Khod Hand Investigation

[old_man_tiger]

What most seem to be ignoring with regard Hand Gesture-Gate is the racial element. Had Adam Doueihi and Alex Twal been the players in question I don’t see much drama. Yet we had players of non Arabic heritage using an Arabic hand gesture to say “up yours” to a group of fans with Arabic heritage. This adds a racially mocking dimension to the episode. Imagine a trio of white dudes mimicking spear throwing at an aboriginal section of the crowd etc ...

As for comments about Bulldog fans deserving it. Trouble there is you can’t lump them all in together. Some Canterbury fans carry on like pork chops but others are fine.

Anyway, no one died. Hopefully our boys have learnt a lesson with regards cultural sensitivities and we all move on 👍

Nonsense....I grew up in Sydney and we all taught each other these little things from each other's cultures. Khod is one of the things i laugh hardest at when I see an anglo or Asian do it properly. The "kh" is hard to say lol
Samuela Fainu apologised during the week and gave more context and it was something 99% of dogs fan would accept.
By the way we have had many more lebanese players and a lot of diverse fans. The dogs fans do not represent Arabs mate, the are fans of a footy team that's it. They can all khod if they aren't tigers, if this footage made it to Lebanon 75% of people under 30 would become tigers fans in Beirut lol

Shouldn’t be surprising with his track record.

As one of my favourite forum owners once said: “Feel free to start your own damn site”

Always been a huge fan 🤣

Except when I wasn't 2022-2024.

Genuinely happy to see him find some form though, and hoping it continues!

Here we go with twisting everything into racism. They want to bring their culture to mock us, but we can't mock them in the language they understand...sorry mate...so far off it's not funny. You must work in HR? Or the government...

Your the only one talking about racism.

Where did ‘they’ mock our culture? They are full blooded rugby league fans for heavens sake - I would have thought that’s fully embracing our way.

Re’ my occupation, you’re so far off it’s not funny

Nothing in it, loved the celebration! Sets up a blockbuster with the dogs in 2026, they will be giving it to us at Homebush

That’s a bit negative. I think we’ll be far stronger than you give us credit for

You've not read my post correctly judging by your response. Including my sarcastic dig at your occupation.

No idea as usual.

Pity some of the clowns in the media don't have some sensitivities towards the Wests Tigers and their supporters.
