Tallis on the footy show

[Furious1]

On Triple M, he explained that the difference between his fight with Ross and Gallen's with Myles was that he had a problem with Ross and dealt with it immediately. You don't have to agree with him, I'm just providing his reasoning.

He was then questioned about Tate punching Bird (in 2012) who was being held down in a tackle by two Queenslanders. His response: "But it's Bird."

Hypocrisy at its best.

Yeah, you know the guy who glassed a woman then tried to blame it on a mate? yeah that Greg Bird. Tate could have had barbed wire wrapped around his fist and it would have been fine in my book.

Origin is a funny beast, we'll align ourselves with the grubbiest human beings on the planet as long as they are wearing the right coloured jersey and justify the behaviour any way we can. People were even kissing Ennis' arse when he played.

**See, you're still missing Tallis' sound logic.** If Tate had a problem with Bird glassing his girlfriend, he should have driven directly to his house and laid one on him. How dare he wait until Origin.

Kissing Ennis' arse? I almost bought a maroon jersey. You've got to love how the name "Ennis" does not even cross the coaches mind anymore.

Am i? With the Greg Bird comment he's implying that the guy is a grub. You disagree?

Didn't Myles discharge his bowel in somebody's motel? That equals grub in my book and therefore in the same category as Bird and also fair game

I was agreeing with his implication that Bird is a low life grub. Clearly others disagree

I 100% agree that Bird is a piece of shite and have stated it many times before. Inglis is also a missus-beating bastard so when Trent Barrett belted him a few years ago I wonder if Gordie woulda laughed that one off as "it's Greg Inglis"?
Anyone who is a dirty dog on the field (Myles, Bird, Cameron Smith etc) and gets whacked in return, well that is the sweetest thing to see. Should be more of it.

No doubt it was a dirty, grubby, filthy act. but he was pissed. Is that as bad as glassing a defenseless woman?

To put it into perspective, if you had two people, one of them did what Myles did in your house, and another guy glassed your wife or daughter, who would you seriously have more sadistic thoughts about? Not saying Myles isn't a grub but at least he didn't hurt anyone.

So was Robert Lui….is that a valid excuse?

It is possible to be absolutely blind and not have to resort to flogging a woman or using someones favourite carpet as a porta-potty.
Greg Bird was probably having a few when he did what he did also, same for Inglis.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

My point is there are levels of grubbiness and guys like Bird, Inglis and Lui are higher on the grub scale than Myles.

 

[Fade_To_Black]

Agree. But Myles got what was coming to him as well so it's a win-win situation.

I dream of a world where we can hate a player without people complaining that its purely because of the jumper they wear.

So its just a coincidence that people from New South Wales thought there was nothing wrong with what Gallen did, and people north of the border thought it was a dog act? Lol righto

Its Origin, plenty of QLD fans on here said they were fine with it being left on the field.

I hated Gallen for years, even when he was in a blue jersey. The tide turned and he cut out most of the crap. I always hated Ennis as a blue, always.

**This catch all statement you make every single time about only supporting players because they are on a certain team isn't the world beating argument you think it is.**

Because you say so? funny, you're the only one who ever seems to take umbrage with that view.

So it is a world beating argument?

Instead of arguing the merits you just assert (incorrectly) that anyone who disagrees is just being bias. What sort of dialogue is that? That we couldn't possibly believe something without it being because we support them?

Its a tiresome, pointless and ultimately ignorant argument. Just argue the points without using this tired old (incorrect) viewpoint.
