There is no bigger grub in the game

[happy_tiger]

What difference does that make in the big scheme of things???

.Christ!

It might to Slater if he has broken curfew Ink

Didn't Sheens mention he was disappointed that he was out at that time

What I meant was –what difference does it make if he remembered he forgot his jacket 2 minutes after leaving, or at 2am at home watching TV

shouldve quoted....

If they were leaving the next day perhaps it was the last chance of getting what he lost

May have had some sentimental value

My point was that the he has the right to get his stuff whenever he choses , doesn't he ??

And Simon is right , you slap ,hit ,punch kick someone is the head you've got to be prepared to wear whatever the other bloke decides to hand out

 

[innsaneink]

No….thats not right

 

[happy_tiger]

No….thats not right

Of course it's not ,the World according to Ink

And what isn't right Ink ??

 

[innsaneink]

There is a 4 hour cut off period for forgotten jackets

 

[innsaneink]

LOL you'd lost sight of the fact we were actually in agreeance

:roll

 

[happy_tiger]

There is a 4 hour cut off period for forgotten jackets

That rule only applies if you are in your own time zone and the jacket is double breasted and blue

IMO Slater over reacted. Not a hanging offence by any means, but an over reaction that could have went pear shaped.

Things could have panned out very differently, other blokes could of jumped in, the bloke he punched might be able to really throw them, he could have severely injured the other bloke, and he very nearly injured the innocent by standing girl as it was…..

The other guy gets no sympathy from me for getting whacked, as other have said, you push a guy in the face, you may face consequences.

but as my mum always said, 2 wrongs dont make a right.,

Gently shoved haha

If the ''gentle shove'' doesnt occur….the incident doesnt occur

The gentle part was Slater trying to calm the situation in the first place.....**but carry on with your agenda**

There is no agenda. Why is it that you yourself can have an OPINION on something, but for other people their opinion is suddenly an agenda?

The incident can be viewed from many perspectives.**..if Slater doesn't try to push in line as has been reported then the incident doesn't occur in the first place.**

How are you certain that Slater was trying to calm the situation…just because he has his hands gently on the bloke. Could it be that he was also saying "shut up or I will shut you up"?

The bloke lashes out for no apparent reason in full view of a bouncer who may well kick the crap outta him for doing so, ever thought that maybe there was a reason for him doing it? No-one knows for certain what occurred except for those two, bit ambitious to assume who was at fault without knowing what was said in the lead-up.

Theyd already been in the club, were leaving…Slater forgot his jacket, wanted to retrieve it, I assume hes trying to explain calmly to the bloke what his intentions were, the cctv points to all this as a logical scenario...body language tells a lot

Youve already mentioned ''hate''.....not too much of a stretch to assume theres an agenda as well....

**Hating someone you dont even know...fancy that**


Move over Oprah and Dr Phil, there is a new kid in town :unamused:

Perhaps a wee bit of karma for young Bill overnight in the Old Dart.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

It was about as controlled a response that the situation deserved. He cops a palm to the side of the face. Was he going to stand there and see what the follow up was? He put one shot on him to diffuse the danger and left it at that.

An overreaction would have been to go on with it after the bloke had been felled.

There appears to be some angels on this forum who never put a foot out of line but I can say I would have reacted the exact same way as Billy given the circumstances.

Its amazing how ignorant people are. They see someone carry on like a wank on the footy field and automatically assume that they are grubs off it. I can think of 1 particular player who is supposedly one of the nicest guys you could ever meet off the field who donates a lot of time to charities. Do you know who this guy is? Michael Ennis. Yes that same Michael Ennis who is considered one of the biggest slime balls in the NRL, yet look at him off the field.

The moral of the story is, you're off your head if you presume to know a player and his personality away from the field.

Yes it is amazing how ignorant people are. Ennis and Slater the masters of abusing people but of course they are nice guys off the field..lol

If Ennis is such a supposedly nice guy why did Robbie Farah refuse to sit next to him on a plane trip…Why did Hindmarsh call Ennis nothing but a grub on TV days after the event. Yeah they are both nice blokes Ennis and Slater.
What sort of nice bloke abuses someone about his depression two years in a row. What disgusting [This word has been automatically removed] things did he say to Graham to force him to do something out of character.

Have a talk to Robbie Farah and see what he knows of Slater and Ennis.

The moral of the story is a grub on the field more than likely equals a grub in reaL LIFE.

Fate has done what the team management should have.
Slater should not have been allowed to play after his complete overreaction.

 

[happy_tiger]

So using your logic Irvine most cricketers must be grubs as well

What happens on and off the field are two completely different kettles of fish

If you aren't professional enough to cop a sledge now and then you honestly shouldn't be out here because it is a part of professional sport whether you like it or not

A lot of people need to put their Qld hatred aside and look at this as it truly is

If he was a normal Joe Schmo you wouldn't care in the least ,but he is Billy Slater a person who early in his career did some silly stuff

Notice how no one brings up the David Williams situation in a game that was just fireworks galore he has the calmness to know that a serious injury had possibly occurred and treats it accordingly

That's how I judge a man , when it really counts

 

[LaT]

Why is it QLD hate?

 

[happy_tiger]

Why is it QLD hate?

Well it not only Qld hate , its the fact he kicked Skando as well

So maybe people need to take off their Black ,Gold ,White and Blue glasses

A grub would of back slammed Williams head into ground and plead innocence

Not cradled him until help arrived

A true measure of his worth as a human and a man in my opinion

 

[Irvine]

So because he showed concern when there might have been a spinal injury he gets a free pass to king hit and abuse and ninja kick anyone he feels like.

I know you are old school but to me there is no need to abuse other players on the field under the pretense of professional sport. Sure things happen in the heat of a game but to make sledging and abusing players part of your reputare to me that makes you a grub.

 

[LaT]

If you play like that, and have a long standing history, there is no doubt its a part of your personality, a small part perhaps but its definitely there. No amount of charity work changes that. And not slamming Williams head into the ground certainly doesn't either.

Being from QLD doesn't enter into it, also not sure what being a Tigers fan has to do with it either. I mean if you want to go down that path, that being a NSW fan means you are biased against him, wouldn't that also make being from QLD automatically mean defending him is just your own bias? Really, best to leave that crap out and just judge whats on the field, which is what most are doing.

For what its worth I think Slater is the best fullback I've ever seen play. I used to like him quite a lot, I'm just done with looking past the crap he does.

So Robbie Farah is a grub , he sledges people and will quite openly admit it ??

Just remember I'm using your logic

 

[innsaneink]

Why is it QLD hate?

Insecurity, inferiority complex and low self esteem.

I wouldn't exactly call him an angel though Happy, and his stiff short personality off the pitch is consistent with the kind of player he is on the pitch.

I'd say most players are in this mould. Similar off the Pitch as on.

Notable exceptions would include Braith Anasta and Michael Ennis.

I think the real test of a man happy is the reactionary stuff - what happens when provoked or you think no-one is watching. That shows true character. One would Argue Slaters Charity work etc off the field puts him in the Braith/Ennis Category, but the massive overs punch he through shows me the kind of guy he is. Look at the footage - Slater actually puts his hands on the guy first, (albeit gently) and the guy isn't even looking at Slater when he pushes him away (swats), and then when slater "defends himself" the guy doesn't see it coming.

Difference between Farah and Slater is simple - Slater fails that reactionary test miserably.

Consistently with little niggles, scratches, cheap shots, knees, high kicks, blindside punches. His record for that kind of stuff is pretty bad.

It all depends on how far a sledge goes to hurt - ask Corey Paterson.
