If you really loved Australia you would respect and fully embrace

I think “If you really loved Australia you would respect and fully embrace” OUR National Anthem.

Are we not all Australians, or only some of us, or only on certain occasions.

If the indigenous players do not want to sing the National Anthem - then they should stay in the sheds until the Anthem has been sung - that way they won’t be disrespectful to the Athem or offensive to the majority of Australians that DO respect it.

It’s not OUR national anthem and excludes an important part of our community.

When we have one then we can expect all Australians to respect it

Who’s National Anthem is it? Iceland, Ukraine, Brazil…?

You say " it excludes an important part of our community" how? is that community you speak of Australians or not?

And while you are on your high horse you might like to ponder a couple of facts.

This community did not just miraculously appear here … they came and they took, just the same as the first white settlers did.

The stolen generation was also white as well as black.

Australians (through our PM / Government (at the time) said SORRY to all the indigenous people of this land.

When is it going to be enough???

Obviously not until everyone that is not termed indigenous leaves these shores and takes all our 212 year history and material rubbish with us.

However - you cannot change the past … your solution is what??

this ‘division’ is created by neo Marksists e.g. the BLM, and Aboriginals are used as their convenient PC vehicle. Under their sheepskin, the BLM has a totally different agenda and will sacrifice Aboriginals faster than you can say AOC!

@TillLindemann said in Coronavirus Outbreak:

According to worldometer, almost half a million new cases globally, in the last 24 hours alone!

Actually cracked it today with 504k plus and no doubt multiples more cases and deaths of which we are unaware, that will be estimated when the worst of this virus has passed us.

Further to your other post, I have also been keeping an eye on the huge exponential weekly growth in Europe, including Belgium. That country was already hit very hard during the extremely deadly initial wave and despite many people having already been infected from then until a week ago, on average 15,304 people, being 1 in 758 odd of their citizens have tested positive each and every day of the past seven. Meaning that 1 in 108 of the entire population this last week alone is a known new infection and it will be impossible to contact trace and isolate such numbers.

when you are cherry-picking, why don’t you try Taiwan?

But we had a few plodders e.g. Sironens (I still think they are both plodders ), and somehow they are promoted to ‘very good players’?? Does this mean a plodder may become ‘a player’, if he leaves the WT?

Ex plodder Curtis Sironen …but is a good question …how do you un plodderize yourself …if we can find the answer …stop looking for COVID cure …look for Plodder cure perhaps

certainly, our learned ‘tea leaves readers’ will know?

Retire. Look at Braith, he went from a plodder to one of the foremost experts on everything.

The only thing I remember of Bwaith is that goal, after Heighington’s brain explosion.

@AJ1 said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:

I can’t believe the lack of love for Mansour, he was one of Penrith’s most consistent and hard working backs. He would put most of our players besides Nofo to shame

IMHO, we had a similar player - Fanua.
Unfortunately, his defence has the same/similar issues as Nofoaluma. Also, in attack, he is not faster then AJ or Talau.

@insideman said in JAC:

JAC will be announced after the Grand Final with the Tigers. Also Edene Gebbie is on our radar and I think he has agreed to join.

So what day is this getting announced?

Today?

Tomorrow?

Never?
probably a better choice would be between:

1. distant future;
2. never, never;
3. unknown;

@Jedi_Tiger said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:

how can the dogs sign
JAC
Burton
Crichton
Yeo

do we just hold off for 2022 and sign a Yeo, but will he be as good outside of Penrith system.

how can the dogs get all these players and we come up with duck egg every time

According to a few people on this forum, that is because ’they play finals every year’

Interesting! Can ‘Sleepy’ Joe really do that?
