Gman does a great job on here, I know everyone always see the posts/comments that don’t get removed by I can attest to the ones that do get removed.

His opinions on topics shouldn’t be held against him just because he’s an administrator for the site.

Living O/S and seeing how certain things are treated and handled in different countries make you wonder how we have got to where we are and where we are going with all this crap.

Very true. It is such a culture shock when you compare other cultures with your own. After I returned to Australia for the first time in seven years, the difference smacks you right in the face. I stayed here for about a year and then returned OS where the difference once again hits you.

I don't want to be too critical of Australia or Sydney in particular, but every return I was reminded of how aggressive Australian society is in comparison. Not critical aggression such as in Brazil and similar places, just very much a hustle and bustle and general indifference for others.

To those that disagree that this topic is petty and believe that it is societally and culturally appropriate, why is it a one way street, as I earlier touched on? My parents were called wogs when they went to school in Sydney back in the day. They turned the other cheek, accepted to a degree the wrong pronunciation of their name, and practiced their former homeland's culture and language only at home and at social clubs. Never once as 'new Australians' did they guilt enforce others to speak in a Russian accent or correct them on the pronunciation of the surname.

Loving other cultures is so easy and is one of the most enjoyable things to do. Being told to or nudged to change your ways to suit others is pathetic. Multiculturalism by definition is "a society in which there exists numerous distinct ethnic and cultural groups". Distinct, not identical. Or do you desire monoculturalism, the homogenisation of every manifestation of identity? On a lighter note Australians and New Zealanders are the equal second worst drivers in the world, with Russians a country mile ahead as the worst in the world.

No Mr Bean is a better actor

I think it was Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad.

I still can’t work out how your get ‘Klookstar’ from it?

like CAT was pronounced Dog!

Isn’t it just being polite trying to pronounce someone’s name correctly Runty treckseat?

You tried and failed but it’s not the end of the world.

We need some Irish players in the NRL.

It's always interesting to note the people who make fun of Polynesian names.

You're stretching it a tad far.

All and sundry weren't calling for TRobbo's sacking but rather questioning his ongoing selection of JS in the centres, when it was evident the experiment had to end. Terrible frustrating for us fans because
once he returned to the more comfortable and suitable wing position Joseph was shining again.

Oh it's hilarious how you guys are pretending that you weren't calling for Robinson to get sacked for half of the season.

You baiting for a reply?

Pissed off yes but calling for his sacking....not I Sir, and you know why.....because there's no equal or better alternative to replace him.

His positional experiments frustrated most of us maybe not you.

Flashbacks of Sean Hampstead

[Vasco]

Will be interesting to see how his body fills out in the next few years and whether he becomes too rigid for a backline position.

On a side note, go back and watch his short cameo at fullback against the tigers a few weeks ago. I was at that game and he was frighteningly good with the ball in his hands from that position. Looked confident and tore up the tigers. Might be a sign of things to come albeit against a lower team.

Mate he absolutely carved when he went to fullback. I wouldn't be surprised if he came back in 4 years to play fullback.

You have no connection to the club whatsoever. Stop making it out as if every slightly negative comment is a personal insult to you. Or you could just stick to women’s soccer WanKerr.
