Club Statement: Spencer Leniu - Leniu enters Guilty Plea

[Vasco]

He should've denied it. The world is going to sh1t.

Mate he said it. Why would he deny it? That's weak.

He had to put his hand up and cop it on the chin.

Hopefully he learns from it and it motivates him to have a big year.

[Bondicigar]

I think it's kinda ironic that he's the only guy who's come out and said this. Not usually a voice of reason, but he's indigenous and passionate about stamping out racism.

TBH only Brisbane and Latrell are asking for an overly harsh punishment at the moment. IMO most others are either bound by corporate duties or simply don't want to get involved as they don't wanna be part of a shyte fight.

IMO there's probably a lot of Polynesian/indigenous boys out there quietly thinking 'come on Mam you farking idiot!!! That's such a dog move to call him a racist, claim you were sobbing about it all night and the push for an OTT punishment!!! You're committed now so we get it that you can't back-out... however, you no longer have our protection on-field if a heap of Polynesian boys decide to target you'.

Have you heard the story about the goose, the gold fish , monkey and the koala bear

[Paddo Colt 61]

I read that Chris Minns said that...what a disgraceful, pathetic thing to say. Too scared to call out an indigenous person for being racist against white people.

No too scared to call out an "icon" elevated to the stratosphere by our banal MSM. There wouldn't be a lot of votes in challenging the punters' emotions.

Knowing the way the NRL think, you can almost guarantee his first game back will be round 9 against the Broncos

[Carlos Parra]

I stand corrected. I reckon I'm not the only person who thought that. I remember her running around at the Olympics waving an indigenous flag. Have a look at all the roles her now in prison brother had with various indigenous bodies back in his west coast days. Keep your shirt on bro

She definitely knows which gravy train to ride on.

[The Marshall]

It deserved...nothing. He was in a private home doing nothing illegal or committing a crime and was filmed by an opportunist seeking his moment of notoriety. It's probably the biggest bungle the NRL has ever presided over.

100% agree

[King Salvo]

The Judiciary hearing will be on Monday Evening 11th March 2024

Maybe the Roosters should hire a professor of English who can provide a history of the usage of this word. i.e Stop Monkeying Around / Get the Monkey of the Back - Calling someone a Monkey may mean the person is a naughty or mischievous person or imitative child.

It worked for the Sex Pistols back in the day - represented by QC John Mortimer of Rumpole of the Bailey Fame. - Professor Kingsley, head of English Studies at local Nottingham University was the English Language expert they used - Also a Priest. Providing a history of the usage of the word Bollocks

[QUOTE=Bondicigar;n1040890]Spencer should have said he called him a donkey. Then it's a compliment...


Or Marquee

Can we just have a moment to think about Latrell, poor guy got absolutely destroyed by Mundine today.. Latrell prob confused on what to do or respond with cos the racist card isn’t there to be played.

[Funky Chicken]

Mam was crying in the sheds because he knows what an abysmal, piss poor game he played against us......and Billy Walters supported him to distract from the fact he jizzed his pants when manicured eyebrows scored to make it 14-10. Broncos as a whole are a bunch of arrogant, FIGJAM, won nothing muppets!!!

[Rocky Rhodes]

I'm absolutely convinced what Spencer said to Ezra, was not racists but just a plain insult..

What is Racism? Racism is basically belittling someone, putting them down based on some aspect /trait of that persons race/ culture.

Fact 1: Ezra is an Aboriginal person
Fact 2: The origin of Monkeys is in Asian/ Africa...Asia includes places like India. Monkeys also have origins in Central Americans countries.

So is there a link between Aborigines & Monkeys? Nope, None...there is no link or association between Aborigines and Monkeys.
So if Ezra is called a monkey, how is that belittling his race/ culture when monkeys have zero to do with his culture.
Someone like the cricketer H Singh is different...monkeys have origin in India. So to call Singh a monkey IS racist...belittling him & his culture/race based on something in his culture.

Calling an islander a coconut IS racists because it is belittling someone based on some aspect /trait of that culture.
If someone would call my white European ass a Coconut, is that racist? No..I'm not an islander and it doesn't affect me whatsoever...that's just a dumb inappropriate insult.

If i were to call Ezra a goose, is that racist? No...there is no goose trait/ link between him and his culture/race. It's just an insult...not racist.

In conclusion: Ezra been called a monkey is not racist, it's just a personal insult because Aborigines have no link/ association with monkeys...not part of their culture.

Used to be an American band formed in the mid 60's called the Monkees. So were all the female fans screaming out "Monkees" to them racist?

We can indeed. It's new territory for him. I guess Leniu not being white, it was heading there anyway, but he still had to pull the card out. Against Mundine he has...nothing.

Mitchell is amongst the lowest of dogs. He is the ultimate racist.
