Leniu v Thurston

[mightyrooster]

OMG, Sampson still full of hypocrisy. She just blamed Spencer for using social media for feeding the story. Is that not what she’s doing in the main media? Is that not what she did last night through the normal media, before seeing all the facts? Such double standards.

If Nine cameras were there, you’d have to say Thurston would have been mic’d up or at least holding a microphone. Until Nine releases the footage and audio, you’d be believing that Spencer is eetswa

I hope Nine don't get the ABC's Four Corners production staff to edit the footage and audio. We could end up with anything. Just ask Heston.

Did she really MR. She is beyond lame. They have her on the big sports breakfast for god knows why previewing the upcoming round every Thursday morning, she knows little, and tips every favourite.

And talks like an AI generated bot computer help desk recording when asked any question. Feeding what story? The one she's making a big deal about? Without her nonsense there is no story. And I hope the Robbo haters watched his press conference where he defended Spencer to the hilt, and put it all back on the joke media. He was excellent, and he owned them.

If the NRL tries to punish him I want the club to go scorched earth.

Oh you want to fine him? He won’t be paying it and we will sue you if you take it out of our grant.

oh you want to suspend him? Well he will be suited up and taking the field regardless against the panthers. So you can either force the entire team to forfeit or shove it up your arse.

there is absolutely no way known he should be punished for simply having an argument with a the grown ****ing adult

I just saw the footage of Leniu & Thurston.
No audio just vision.
Spencer in the footage appears to be saying a lot more than what Thurston is. Personally I think Spencer should move on, its been more than 12 months.
There is a lady standing almost in between them, I wonder who she is?

That was Ben Dobinson from Triple M. He’s a noted Broncos fan with close links to Maguire. He spoke like a fan rather than a journo. Tune in to triple m today to listen to the bake he’ll get from James Graham

and it was the first question ffs.

i like jt but seems like you can't fault spence for what went down. jt had a right to say what he said about spence's sentence, spence has a right to call him a ****ing ****.

Last year Latrell Mitchell verbally attacked Braith Anasta in a restaurant. I know it didn’t happen during a game but was the media calling for his head back then?

I enjoyed the altercation. And from what I've read in comments most people did, non-Chooks fans too.

Thurston overreached with that comment about a longer suspension. He's a dumb ass. Great player but a nothing analyst. And has had plenty to say about the Chooks on multiple occasions. I get the feeling Robbo isn't a fan of his either.

Good on you Spence. Nice post script to an epic victory when I thought we were going to get whipped.

More info from Braith, who spoke to some of the players - says Thurston kept badgering Leniu for an interview with him: https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/i-...e8381e7661c9b7

She basically said he should not have got on social media fanning the flames. The point she forgets is the media had already made up their mind HE was responsible for any drama which may have occurred. They had already made their mind up he was guilty. So why shouldn’t he have his say? I also thought Brandy handled her inane questions to the panel well. He just said there would no doubt be a lot of players out there not happy with what various commentators have critiqued them on over the years. It’s surprising more haven’t had their say over time. His and Meninga’s only criticism was that it happened in a public place. Also, I agree completely, Robbo was brilliant the way he dealt with the journos biased questioning. I can’t believe some posters were saying last night he should have offered no comment. He clearly knew what had gone down.

JT has just come out and commented on the incident, he has confirmed the roosters version of events is correct. He doesn't appear to upset or interested in taking it further, but happy to chat to roosters and spencer in private if they want. Was actually OK about it. Nothing to see here, let's move on.

[Eggspert]

Did Thurston make a peep when his buddy was full of drugs & drove unlicensed & crashed his car & put a young girl in hospital

He got 9 weeks!!!! Only 1 more week for that word compared to a real life & death situation.

Why didn't Thurston demand 12 weeks for that? ....seriously it's just sickening with the hypocrisy.

[Swamptrout]

In hindsight are we even sure he called him monkey?

He might've called him junkie
