Indigenous Round

[Mad_Rooster_in_GraceLand]

One positive to me is that it makes us realise how many talented players are indigenous. Fifita surprised me for some reason (for example).

I don't actually like the all stars game because it's blacks v whites (essentially). The indigenous team generally win but it could easily be an exhibition where we see a bunch of poms and white players beating up the black players (and making them look silly by doing so). IMO it has potential to be really ugly... also it kinda suggests that black and white Australians are against each other (rather than cooperating and being on the same team). I just don't like it.

One of your worst man considering a lot of players drawn to play in all stars team over the years are from NZ or have pacific islander or kumul heritage.

Also the idea for the game was the brainchild of a indigenous player and now leader in the community Preston Campbell and the indigenous community got behind the game.

My favourite indigenous Roosters are Beetso, Andrew Walker, Larpa Stewart, Matty Sing & Salvo.

In the words of his own mother "Not even a fingernail".

This all started quite a few years back because Artie had discovered Jake and a reporter misquoted something he said (yes, I know hard to believe! ) and for some reason the myth stuck. It's Ben Jones who has the indigenous background, not Jake.

Apologies. I knew I had heard it before though.

No but Jake does like a beer.

What are you insinuating with that comment?

Not at all really. I won't take the bait.

[Guest]

Bait? You wrote it. What does it mean? Simple question.

You obviously understand it so you must know what I am insinuating.

No but Jake does like a beer.

This is an extremely questionable comment

This round is about celebrating Indigenous players in the NRL. Idiotic, moronic and racist comments are not necessary.
