Last time is was down for the 2019 game i went to Wild Duck at Kingston, not cheap but their Balmain Bug dumplings and the Wagu Beef dumplings were great as were all the dishes we had.

The interesting question, is why do the religious tend to focus so much on this particular "abomination"? The Bible names lots of things as abominations ... like eating shellfish for example. Why do we not see religious groups picketing seafood restaurants or posting on social media about the evils of eating Lobster? If it where wholly and solely about the Bible naming homosexuality an abomination, then surely all the other abominations named in the Bible should get equal billing? I can only conclude there is something else to it, beyond the condemnation of the religious texts.

Religious folk are, in the main hypocrites, and that's what gives me the shits. They cherry-pick what bits they want to believe and what they want to ignore. Folau has tattoo's, wears clothing of mixed fabrics, shaves his beard and cuts his hair, and of course, works on Sundays. These are all forbidden by the same Bible that he quotes when condemning gays, adulterers and thieves.

Lastly, he is not being excluded because of his faith. Many of the Islanders in the NRL are strongly religious, and no-one has a problem with that. He got into trouble because he used his position and profile to publicly criticize a minority who already have tremendous problems with social acceptance, and this is potentially harmful. He quite possible also broke anti-discrimination laws in the process, and went back on his word to not post such garbage after he was called out on it the first time. Hypocrisy.

Saturday is the seventh day and thus the holy day. Not sunday but I take your point, he still works any of those days however, after Sundown on the Sabbath its allowed so if it is Satuday, for the most part, Sat games are at night so he is ok. Just not Friday nights as its from Sundown the day before as well! Mind blown hey!

Yes there are others in the comp with all different views about that issue however if his only indiscretion is to believe they will go to hell, that's the least of their worries as certain other religions follwed by some players would have them decapitaed for the lifestyle. Israel is harmless compared to others imo.

Sport and Politics shouldn't mix they say but it does

Exactly the need for this thread. Izzy is a mighty fine footy player and should be allowed to ply his trade like anyone else skillful enough to do so.

You are you chose my comment to respond to Then when Ive mentioned that my comment was tame Does not take any side on the matter and demonstrably shown that Yiu still choose to respond again pointing the finger at me. If the mods dont want this thread and think it is inappropriate then they can close it down. Until then just like everyone else is doing on this thread I will post what I like when I like. If you dont like it then I am afraid you get go and get ......

YES indeed this really is a cracking thread and has set a cat amongst the pigeons This place is alive again Well done RT

Thanks AW but I honestly had no idea it would go in the direction it has. I hope people on here, especially as Roosters fans, can keep their ideas on all topical matters in this thread as just that, their own and keep the commonality here in their love for the Roosters first and foremost.

Still would love to see Izzy in RWB. Make it happen Nick!!!

[rented tracksuit]

Yeah, Walker’s comments were fairly prosaic. Seems an odd one to call out.

Agreed.

I heard Brett Kelly's off contract... sign him up?

Stop pretending you want to sign Folau.
Where would you play him anyway? Who misses out?

Im interested as to why he chose my comment to respond to. I notice it was removed. It was tame and Ive given no inclination to what side if any Ive taken on this. If you actually think that Israel being granted that piece of land has not caused instability in the Middle east then you are the ignorant one and are blinded by your faith. As I also said what were they supposed to do say NO we dont want it because it will upset people.

Of course Israel being where it belongs causes instability in the region. It’s a wealthy country surrounded by third world countries. Jealousy killed the cat....and Israel’s neighbors.

i'm glad i don't live in israel. can't be easy living in a region where your very existence isn't accepted by your neighbours. if iran gets a nuclear bomb it'd be on. if some terrorists get a dirty bomb it'd be on.

you look at what's happened to the jews throughout history and you've got to support their right to a country.

also glad i'm not palestinian. not easy for them either. don't think there's an easy solution but you can only hope that they sort things out

Center in place of JMoz. Could even play on the wing for Bmoz. These boys are awesome but when you have a strike weapon like Folau, many positions could be covered.

Ascmuch as I would love to see it happen, it won’t but he should still be able to play somewhere in the NRL.

Now stop pretending you don’t think he should play.

... I’d rather be an Israeli than a Palestinian .. try living under an Apartheid regime for the last 80 + years...

Try switching off Sky News...

Thanks for quoting me Jack gives me an opportunity to get another reply up . Stuffed toy you say . Hope its not made in China

What do I get for 5,000 posts? I already have a Freddy's 5,000 T-shirt which I refuse to part with even though it's not fit to wear anymore. Amanda Keller came into my shop a lot back in those days and we both had ours on and she asked me if I was one of his 5,000 girlfriends.

I could drum up 78 David Bowie songs easily in his RIP thread..
