SQUAD v MANLY

Ok fine...I also hope then you will stand up for the 7 players who are a bit different themselves, and could equally now be considered underdogs.

Your second para is rather lunaticky.

yeah i would, dessie got it absolutely right in his press conference today - they should have been consulted at the very least.

Why aren’t the seven players standing against the gambling and alcohol advertisements plastered all over their shirts? It’s a no-no in most religions.

that's also true

[Water boy]

We're gayer than Aids if we dont win this .........it's a joke !!

Hey hey hey AIDS dosnt just affect the gays…don’t forget the fully vaccinated!

[King Salvo]

If we don't win by 30 I will be disappointed. We should win by 50. great to see wokeness backfire, and religious minorities stand up to it. No one is excluded from footy for being gay, the only one I know of who was excluded was because he dared to express religious views which called homosexuality sinful. It's not only minorities who have rights.

What about a Vegan who signs for the Roosters who refuses to wear the jersey as it has Steggles on it - would that be okay too as well as you said minorities have rights

Drinking and gambling are not against natural law and sinful in Christianity. They can be taken to excess for sure as most things can, but in and of themselves they are not. However, sodomy is always against natural law and sinful.

It sure ain't in the Christian religions! Father Kelly loved a punt and a sip as much as anyone.

It's kind of strange to see peoples views on LGBTIQ+ folk when the team they follow are based in the LGBTIQ+ capital of Australia - The Eastern Suburbs of Sydney

SQUAD v MANLY

Well, I'm trying not to get too excited about our prospects, but I've really enjoyed what I've seen in the last 2 weeks. We are playing a style that looks to be working, and I just love having Kez back on the left. I'm even warming to Lodge ... he has added some extra starch to the middle that can only help us going forward.

Collins & Joey back this week, and that just adds another dimension to our side. I'm hoping for another solid win this week to consolidate our position in the 8. Our attack is starting to look *so* much better, and having Joey back just adds so much. Teddy ran for 317m last week, with 10 tackle busts. He currently tops the table for the most line breaks in 2022 with 120, with Joey second on 100. Teddy also sits second for running metres with 3664 metres at 215 per game, behind Dylan Edwards (3992).

Manly have confirmed the 7 players (Josh Aloiai, Jason Saab, Christian Tuipulotu, Josh Schuster, Haumole Olakau’atu, Tolutau Koula and Toafofoa Sipley) will NOT play on Thursday night. I always get nervous when something like this happens. We will now be unbackable favourites, and the setting is ripe for an ambush. I bloody hope not.

GO EASTS !!

Ola out for them is big, he can set the pace and come up with big moments. Collins back in for us, makes that even more in our favour.

Will be very disappointed if we don’t dominate in the forwards.

no … they have a choice to believe in something that has no proof..homosexuality is not a choice…

I do t even think it is a religious belief from them , they’re just homophobes like yourself

[Eggspert]

One would think there are LGBTIQ+ folk in pacific island countries too though and Polynesian ?

mmm has a match squad post ever been closed - I can see this happening pretty soon.

Why would it be closed? All comments as long as they are respectful & not hateful are valid.

Respectful freedom of speech is still legal in Australia is it not? Different views are still allowed are they not?

What a stupid comment.... you really are desperate. If the vegan wouldn't wear the jersey, he would never play for the club. I would support his right to stick to his beliefs, just as I support the players whose religious beliefs are contrary to homosexuality. They have rights, and I think their beliefs trump the wokeness of a society trying to force homosexuality down our throats.

What makes you think I'm a homophobe?

[Roosterfarian]

It sure ain't in the Christian religions! Father Kelly loved a punt and a sip as much as anyone.

I bet he also loved some young marrow so probably not a good example mun..

[A Country Member]

I feel for the current gay Polynesian NRL player. Imagine what that player is thinking.

So the Roosters should have Gay fans only? So straight Rooster fans shouldn't have different views?...not sure what your getting at.
