No one should be bashing their wife. Occupation is utterly irrelevant. Also, implying that all rugby players are thick thugs is hugely disrespectful. FFS.

First part is most relevent. The fact this has to be spelled out actually makes me sad.

the 2nd part? Really pisses me off. I fucking hate that generalisation about rugby players. Most especially because I, and pretty much all my friends, played rugby all our lives (until we got too old).

At least we know jags4life never played, helps when judging his "insight"

This is a rugby forum few are interested in off field dramas No one is pro wife bashing

Where have folks got this idea I;m generalising or labelling rugby players as dumb meatheads......

My point was fans rarely give a monkeys about players off the field
Deliver on he field and all is forgiven

Thanks for deducing I never played rugby

I forgot about playing as a teenager it was a while ago but still in the 21st century

@Jaguares4real maybe a bit more time on the fern will show we are typically interested in a bunch of stuff around and in addition to sport. If you've have been lurking for a while you've missed a bit.

You didn't call them meatheads but an earlier post clearly stated you don't expect as much of them as politicians or presumably other 'professionals'?. Why is that?

[mariner4life]

to be honest, I'm surprised you're not still a teenager.

I'm willing to cut you a bit of slack because i assume English is your 2nd language, so there will be some shit lost in translation. But the general gist of your posts is you are pretty cool with someone beating on their missus, as long as they are good at footy. That's pretty fucked up.

@Smudge

I'd think being found guilty of wife ashing in a court would be TERRIBLE

Missing out on a pro contract paying better coin wold be TERRIBLE

Having the incidence reported ad nausiem would be TERRIBLE

I'm no fan of reactionaries and puritans

He committed a crime and was dealt with at the time

As far as I'm concerned he is forgiven and life goes on

All these big spaces and capitals make me think I'm reading stories from my sons from school.

Oh and if you smack a woman round most people tend to think you're a bit of a fluffybunny too, he needs to wear that.

Your 1st sentence: :sleeping_face: :sleeping_face:

Your 2nd sentence is your POV You're entitled to it

I'd thought folks would be a little more open minded and less judgemental The whole saint complex is a little tedious

I'll let the pearl clutchers & professionally offended bitch and moan

Reece is a rugby player & a very good one atm anything else is meaningless frankly

But hey MN5 you can go and preach to the TSF masses about your flawless character :smiling_face_with_halo:

Well I’m humble enough not to shout it from the rooftops but I tend not to hit women

I don't care is different from saying it's okay

It's actually not. If you don't care what other signal are you sending than "go for it"?

Must be that fiery Latin temperament

Man, I can't wait for the rugby to start. Getting sick of discussions like this.

You'll be hating the lull between the SR final and the first test match

[Stargazer]

@Hooroo Yes, indeed. Apart from a few Black Ferns' and school boys' games there won't be much rugby to watch or discuss. But, finally, some time for other sports.

Bless! All I heard reading that is "No Rugby"

[KiwiMurph]

Aren't the Maori ABs playing the weekend in between?

[taniwharugby]

lets be honest, this is the most traffic a thread has got before a game anyway. this place has been a dead zone so far this year. And most of what is posted is inane shit

old jagsy might be a strange fruit, but at least he's kicked the hornets nest a bit.

This is a kiwi forum predominantly focused on rugby with other topics mentioned but that's a small point compared to your 2nd point

Rugby players have a set of skills who entertain

Politicians are elected officials big difference IMO who have a say in your life

Doctors Nurses also have a more profound involvement in our lives so are held to a higher standard

there is no higher standard when it comes to beating on people. women, men, kids. it doesn't matter. I think i kind of see what you are getting at, but i really disagree with it.

One of my aims is to rattle some cages :face_screaming_in_fear: :face_screaming_in_fear:

Provoke some debate with contrarian POVs

Not a fan of cosy consensus, too similar to circle jerking

So you're a troll? How delightfully clever and original.

I like having @Jaguares4real here; provides some healthy challenge to groupthink. SOmetimes steps into fanboi status, but hell - it's good fun and challenges us.
