Rugby League is a sport that desperately needs to expand its geographical supporter base and its player base. This imperative means that all other requirements are secondary until this is done. All power in the game should be with governing bodies, especially international governing bodies. Without these actions we will remain a minor sport internationally and nationally.:



RIP Terry

Made his mistakes, but who hasn't?

Hope the RFL go for a minute's applause to avoid the prospect of late-comers, drunks or just idiots breaking the silence

Is it true that Richard Agar's favorite movie of all time is Groundhog Day or does he just generally like the same boring s**t day after day, season after season?:10603.jpg



Quote: Mintball "Indeed. It's a shame that some people apparently want to censor free speech.'"



Not at all, the real shame is that some people clearly don't have the ability to show a little respect.

I am all for free speach, but there is a time and a place and this thread was not it, especially for a few of the comments certain individuals came up.

As for your previous comment about a "dumbed down society", I personally would have been more concerned about the state of our society if certain people had not been challenged about their disrespectful comments at this sad time.

As I say, nothing to do with censoring free speach, but if people can't show a little respect on a thread like this then they shouldn't post, simplez.

For those who want to keep it to cold hard facts and forget sentiment. How about these facts:
Some of these comments questioning people remembering Terry were made less than 48 hours after his family discovered his body.
The rugby league community is made up of more than just supporters. Its made up of players, ex-players, back-room staff, officials. A lot of whom WOULD have spoken highly of Terry a week ago because they knew him as a friend and have lost a friend. They will be remembering a friend on Saturday.
I didn't know him personally (unless you count a cheeky snog when we were 16) but he was a fantastic talent in the game who wore his heart on his sleeve. He did some awful things but that was a small part of his game and him as a person. Its sad that those are the moments of his career that will stand out.

I am deeply saddened by his death and the circumstances surrounding it. I offer my wholehearted condolences to his family and friends and will show my support to those in the RL community who are missing a loved one by observing the silence on Saturday and paying my respects.

You may think that this is all hypocritical, you may wish to go on ramblings about Hitler, the Daily Mail and mock the intelligence of those paying respects but now is not the time.

"I know guys that pay £25 for a facial up north" "If that season review DVD was an A-level entry, it'd fail":15996.jpg



Maybe, rather than blaming the RFL all the time, Demetriou and Bloem (and the irony of him having a go there!) could tell them what they need other than councilling, if that's not good enough. From what I've read, the RFL were helping Newton by having him speak to kids about the mistakes he made...then again, it's always easy to blame Red Hall for everything.

Wonder if Demetriou, as his last captain, kept in touch to help?
