I agree with Tony 'I'm a pom now' Smith on this one. He might have got a UK passport but it seems that hasn't stopped him talking sense....well on some things.
We all know what Monaghan did.
Time to let sleeping dogs lie.
Abusing Monaghan for what he did is not that unlike the Castleford fans abusing Gareth Thomas for being a homosexual.
So abuse Monaghan at your peril guys...... Your club might cop a big fine. Harlequins despite having no money should be safe because they have no fans... but a side such as Wakefield that at least has some fans...but not much money... could be in real strife if they cop one.

I have done some pretty daft things in my time Tony, but I'm pretty sure that I haven't simulated a sex act on a dog. |

The trouble is that the sport copped a lot of negative flak from the media over the Gareth Thomas v Castleford incident and the way it was handled.
You just KNOW they will be going out of their way to try and get the 'family sport' tag back into the game...and if hundreds of supporters (well 2 or 3 in Harlequins case) start giving it to Monaghan week in week out they will come down hard on the clubs that are involved.

The comparison with what happened to Thomas is just stupid, Monaghan will get some stick and there's nothing Wire or Tony Smith can do about that unless it crosses over the line of acceptable behavour at a game, in which case it will be tried just like all other unacceptable incidents.

[Tony Smith's moral compass...whatever suits Tony!. Talking utter cr*p]

[Nothing like it. Insulting someone for being gay is against the rules of the game/ law. Sticking it to and taking the mick out of Monaghan is not illegal or against the rules. A british comedian has already ripped into JM on the BBC I doubt Tony will have the b*lls to challenge them. Tony Smith is one of the most humourless people in the game. I cannot wait to hear the song that get sung when JM plays the likes of saints!]

Why would anything Saint Helens supporters sing at JM be any funnier or wittier than anything that any other supporters sing?
Or are you tapping into the old 'Awww dose Scousers dey are always dead dead funny likkkkkkke'** myth?
** Poor attempt at a scouse accent

I find the comparisons to Gareth Thomas strange.
Monoghan was essentially sacked from his club, outcast from the NRL and forced to moved to the other side of the world to find employment. I can't see all that happening to someone just because they were homsexual.
I emplore all speccies to bark loudly whenever Joel Monoghan get the ball. He did something stupid and has always said he wants to take responsibility for his actions - part of that is getting grief from the opposition fans.

I assume he will take action against his brother Michael then who is actually alledged to have said when asked about Joel joining him at Wire, "Its great he is moving in with me, but unfortunately I've had to get rid of my dog".

| So I'd get into trouble for suggesting the reason he went to warrington is because he heard all their supporters were dogs?
As for any club getting into trouble, i'd be of the argument that Warrington by employing him are opening the game for disrepute.
Other than that, to liken any grief he gets to teh abuse of Gareth Thomas has to be a windup. |

Here is a quote from the RFL website
[iRugby League will not tolerate racist,
sexist or homophobic abuse or
harassment of any type in the game from
players (young or old) or volunteers or
spectators involved in the game.[/i
Right or wrong verbally abusing a player is a no no...whatever they may or may not have done
As Castleford found out to their cost.
The RFL will be clamping down on this one if it goes too far I'm sure
