2024 NRL General Discussion Thread

Kent needs to grow the **** up. I don’t know what he’d be on, maybe 300, 400K? He’s not some twenty year old footballer - he knows what’s at stake with behaviour like this. Or maybe he just thought he’s untouchable.

What pisses me off is that the media will cover their journo buddies' backs.. but had this footage emerged with a current player involved .. we would be hearing about it until the player was sacked or at least sanctioned in some way.

Kent is untouchable.

I don't know if this is recent or if this is old, I think it would be old. But I think people on here will get a kick seeing Paul Kent ragdolled.

Funniest shit I've seen in ages.
Old Kunty upside down against a tree with his fat gut hanging out.
Anytime I feel down, I'm coming back to watch this.
Beautiful.

I came to post the second angle but Super Freak is all over it doing the lords work.
Onya mate!

Except it is all over the news sites and he has been stood down but sure…we won’t hear all about because the media will cover it up for their beloved Paul Kent…please

Fox ain't covering it .. like they should.

I mean .. that is their job .. right?

I don't think he'll be untouchable when there's footage out there... these journos usually have each other's back, because they don't want their own dirty laundry exposed... hence the radio silence from media outlets...

But they live in a social media world now and they can't hide from camera phones

You said the media would cover it up…the media is more than Fox Sports, thankfully.

The thing that irritates me is had it been a player in this position .. 360 dudes would be relentless.

I said his media buddies, clearly meaning his mates on 360.

 

[Broncosgirl]

Not acknowledging it, ignoring it .. is its own form of at least attempting to cover it up. Especially when you take into consideration if it was a player doing it .. it would be wall-to-wall coverage.

Maybe cover up wasn't the word I should have used .. didn't know what else to call it.

You did just say the media, not 360 but idc…enjoy your outrage I guess…

 

[Midean]

I don't like Kent, bloke is a knob.
But did anything really wrong happen here?
Just two drunk dickheads having a bit of a scuffle and no one pressed charges.

I just hope Tallis doesn't let him live it down on 360 anytime Kent gets all puffed up about something.

Outrage is a bit of an exaggeration.

And I really think you knew exactly what I meant.

It’s just the hypocrisy of it all. He and his News Corpse mates would be “outraged” if the same footage was of a player.

good point

 

[Browny]

Compare this to the shoe scuffle or the lads being loose at the start of the year.

I just wanted to note something...

The dolphins have faced the
Titans in their 1st game without tino, the Broncos without Reynolds, haas, etc etc etc etc, the eels without moses, and are gonna face the knights in their 1st game without ponga and manly in their 1st game without DCE and olokuatu...

Meanwhile we played penriff the game BEFORE cleary was out for 5 weeks. And Munster, Hughes and a couple others in their comeback game FROM injury.
I know this is luck but the skewed "draw" the nrl "randomly" puts out every year just amplifies it as well. Ladder positions are not going to be a true indicator for premiership favouritism this year to a certain extent. There will be some annihilations in the finals

As long as it's the Broncos annihilating all comers, sounds excellent to me!
