  couldnt have been that bad that tahu had 2 leave such an important game, even if it was realy serious is it worth him leaving the blues camp in the crisis that were in?
  
  seems very selfish 2 me, especialy with tahus previous comments on how important a blues jersey is, and that its worth more than a wallabies jersey.
  
  SOFT in my eyes

    stand up for Tahu. Surely you must realise racism is a bigger issue than any game of football?

  i dont have a problem with Matthew Johns, he didnt rape the girl, he was only guilty of an affair (not saying its a good thing, but it's not as serious as rape, racism or drugs).
  
  Andrew seems like a good guy on screen , but it is quite obvious he is an absoloute fuckwit of screen

    It was a huge disappointment when Johns was caught with drugs, but I said at the time the repesct I feel for the guy will be judged on how he handles his next few years. I have nothing but respect for what he has achieved during and after his league career as a footballer.
    
    I'm neutral as to his commentary talents but I loved his passion that was on show as a trainer in origin 1. I don't think it's right to throw Joey under the bus just yet. Whatever he said was not instant dismissal so I think its a case of wait and see.
    
    It seems like whatever Joey says it was not directed at Tahu. While Joeys actions are wrong by his own admission, we don't know how wrong.

  Joey was a brilliant player on the field and an A grade D head off it. Happy to watch the history reels but cant stand the non playing person. Spoilt brat who needs to grow up.

  Before I rant i'd just like to say that I am and always have been a fan of Andrew Johns but this seems suspiciously like it's just another thing he can blame on BI-POLAR.
  
  For those of you that have read his autobiography you will understand where im coming from. Nearly every statement in his book was about how he did wrong and acted like a goose, but he seems to think because he has bi-polar it makes it ok, he even has the gall to suggest that if you didnt believe him go to www.Blackdog.com(bi-polar awareness website).
  
  For someone that was a legend on the field he sure is the exception to the rule that "footballers make good commentators".
  Every time he is on the telly he looks like he has been pole axed, and stumbles all over the shop, on air hes even more non - existent.
  
  Andrew Needs to pull his head in and , start acting his age and realising that he's not playing league now, his days are over as a player, and racial slurs have no place within the game, or society for that matter.

  The Johns brothers both seem to lack general morals and judgement. When everything blows up in their face (ie they get caught for behaviour that was no one's fault but their own) they both cry poor and play the victim first, then, once they have the world feeling sorry for their plight, they stand up and say they deserve to be punished and we're all meant to think they're heroes for 'copping it on the chin'.
  
  I have had enough of both of them and wish they'd both sod off.

  I WOULD OF WALKED OUT AS WELL IF THEY REPLACED ME WITH BEAU SCOTT!

  I reckon tahu had a sook cause he didn't want to play on the wing so he used Andrew Johns as an excuse...Well he did say he has been copping it from him for years,why didn't he be a man and pulled johns to the side and tell him how he felt about his comments as a matter of a fact why didn't he say something years ago...Isn't that the reason he left newcastle cause he was on the WING

  I think Andrew Johns suffers heavily from foot in mouth disease.
  
  Word has it that Tahu did approachJohns and was given the cold shoulder. This was done at the drinking session when the original comments (Yes it was more than once) were made, Johns was apparently on the way to being paralytic drunk.Then surprise, surprise the league tried to cover it up , when found out now that they are suggesting that it was TImana's idea to lie.
  
  Allround fuck up by the league and Johns needs to be reprimanded, for once again being a fucking tool and bringing the game into disrepute. Drugs, Sex scandals, Drunk fools, and now ethnicity comes into play, what else have the johns boys got in their bag of tricks, arson, armed hold up perhaps?
