So what he did was not dumb? This second incident was just him being an idiot to an official. If anything it is a quck "Don't do this again" and move on. None of this NRL are out to get us stuff.
More the issue in the game is the relentless obsession these old fossil 'journos'.. guys like Brent Read, Badel , Buzz etc have for Luai and Spencer. Every move they make is over analysed and made into a story. Same story with Latrell. We've signed 2 of them and we need good leadership with what comes with it. I'm sure they dont view what they do as racism but by the same token the way these guys carry themelsves seems to be story worthy to these guys.
To be fair the players mentioned bring something to Parra the club and team desperately need experience and talent.We need that in the worst way.Let the journo's do what they do that's there job it doesn't mean we have to buy into what there saying.

100% but it's also a big reason why someone like Luai can excel at Penrith and be a massive distraction at Tigers . You need the right environment with what comes with them. Luai can't even honour a 3rd party deal in PNG without these blokes debating what he should and shouldn't be doing to get paid in season. They're stuck in an era the game and its players have moved past. I have no idea what Spencer said to this official but he would only have to sneeze in their direction and these guys are ready to paint their picture.
