Thousands gather on NSW Central Coast for 51st Koori Knockout to showcase Indigenous rugby talent 8-)

Who IS  a 'koori"?  Who is Irish?  Who is English? Who is Danish? Italian? Greek?  Australian?  What IS the difference between them and a 'koori"?

You really are an ignorant loser, aren't you, Soren?  A Koori is an Indigenous Australian who hails from Queensland and NSW.  Where did you fly in from?  Ah, Denmark, wasn't it?  Something Fishy in Denmark, hey?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  ::) ::)

I'd expect 'em to gather for that.  Let's hope it stays quiet....

It's not Rugby ..... it's Rugby League.

Not that a woke Sth Australian wanker like you would know.

Furthermore the whole event is aptly named ... Koori "Knockout".

because there's already investigation by the NRL into a brawl in which Canterbury Banktown & ARL winger Josh Addo-Carr was allegedly "knocked out".

Every year something similar happens.

As you so often say dickhead ....WOFTAFM.

The Fox felled by foul flung fist....

Thought Aboriginal 'culture' was all about the 'Land'.
Why the 'anti-white' Sport thing going on here?

You racist, you! Dissing multicultural people!  How dare you? You are not Pearson!!


‘I say to multicultural communities in the campaign that I am involved [with] around the country. I say to them, “Listen, where do you fit into Australia? It’s a bit unclear. Are you with the mob from the UK? Are you kind of honorary settlers? Because some of you are the wrong colour. Or you don’t come from Northern Europe. You come from Africa, you come from Asia, you come from South America – you come from all over the joint. You come from China. I say to them, where do you fit in Australia?”’


You judge me the wrong colour, ethnicity...er...race, Bbwian??? Is that possible?? 
I had African ancestors about 100,000 years ago.  I am a member of the longest surviving human civilisations.
No good?


Cruel, cruel, racist Bbwian!  So hurtful!  :'( :'( :'( :'(

Yeah - professional players are held to a higher standard... and 'rushing in' is apparently worse than the first foul blow...

I think the first foul blow should be punished more... ten minutes at least depending on how foul.

Incorrect dickhead..... Kooris are from NSW

Murris are from QLD.

Either way they are just words used to describe people of very mixed ancestry that choose to identify as Aboriginal.

Is that like Europeans can be Vikings, Celts, Scots, Irish, Britannic, Slavs, Greeks, Germanic, Frankish, Finnish, Scandinavian, Danish, etc?

Ab ous have more mutually incomprehensible tribes and clans than Europe ever had. But are Abos as unified as those in the list above?

Bbwian, you are an idiot and you prove it every time you utter. Amusing, if such predictable
stupidity can still be called amusing.


Tut tut and roll ze eyez, Bbwian. That's you.

Famed crossover athlete Anthony Mundine has performed an acknowledgement of country while appearing in court after police discovered the NRL legend behind the wheel of an unregistered vehicle affixed with unauthorised number plates while holding a suspended licence.

Representing himself before magistrate Jillian Kiely in Sutherland Local Court on Tuesday, Mundine announced to the court that “I’m Anthony of the tribe Mundine, here in my private capacity,” after acknowledging the “Dharug people of the Eora Nation” before his proceedings began.

Mundine, 50, was charged late last year with five motoring offences after highway patrol officers discovered him at the wheel of an uninsured and unregistered white Holden Commodore in suburban southern Sydney.

In late January, he was convicted in absentia of driving during a disqualification period (second offence), driving an unregistered vehicle, driving an uninsured vehicle, driving a vehicle on a road with motor vehicle tax unpaid, and driving a vehicle with unauthorised number plates affixed.

Mundine in court attempted to enter a “no plea” to his driving during a disqualification period (second offence) charge, but magistrate Kiely informed Mundine that a plea of either “guilty” or “not guilty” must be lodged.

“If you fail to make a plea, I can’t make a plea of not guilty,” said magistrate Kiely.

“I don’t consent … I’m innocent,” responded Mundine.

After Mundine declined to enter a formal plea, the magistrate entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf, as required by court procedure.

Mundine also wished for the court to “dismiss” that one charge, but the magistrate informed the dual-code athlete she lacked the authority to “summarily dismiss the matter”; only the police could withdraw the charge laid against him.

“They (the police) will be held accountable … I’m joking,” Mundine said.

Outside court, Mundine briefly shadow-boxed for waiting media and declined to comment substantively on the case.

He refused to comment on how he would contest the charges and whether he was a sovereign citizen or aligned with the sovereign citizen movement.

Earlier this month, Mundine told The Australian he would challenge the offences on the grounds of “attempted legal restriction of fundamental rights,” citing terminology used commonly by sovereign citizens. Mundine also revealed he was “awaiting response from Transport for NSW, the NSW Police Force, and the Department of Justice.”

“To elaborate, the matter pertains to the attempted legal restriction of fundamental rights – specifically the right to travel, the right to peace, the right to freedom of association, and the right to equality before the law, including the right to be heard and seen equally in the eyes of the law,” he said.

Thugby League has no place in Australian Aboriginal culture.
Strictly European.

He always was a wanker. His old man must cringe every time he gets his name in the paper trying to stay relevant. Which he's never been.

Seems the Media Left are creating Aboriginal culture as it goes along
