The Knights v Eels Game, It Was Shocking?

I was at the ground, and being a strong Knights supporter I felt almost ashamed to be there.

After 10mins Tahu was sent off, but what happened before was a joke.

The first brawl, ok understandable few tensions happening and all. But the second one just a mintue later... Come on you guys are meant to be grown ups! After I saw Tahu walk into the change room for his sin bin, I wanted to give him a hug. After all the bs he has had to deal with over the past week or so, I would have thought that the guy would have been given a break.

But it was the fans that really started to piss me off. The team runs out and they start booing, fair enough. But when Tahu came back out after his sin bin, the crowd start to boo him. The crowd were just behaving like juveniles during the first 20 mins. I couldn't believe it. I mean I know it happens, and it is understandable. But they start sledging Tahu for standing up for his morals. I heard so many comments about him its not funny. And the Parra crowd are there calling for players to be sent off, just because they tackled Tahu.

Ok maybe I'm over reactiong, but the way some of the players and supporters conducted themselves I think it was just ridiculious. What did you guys think of the whole thing, and was there anyone else at the game itself?

    Tahu was lucky he wasn't sent off after the first swinging arm which was clearly deliberate. He behaved like a child having a temper tantrum. Where was all this aggression when John made the comments that allegedly offended him? He deserves no special treatment because he hasn't done anything special. All he did was walk out on his team mates who had no part in the comments he was allegedly offended by and then claimed to be a role model for the kids. Great job of being a role model against the Knights...not. I hope they throw the book at him at the judiciary but I'm sure that if they do it will be claimed that the judiciary are a bunch of racists too.

    I have pretty much no respect left for tahu. The crowd had every right to boo him he came on the field throwing dog punches at our team, at his ex team mates, what do you expect the crowd to do? Tahu needs to pull his head in. I don't know where you're coming from because i don't think the knights did anything wrong last night (except play crap footy).

    ps Tahus quote from the game 'that's the way i play i'm an agressive player'. If that's how he played every week he'd spend every game in the bin.

    Tahu is just acting like a sook now , I agree the previous two comments when they said that the Knights players had nothing to do with his big bi>tch session last week. I hope he gets a 2 week suspension and comes back without that face of "I am so hardly done by , everyone is a racist". I am not saying Johns had a right to say what he did but Tahu is just carrying on now . Good on Knights fans for booing him

    For once I agree 100% with dogsoldier. I think highly of Tahu but he really needs to pull his head in. As Gidley said in the post match interview, the Knights players had nothing to do with the problems he's going through so his attack on them was unwarranted, I wasnt there but it seems to me like I wasnt the only one who was angry at the way he acted. I'm sure if he didn't go schizo on our boys, he wouldn't have copped that from the fans, every home crowd boos the other team's player/s after a fight, its normal. Hopefully he gets a week or two ban to calm down and focus because his head's obviously not right. I mean, Inglis is the one who was racially abused and he controlled his temper and put it to good use, Tahu could've easily done the same thing but he chose to be an idiot...

    You're so worried about an opposing player lol are you even happy the Knights won or would you rather us lose to a see a smile on Timana's face? This win has kept our season alive, if it was me I'd be more focused on that than a guy on the other team's feelings lol

    It was a terrible game played by two teams who were just short of hopeless (the first points after 60 minutes) controlled by officials who were as bad as the game. To be honest, a nil all draw would have been the most appropriate result.

    How Tahu wasn't sent off I don't know and that lifting tackle on Mannah was well over the horizontal and that was play on.

    If anything was shocking it was the handling. It was the worst game I have ever seen, soo much dropped ball. The last five minutes was pretty good though.

    Tahu should not of been allowed to come back on the field if you ask me, that swinging arm with a clenched fist was disgraceful.And the next minute he nearly caused an all in brawl. All fans boo players they don't like.Tahu made his own bed now he can sleep in it.

    Was exactly the same as the closed fist tackle Barrett made on Inglis in last years Origin. That seemed to be a more acceptable offence to the judiciary and NSW fans.
