After he walked out on NZ after being selected in their squad, I guess NSW didn't want to take that chance.
Of course. Have a look in tha last 10 years at the number of NSWmen who've played for Australia before NSW, and compare it to their QLD counter-parts. 3-1 at least.
He stayed down, and looked in pain. Having a look at the replay, I wouldn't be surprised if he has actually done some damage. But laughing is OK if it's a minor injury?
You already said it was a troll. And if you needed to ask that question then you're fucked in the head for a different reason. If somebody nearly gets hit by a bus, you can laugh about it. If somebody is hit by a bus, only a scumbag would jest.
How do you know Hodges isn't injured? If he has scans and it shows he misses 10 weeks, is it OK for you to laugh because the affects weren't immediate?
He played on and looked fine. You're not a doctor. There's no way I could know whether he's injured or not and I was laughing at the manner in which he nearly fucked himself. That is nothing like, say, Tart or you making fun of ACL's.
So ignorance is fine? If I saw Tate stub his toe I definitely wouldn't laugh, I'd consider the high chance of that turning into a knee reconstruction, possible amputation.
