Race, religion, sexuality it would be direct abuse/discrimination and he’d have the book thrown at him. What I believe he said is wrong but not targeted abuse - very clumsy though. Talk of 8 game bans are silly IMO. McGuire qualifies for PDRL and has been down to help out so a stupid comment in the heat of the moment should be taken as such.

This doesn't sound good at all.......only "saving grace" is that it's at the start of the season and not the end I suppose.

Whatever ban he gets, he will deserve, and hopefully learn from.


Being at the start of the season might even work against him. It depends what the panel is in 'early season crackdown' mode about this year.

I honestly think Price has inadvertantly shortened the word mongrel to mong. He's used the word 'mong' as part of a compliment to Ellis Longstaff in describing him as our best player in a performance. If he used the word mong in a negative context, then absolutely he should have been castigated.

People can make innocent verbal mistakes quite easily and where it is evident within the context of a sentence/paragraph that it's obvious that no offence was intended, then I believe people should be given the benefit of the doubt.



Nope, he didn't, that's not a thing, that abbreviation doesn't exist and it feels grotesque even reading that back again.

Yes, Steve Price`s comment was complimentary to Ellis Longstaff and certainly no insult was inferred or taken by Longstaff.

I heard that the other Wire players then started calling him Mongstaff to continue the banter.

Azeem rafiq loves banter where Jewish people are involved.
There, that should get this thread locked :lol:

How long was the RFL CEO banned for when he made those comments at the World Cup?

Leading by example and all that.

Why would he use a negative/insulting 'shortened' adjective as a compliment? Mong is a very unpleasant word, but I honestly don't think he meant it that way and clumsily shortened the word mongrel.

Price may have been a poor coach etc etc, but I'd never have him down as someone who would use this word intentionally to insult someone, especially as that word was used as part of a highly complimentary sentence about Longstaff.

I've just had a look on the Internet myself and you're right here that mong strength isn't short for mongrel strength and there doesn't seem to be anything on mongrel strength. There is something on mong strength which isn't the nicest.

I don't think Price has intended any insult, but perhaps mixed up his metaphors whichever they may be. I thought I'd heard the term mongrel strength before , but as you say, there is nothing on the Internet about it.
