The fallout from Storm vs Manly (Spoilers)

[CliffyIsGod]

Fortunately Hastings can cover Api at hooker for a week.

No one wants that.

The last time something similar happened - Weyman on Daniel Connjob - the offender copped a 6 week ban, and that was without a fractured eye socket.

I’d love to know how the same thing is now only 2 weeks.

Funny that typical LU plebs were calling Manly broke because they didn't fly a bloke to Melbourne to hold a stopwatch yet it turns out that even Melbourne didn't supply a timekeeper. Seems like the system is broken if clubs can pick and choose whether they supply officials. That said, keeping time should always be the responsibility of the NRL.

NRL don't know consistency.
It also helps if you play for certain teams

Weyman didnt play with cam smith

How embarrassing. This should be under the auspices of the NRL. All manner of dubious shenanigans can and obviously do go on where it’s up to the clubs to basically self referee. It’s like having to have the home team appoint a video ref.

Greenblob you’ve done it again. Well done champ. What a basket case.

This isn’t rape, this isn’t suicide. This is a punch, which consent can be used as a defence for.

In court, not in the NRL.

 

[Perth Red]

Judiciary has no fcking idea, one match for a coward punch from the blind side, 3 matches for shutting up a gobby sht who was asking for it all game. The game is a farce, thank god I am old enough to have enjoyed it in the 80’s and 90’s.

 

[Perth Red]

That’s not how it works.

But it’s true.

3 matches is a farce

He should've suffered the same fate as the Perth reds themselves

Grubby f**k

But it’s true.

On that basis Ennis would be dead. Again, not how it works.

It’s like having to have the home team appoint a video ref.

This is more or less what happens in cricket with ball tampering, its up to the home side's broadcast team, ever since it was made clear that umpires would be booted out of the game if they caught anyone.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Why is everyone picking on the storm again, it's not just them, everyone does it.......wait......that doesn't really work for this does it......um....then.....it was an accident!

 

[David brown]

Ban walker for not even being man enough to throw one... f**king gutless talk shit merkin....

Curtis Scott should of got a f**king medal for that service he has done us..

Still f**k the storm and Cameron smith...

Edit* Hopefully someone punches the merkin out of Will chambers next..

 

[Exsilium]

We should trust in the systems and processes used by the NRL. I am confident Mr. Todd Greenberg will provide a suitable response which will ensure all parties involved are satisfied and the game can move on from this unfortunate incident.

That will take a LOT of punching

 

[Surely]

Consent can be used as a defence for assault

Thank you Matlock

That deal is done. Light sentence for Scott in exchange for not throwing a tantrum and putting the heat on the NRL.

Manly get stiffed losing their centre for 6 weeks. Storm for two.

I've still never heard of a player getting sin inner for chat against the opposition, and that is the only reason I've read that led to walker been sin binned.
