Benjis impending suspension

[Billybob]

when does he serve out his suspension for the swinging arm

or does being injured still count as games played or would the tigers have to name him every week of his suspension so they come off


Just kidding the way the match officials are nowdays he may not even get charged

 

[Stranger]

His injury matches count as suspension matches

4-week suspension
4-week injury

= 4 weeks on sideline.

simple question really

Simple questioner, too.

Poor Benji..

 

[simon says]

As long as its less than 6 weeks,I dont care.

I thought it may be a 1-2 week job.

 

[Nook]

Doubt it will even be that.

Prince's was worse.

We're f**ked.

Who was it that broke their arm making a high tackle a few years back, Betham on Civoniceva wasn't it? He got a suspension for that I think ... probably the only instance ever where a player got off a suspension because they got injured while committing the offence haha.

Not sure about Betham and Petero but Nathan Cayless broke his arm hitting Josh Hannay high in 2004.

If Benji is suspended, this will be the single biggest DISGRACE in the game's history. It doesnt surprise me a Cowpat fan would make such a post, you lot are the Touch Footy kings. Wait until the real clubs start playing, and you'll see how tough you are. Put it this way ... im going a grand on the Bulldogs to smash them by 20+.

/throws out Shark bait and waits for the nibbles ;-)

1 week if that.

I'll take that bet.

I heard he got injured. How bad?

I thought the same. Especially the bit about you're f**ked. Who are the halves going to be without Prince/Marshall?

Dislocated shoulder same as the one he had surgey on. Not looking good at all.

Chad Robinson only got 2 weeks for a worse effort than that.

Yeah it was Monty Betham in 2004. Instant karma, lol.

 

[LESStar58]

If the nrL judicary want consistency re: the new tackling rules Benji should go. 2 weeks at best methinks...

Hopefully Sheens will look to blood one of the lower graders. The Tigers premier league side is top of the table at the moment and it might be time to give one of them a run.
