@ThingFish Whiteheadonly got charged for one of the 2 things he did and with an early plea won't miss a week.
Go figure......
Go figure......
Just read Whitehead was charged. But will loose no game time with an early guilty plea.Don't think Whitehead has been charged!
Sorry mate just replied at the same time. Yeah the process is weird.@ThingFish Whiteheadonly got charged for one of the 2 things he did and with an early plea won't miss a week.

Only charged for the atom thing.Just read Whitehead was charged. But will loose no game time with an early guilty plea.
Jackson's was ugly too and he got offWhitehead made no contact with a head. Cheap shots but not ban worthy.
Sam went in with a swinging arm and collected Sezer around the ears. Had he hit him with his shoulder in an attempt to tackle then I'd see it differently. Intentional or not, he still went in to hit with a complete disregard for the opposing players welfare. It was reckless, uncontrolled and an effort to hurt the opponent.
The head must be protected and the onus is on everyone who takes the field to do so.
The only difference between Sam on Sezer and Soliola on Slater is Sezer got up.
What about his shoulder charge on AJ in mid air at 18-6??Anyway, Elliott Whitehead is irrelevant so there is no point carrying on about it. He's been charged and will be a few dollars lighter.

I'm fine with the grade 2 charge but just saying!

As Southy said, the fact Sezer was crouching helped his cause I think and as Sezer got up and got on with it!Sam was lucky--he got off lightly considering the incident & his record!
His rap sheet is not good-----since 2010 he's been charged 13 times including 6 tackle charges,a crusher,genital grabbing,chicken wing,shoulder charge,tripping,cannonball,raised elbow!!!On many occasions he escaped punishment.
Despite his below-average record before the judiciary he has only been outed for 10 wks total over that long period.
Yep, 100% correct. You don't tend to get whiplash as bad either because your whole body is braced and ready for impact, being relaxed is obviously the complete opposite.Yeah exactly. As you would know from playing rugby league it’s much easier to take a tackle when you’re ready for it. Your body is flexed and you know it’s coming. But when you get hit out of nowhere like that it hurts like a motherf**ker. Tom is gonna feel that this morning. He probably doesn’t deserve anything major over it but it was a massive blindside.
Whitehead shoulder charging AJ in the air was the biggest one I was shocked about. Seriously. 2 of the biggest no no’s in rugby league and wasn’t even charged.
You’re completely right about “malicious intent”. That’s exactly what needs to be considered when reviewing Sam. It wasn’t malicious in any way. It was just very poor timing. Every rugby league team has a player that goes in hard. It’s to try and rally the boys up and not trying to injure the opposition. Sam definitely deserves a week or 2 off but to sit out for 5 would just be outrageous.
Tom is going great guns and I've been so, so impressed. He's got to be one of the most improved in the comp and actually, the same goes for George.I said it yesterday, but how good is Tommy B going! Is there a better prop in the comp right now? Yesterday: 160 metres made, 70 post contact metres, 2 tackle breaks, 0 errors, 1 missed tackle. Last week: 170 metres made, 60 post contact metres, 7 tackle breaks, 2 missed tackles, 0 errors.
Going great!
While this is true, I think that's just a sign of the aggression that Sam plays with, and this aggression is great if you ask me. Yes, there were some offences which were bad but most are just down to his aggression and passion.Sam was lucky--he got off lightly considering the incident & his record!

Consistency is now key for the twins!Yep, 100% correct. You don't tend to get whiplash as bad either because your whole body is braced and ready for impact, being relaxed is obviously the complete opposite.
Thankfully, Sam will only get two weeks as I think he'd be stupid to fight the charge. I'm very happy with this outcome, stoked in fact as I thought he'd get 4-5 weeks knowing what the NRL is like with him.

Seibs will probably have a little chat to him though!I'm actually really relieved with the outcome of these charges as it could've been much worse.

It's this aggression that the rest of the pack feeds off and it fires the other boys up. It's kind of a baptisim of fire for Sam and he's bound to get it wrong sometimes, I can handle that because we need that aggression and that's just the type of champion player Sam is. Through this, he brings so, so much to the side.
Everyone's just been enjoying their Sunday I guess, I have been.@callmack1 been very quiet in here this arvo lol
Always easier to enjoy a Sunday after a great winEveryone's just been enjoying their Sunday I guess, I have been.
The coolest thing happened today which I'll tell you about later on.
I think you need to watch the tackle again.Whitehead made no contact with a head. Cheap shots but not ban worthy.
