You know what is a shame as well??....... Whitehead probs won't even miss a weekThe Central Coast have be commended for that game, even just watching on TV the crowd was great, it was like 80% Souths fans and the atmosphere seemed amazing! So well done to them.
I'll watch all the replays and stuff tomorrow but yes, I'm very concerned about Sam, not looking good at all.
And you're right R20, Whitehead should've been put on report twice!
I posted this in rumours and injuries thread but though I'd post it here too in case anyone misses that!
Judiciary code @callmack1

Reckless high tackle grade 3 is 500 points so that's 5 weeks. With early plea he may just get away with 4 weeks lads.
Other scenario is that:
Intentional high tackle gets referred to panel! Not sure how that all works!
Whitehead should get a dangerous contact charge'of some sort I hope.
What about the Raider who at 18-6 shoulder charged AJ in the air?
That's some very good points actually and it makes me feel a little bit better about the whole thing. However, we know what the NRL is like with Sam so I'm still a bit worried.Sam will probably get sidelined but 5 weeks would be unbelievable. Tackles like that happen all the time in rugby league. I’d expect 2 weeks. Wade Graham nearly took JT’s head off last year and only got 2 if I remember correctly.
The biggest problem with all of this is that Sezer is obviously looking for a pass and braces himself by bending his knees.
Watching the replays I have no idea how Whitehead wasn’t charged once. Watching him hit Tom from behind was pretty gross. Same as him shoulder charging AJ in the air. If the MRC is fair dinkum about charging the burgess’ then he should definitely be getting charged as well.
King Bunny,your a good man and life will be kind to you.

On another note, I can't believe Tom has been accused of laying down by Ricky Stuart!! Could you not see what a dog act that was and how much whiplash Tom suffered? He was kicking his legs around in pain FFS so I can't believe that claim!
I actually think Whitehead on Tom was a lot worce than Sam on Sezer considering the situation. Tom's was off the ball, GI was being tackled and it didn't even look like Tom was gonna get the ball. As a result, Tom is relaxed and then Sezer comes in and hits him with that cheap shot which was just disgusting.
Sam's was still bad but it was more a mistake as oppose to an intentional malicious attack. Sezer it taking the ball to the line so he's bracing himself, this means he's ready to get hit and it's not off the ball so you can't really call it intentional. Sam just made a big stuff up which is still bad, but imo, Whitehead on Tom was way worse.
No panic hereMeh I think we’ll win comfortably
And all that’s off about 50minutes game time!! Top of the heap this year, killing it.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!
I liked the way George collared Paulo, I think that's his third collaring of the season
