So because Thurston has a cry, Issac Luke is going to get suspended?

[Bumble]

What a joke. For those that haven't seen it:


South Sydney hooker Isaac Luke is facing a one match suspension after being charged following the video review of his team's 32-4 win over North Queensland on Monday night.

Luke was charged with making dangerous contact with a kicker, Cowboys captain Johnathan Thurston, who was fuming after the late hit at ANZ Stadium.

He will miss one match unless he successfully contests the charge at a judiciary hearing.

So first this prick gets off for his swearing tirade, now he's getting other people suspended. All this whilst we have every journo and pundit in the country saying that Hayne and Slater shouldn't be suspended because they have to play origin.

So instead the judiciary will just throw the book at a kiwi. F**king disgraceful.

You don't reckon he hit him high and late?

 

[perverse]

well, if he's going to be suspended at all this year then a week off right now would be awesome. it won't harm my fantasy team that way.

 

[Ziggy the God]

I am over it, the double standards are a joke.

 

[Mr Saab]

Dont think he should be suspended, but as a Broncos fan Luke can have a week off....he deserves a rest.

 

[Bumble]

With a shoulder charge? That Thurston suffered absolutely no injury from?

I agree that it should have been a penalty in the game. No question. But for him to miss a week for it and Thurston, Slater and Hayne to get off free is pathetic.

 

[Doug2234]

f**k me Bumble.. Eveyone is out to get the poor old Rabbits.

Luke is getting suspended
Champion should be playing for NSW

Have a f**king cry about everything..

 

[El Diablo]

it was late and high ffs

fully deserves it and Luke doesn't have the best record either

I didn't see the incident. But did he hit him in the head or not? That's all that really matters.

Ken oath. 1 week is managablefor me.

Stellar contribution to the thread, tbh.

Running through to block a kick, his shoulder hit Thurston high. Very little in it - don't let the Dragons fans tell you otherwise...

After all, they think Ben Hornby is a good halfback.

Whether he was injured from it is irrelevant. Whether he complained about it is irrelevant. Whether he got off a completely different charge last week is irrelevant. The only relevant matter here is whether the hit was illegal according to the rules. And ultimately, if he wants it, Luke can have his day at the judiciary to argue it wasn't. There's somehow a disagreement that this is the way it should be?

I agree that it shouldn't make a difference if someone was injured, but it usually does.

My point is that it was in no way deserving of a suspension. A penalty in the game, I had no problems with. But this is a joke. Might even cost him the Dally M.

I don't think so, Thurston had his arms up and Luke was already in momentum. There was barely anything in it, and certainly nothing malicious

He left the ground and got him in the head. The physical outcome is irrelvant.

 

[user_nat]

Complete joke that he got suspended for that.
Deserved a penalty in the game? Definitely. Suspension? No.
Similar things happen all the time and very rarely result in suspension.

The fact that he wasn't even penalized in the game means that even though he committed the "crime" against the Cowboys, Brisbane will be the only team that benefits. Obviously this is a problem with the whole system and happens all the time (no way around it). However, since I happen to support Brisbane.. this is good timing.

 

[Bumble]

So now we have Broncos (no Locky, Thaiday or Folau) against Souths (no Burgess, Taylor or Luke)

What an anti-climax.

 

[Big Sam]

He got suspended for a BS fend on laffranchi last year so they're obviously gunning for him. He should get off for this one though. Was already committed before thurston kicked it, and was just bracing himself for contact.

 

[Doug2234]

Stellar contribution to the thread, tbh.

And your "Eveyone is out to get Souths" threads are steller contributions to the forums...



But i do expect Luke to get off. Dont worry too much about it..
