See ya Slater

[Timbo]

Whare got cleared for that hit.....and that was a full on shoulder charge. Billy's was a very side on hit. What was Slater supposed to do? ....let him run and score?

Clear him to play.

He should have shot him with a bazooka.

What else could he do? Let him score?

 

[McLovin]

Blatant and premeditated shoulder charge from a guy with a history of cheating and dirty play. He will be charged and suspended.

We've seen the last of Slater fortunately.

 

[BWNB]

Too bad Slater!

 

[Sphagnum]

Tbh, he isn't that big, he didn't hurt the guy and it's not his go.

Doubt rugby league will survive without its favourite player showing up for the big dance.

These things are open to interpretation when you've spent all that money on the 6 hour gf day montage.

 

[Brutus]

Billy will be suspended and replaced in the team by Bomber Bill.

Croft to be replaced by County Tyrone.

I am going to bookmark this thread for when he is cleared to play.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

cant wait for the memes to start appearing

 

[Pommy]

Now he’s retired from rugby league the big question is how many Oscars will he win next year?

 

[Life's Good]

Whats funny in all this is the image of Slater that Fox are using as they argue his case for dismissal. Shoulder in position - Lights, camera, action........

Billy the koala is a protected species.
Did anyone else notice the channel nine commentators didn’t make a big deal about the shoulder charge when it first happened?
Channel protect their own and also sponsored billy throughput most of his career.
He should be starting his new career with channel nine next week, but koala billy is protected no charges will be laid.

 

[King hit]

once a grub, always a grub

Mal Meninga is a f**kwit

What was the hypocrite saying this time?

I had to watch on 9 and didn’t see the fox coverage

The NRL Fairytale Unit will clear Slater's alleged shoulder charge as accidental and consensual then present him with the Clive Churchill medal to complement his POS medal from Origin.

Since my team is looooooong gone and I'm not fussed on any of the teams left I'd love to see Melbourne to be the first team to go back to back since 93 with Billy Slater playing just to see the meltdowns on here.

 

[BranVan3000]

Putting my Storm hate aside - 200 points for a shoulder charge is a joke and he shouldn’t miss a Grand Final over a tackle that would have been identical with a slight arm wrap

Regardless - rules are rules

 

[Knight76]

Ennis the only one with the spine to stick to his guns on fox and say it's a shoulder charge. The rest of the weak softcocks all trying to get magnifying glasses out to look for anything, anything to get Slater off.

 

[stryker]

I will not watch the grand final if he plays

Thatll be a shame. You will be missed.

 

[jargan83]

Will be interesting to see the new interpretation of a shoulder charge to come out during the week.

The NRL are probably writing the new interpretation right now.

I said a few weeks ago they will sack him soon for constantly going against the rest with his pesky “logic”. He is turning out too good a commentator

 

[Perth Red]

Right arms wrapped around him, no charge

 

[sharknows]

Feki will be charged!
