The Burgess one was a result of a head clash with Graham for starters so not the same as Manu's one which was as a result of the reckless high tackle grade 2 by Goolagong-Mitchell.

Players can go to the judiciary and challenge the grading and charge though - nothing stopping them doing that.

The NRL judiciary is based on the current legal system. if say you were charged with a custodial offence which carried a sentence of 3 to 7 years - if you enter an early plea you may receive the minimum sentence of 3 years if you have no priors- similar and non similar offences.

If you take it to court and are found guilty the magistrate has the discretion to sentence you to the maximum 7 years as you wont receive a lessor sentence that was available if you entered an early guilty plea.
I dont believe the burgess nor the later tyrell head buts by graham were accidents,graham is a dirty crook,angling his head and doing damage, so dont use that as an eg.

Yes, he did run in at full speed and that was dumb, no denying that. But it was to put a big hit on legally, that was his intention. Not to hit him high on purpose. I don't understand how you can't see that, the facts are all there.


You don't understand what I'm saying clearly.

No one can deny he hit Manu in the head so therefore, yea he's done the wrong thing. However, he didn't do the wrong thing on purpose, there's a difference. I'm sure everyone has unintentionally done the wrong thing many times in their life, you'd be lying if you said you hadn't.

You're trying to say he did it on purpose which is rubbish.

Look, we're obviously never going to agree on this so I think it's time we all moved on. What's done is done.
No, if he did it on purpose then that would be intentional which is its own grading.

Your a demented fool,there is no difference to the burgess and manu injuries, and it would of been better to have gone straight to the judiciary, it would have been downgraded to careless, all the publicity especially the roosters garbage helped condemn latrell which is a farce, the fact that you cant contest a ruling under the threat of copping more weeks is also illegal and a farce, so your guilty and you cant try and prove innocence or downgradeing, its actually laughable,lol
You clearly don't know how the judiciary works. you don't get more weeks for contesting a ruling and failing, rather, you get a discount for not contesting. The charge he was given (with priors) resulted in a 9 week ban and he got a discount for pleading guilty. Going to the judiciary would not have resulted in him getting more than 9 weeks.

There is not a chance he would have got it downgraded to careless, that's why he plead guilty.

The reason he would not have been successful in getting it downgraded is not because of what actually happened, it's because of the pathetic uproar of idiots like you fuelled by your corrupt coach who thinks he's bigger than the game.
Yes Latrell is the real victim here.

Yes, it's possible to have more than one victim in an incident such as this. I realise this might be confusing to someone who thinks everything is black and white, but it's how the world works.
Yes Latrell is a victim for getting a fair punishment.

If you look at the incident it happened in a split second,if gagai hadnt pulled his pants and he started to drop the tackle would have hit the chest, it was careless,not reckless, and trell was in shock then copping all the continual abuse, yes manu was the victim but trell has paid a massive price because your mates publicly advertised it,you cant tell me he was treated fairly,its been a witch hunt

It was reckless and he has got what he deserved.
