If you don’t pass the reservoir rd turn off on the M4 by 4.30pm you won’t make a city game and get a park.

The west connex just moves all the traffic jams east.

And the endless roadworks. I’ve flown to Melbourne in less time than it’s takes to get into the city from the northern rd.
And yet you had to get to Sydney Airport and comparing flight travel to road traffic . , lols

Lol Feb premiers.

A flawed concept. The only thing that matters is the prize money.

We were February premiers in 2005.

Broke both of Brett Finch's hands in a trial game.

The season went to shit fast.

On that Makasini break his tackle was the worst attempt. Genuine shirt grab.

Dylan got mowed over but had a crack at least.
Yea, I'm hoping he was just taking it easy. I don't even know if moving him on the edge and having Martin at prop is the right anymore if he continues like this

For sure, I don’t like the shit on the bloke, I think he’s a great player, but if that was a genuine trial, he wouldn’t be in the side,
That's right a trial to see if he is in the team. I'm sure Things will improve or he will be replaced.. how long into his 5 year contract is he?

He has everything possible to get off. Which he should..

Feet planted.
Arm that makes contact is down by his side.
No injury or hia for other player.
Video appears to show initial point of contact is chest and then slides up.
Tigers players was falling.

Plus im sure they will spend all day today and tomorrow looking for same incidents or worse from last year graded less.
Anyone know if Ivan visits this site?
Ivan covers all these points in his presentation to the MRC.
Quotes from this article on the NRL website.
"Nathan’s feet are planted on the ground."
"What I want to discuss is that the initial contact was right shoulder to right shoulder. There was then indirect contact."
Cleary said there was no HIA from the trainer or independent doctor. “If there was moderate force you would expect there would be a HIA."
"What I want to discuss is that the initial contact was right shoulder to right shoulder. There was then indirect contact."
"We feel the player did have an opportunity to protect himself and also he dropped his body height."
Or is Girds89 really Ivan?

You guys should be thankful many other players do not get off on a charge like that even presenting a similar defence to what you guys did tonight.

If that was Radley or Trell they get a month for that easily.
Do you recall the 5 week suspension Nathan got a few years ago? The precedent was set with Walsh. The victim did not get deemed a HIA by independent doctor. Go away

Except it won’t be the precedent it never is! Others that challenge a charge like that at judiciary during this season won’t get off and when they don’t I’ll use it as examples. Hip drop is another one that is ridiculous some get fines others get 3-4 weeks for the same tackle even with no carry over points. No consistency if there was nobody would have an issue.

Hip drops basically don't exist
