How many weeks for JWH?

[The Gambler]

I think he is facing at least 3 weeks.

Grade 1 reckless they are claiming on twitter. Don't know how that equates to 7 weeks given the base penalty is 300 points though? That would require 3 similar offences, 2 similar and 2 non-similar, or 1 similar and 4 non-similar offences in the past 2 years.

I can remember him getting suspended once last year, and I think he got done in 2011 as well but can't remember what for.

He got two in one game last year v Sharks?

Must be 150% loading.

Absolute piss take those Cronulla sightings as well, Robson fell over in to one ffs a long with Mose tackling some Cronulla nuffy "too hard"

 

[Danish]

You can view the 2 x cronulla tackles on the NRL site in the video section. Round 18.

The Ben Ross one was soft as. It was all chest, but because Ross (being the typical knee lifting cat that he is) wouldn't stop bitching about it in the papers for days afterwards he got a charge.

Bloody riculous that those 2 weak as piss charges are essentially costing him 3 games worth of loading

 

[eozsmiles]

Fair charge I suppose. It was clearly high and he gets a grade 1 reckless. Couldn't grade it any lower.

If you'd offered him a grade 1 the instant the whistle blew he would have taken it. He's probably stoked it wasn't worse.

No contact with the shoulder at all, but wtf, I make few posts compared to most on this forum and I'm just trying to get off the bench . . . what better place than a school for the blind

School for the blind? This coming from somebody who obviously can't read. You don't even know what a shoulder charge is you git wizard :lol::lol:

 

[ozbash]

hope the Roosters contest it, nothing in it and that fat prick took a dive.

 

[adamkungl]

As much as I hate the shoulder charge ban you have to laugh at the NRL logic. JWH was red carded and is likely to be suspended for what was an accidental high shot in which George Rose practically fell into him.

Then you have Billy Slater, with about his 10th out and out shoulder charge this season, who's also kicked somebody in the face, and he's escaped charge for this.

Accidental high tackles = red card and suspension.
Intentional, REPEATED, shoulder charges = no charge and only a caution on the field

Ugh don't encourage them. It's an absolute joke that this is even a penalty.

No, he was given a warning if I remember rightly.

To compound the issue, he's been shoulder charging all year, it's not as if it's a one off thing, he already knocked out that Cowboys player earlier in the year with a shoulder charge.

Earlier in the Panthers game he shoulder charged Segeyaro too!

A JWH, Matai, Pritchard would be spending serious time on the sidelines if they repeatedly ignored the new shoulder charge rule and went about throwing themselves into people every other game like that

Pretty sure only shoulder charges with head contact can result in a suspension.

 

[Card Shark]

How can slater continue to get away with that.

He's obviously coached to do that as a penalty is a small price to pay for stopping a try.

Smart play if you ask me.

 

[Renowned League Expert]

In 35 years of watching the game I have never seen a more ridiculous send off.

Ask yourself the question: if the tackle had occurred in the first 10 minutes rather than in the last 10, would he still have been sent off?

Of course not!

This was a case of a referee wanting his 15 minutes of fame. He was probably thinking: "They know I'm gay, they think I'm a soft touch. Well, I'll show them."

And so he sent him off because there was only 10 minutes left.

JWH should be exonerated. Cechine should be in reserve grade next week.

If that's the case it further exemplifies the point the NRL are idiots.

That someone like JWH can play within the rules, go for legal tackles, make an error in judgement and end up in a bad position because a tackler falls into him, and then be suspended for it, while someone like Slater can routinely and intentionally play outside the rules, making what we're told are super uber-dangerous tackles on an almost game to game basis, but avoid suspension, it's just f**ked.

But even assuming that's true I still don't buy it. I bet if Matai or JWH was doing it every week they'd change their tune.

Let's not get sidetracked by technicalities and facts here... Billy Slater, a protected species :lol:

This is probably dumber than anything BunniesMan has ever thought let alone typed.

Yes it is. The storm bend the rules as much as possible & get away with most things.

 

[Lambretta]

Like everything else, consistency is the key

I agree - I think George Rose should be smacked in the head every week

I don't agree with this. JWH was intent on hitting Rose hard, wanted to hurt him, and he f**ked it up and got him high. That does not mean he should escape. It was evident he wanted to hurt him considering the two were at each other all match. Even after he hit him he laid all over him and gave him a mouthful on the ground. Perhaps it was an accident that he caught him in the head, but it was definitely reckless and has been graded appropriately.

I didnt think the tackle was so bad it was worth a five week holiday. But in saying that priors carry such stupid loading penalties and reputation is a factor that i can hardly say im suprised. JWH is the type of guy like Matai who rides the edge of the rule book and sometimes stuffs up. Unfortunately alot of the "Stars" like Slater, Inglis etc would never cop the same time ban for the same offence

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

There is a lot of dirt being flung at George Rose over the hit. So tell me this... If he lies on the ground like a sack of potatoes like just about every other merkin does with a hit from someone like Matai as an example, how many weeks would JWH be looking at then? Rose, blundered his way straight to his feet. Considering he had the option to stay flat on the ground unmoved for about 5 minutes to get his breathe back, I find it pretty frustrating that any Roosters fans are hanging it on him for the hit.

I like JWH style, (like every other Manly fan has said in this thread) I wish he was still with us. He hit him high. It didn't bounce up and was flush on the face and had to rise into it. It deserves a suspension. It sucks he has so much carry over. The carry over system is broken and has been for some time now.

 

[attila_the_gorilla]

his head-high contact thing is still a work in progress and quite inconsistent. A couple of years ago Hargreaves was knocked out by Simon Dwyer's hit flush on the chin. Didn't even get a penalty.
Nowadays they're trying to police it more stricter, but a bit inconsistent. Just looking at the incident I think it's worthy of a send-off and a suspension, but so are a few others than go unpinished.
