Jeff Lima: you're worse than the Squirrel Gripper!

[voltron]

an intentional leg twist which is only designed to injure a player is worth more than 1 week.
3-4 weeks and then i would have been satisfied.
one week is pathetic.

compared to some of the other long suspensions given this year.
this was the worst dog act of them all.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

I'm happy he's getting at least a week. I was worried they'd let him off.

How Tafua got away with the shoulder charge I will never know. Sure it looked good but less shoulder charges have been suspended this year,

Besides the arms making contact before the shoulder?

 

[SaraSassypants]

I was expecting 3-4. Lima rolling over made it look worse but I just had another look at the replay and I don't think he rolled the leg while he was rolling, he only tugged it. As I said though I was expecting 3-4, thought it was poor.

As for Taufua, it looked like a shoulder charge to me but whatevs no biggie

Both Andrew Voss and Greg Alexander, were stunned by the one week ban. They also said that burgess deserved more

If Souths don't win the comp this year(and they won't)..... With the NRL in their corner, they never will.

The NRL remind me of Pakistani umpires, in Pakistan, and Souths are Pakistan , during the 1980's

Could you imagine the uproar if Greg Inglis was on the receiving end and it ended his season.

Let's say Matai was the perpetrator.

One week ban ?

Me thinks not...

 

[Butters]

So now it's illegal to tackle a player below the knees? FMD the game's full of softcocks.

You should've called up the Triple M Grill team this morning. They were asking for the worlds best conspiracy theories and you clearly think Souths is it. Though they'd probably just laugh at you, like most on here.

 

[Usain Bolt]

Watmough is a dog for lying down and pretending to be hurt. Got up and played the rest of the game

You mean Inglis.

Butters, open your eyes.

He grabbed his lower leg and rolled around and twisted it. The views of Voss and Alexander are spot on. What Lima did was a disgrace.

If it were Matai, as mentioned, and GI was on the receiving end, he'd get 6 weeks.

It's pathetic . It's been happening all year, and it will continue . Souths are the chosen team.
The NRL need them to end, 5 decades of utter garbage . If premierships are won on class and skill, Souths wouldn't come within a bulls roar of winning anything.

They should be 7th-8th, not 2nd. They should have 2 players rubbed out for the season, instead they get a love tap.

 

[Butters]

He was on the ground while holding onto a players leg who was still moving forward, he then repositioned his body so as to maintain his hold. Nothing wrong with it.

 

[SaraSassypants]

You have no idea Gonzo. If it was Matai he'd have loading so it would've jumped up. Lima has a good record so had a week reduction.

I'd love to know your view on why Souths have received the second LEAST penalties this year if they're supposed to be favoured?

 

[GONZO72]

SSP, are you a Souths supporter ?

 

[BunniesMan]

Fair penalty IMO.

if that's the case why didn't he fight it ?

A question for you & other Souths fans who don't think there was anything wrong with it - how would you have felt if it was Greg Inglis on the receiving end ?

 

[GONZO72]

Of course it was.

I suppose Burgess grabbing the testicles was worthy of a medal.

Souths fans, are nervous, I get it. They can smell the roses, after 5 decades of smelling shit.

Pleading guilty = less of a charge. No point challenging if it's just 1 week.

I'm not a Souths supporter so if it happened to Inglis i'd still feel the same way.
