    The Joey Leilua Award

    Sure I made it up. I'm the one who made Latrell Mitchell a grade 2 charge and BJ Leulia a Grade 3. I'm literally going on how the NRL have made the charges. The intelligence of the average NRL fan is dropping at an astonishing rate.

    And that's a problem. The MRC are working within their system and people are too dumb to figure it out. But will push conspiracies about race and favouritism.

    The Joey Leilua Award

    They are the categories. Then each of those categories comes with a grading of 3 levels. For example a charge might be careless high tackle, Grade 2

    The Joey Leilua Award

    So should BJ have gone straight to the Judiciary?

    Yes. If latrell incident is now a grade 3, then Kikau now becomes a grade 1. And that is ridiculous right? Thanks for seeing my point.

    The Joey Leilua Award

    There's no written provision for 'provoked' and 'emotion' no. It's up to the MRC to set the charges at their discretion within the guidelines they have. But part of that is ensuring that grade 3 is set aside for the worst of the worst. Unprovoked attacks, hitting a passer several seconds after...

    The Joey Leilua Award

    All head contact/strikes are divided into 3 grades. Rugby league skirmishes are common. It's a physical game, it's an emotional game, stuff happens in tackles and rucks. Teammates get injured. These kind of things are common place and incidents overflowing from these are always going to happen...

    The Joey Leilua Award

    Except that Graham wasn't offside. He was onside by the time he went to pick the ball up. South Sydney players fumbles the ball about 45m from the try line, after the fumble the ball rolls back closer to the 50m, Graham is onside by this point as he is behind the point of the initial fumble by...

    The Joey Leilua Award

    It was a reaction to an incident in the heat of the moment. Doesn't matter if Reynolds was accidental or not, it's all in the heat of the moment. Any good judiciary lawyer would get it bumped down to a grade 2 easily. 'My client saw his team mate get kicked in the head. He reacted, yes it was a...

    The Joey Leilua Award

    BJ Leulia was given a grade 3 charge. It carried 500 judiciary points. This was lowered with a guilty plea but that was counter acted with him having priors. In the end he was hit with 450 points which resulted in 4 games. Latrell mitchell was hit with a grade 2. That carries 300 judiciary...

    GI - out of retirement to Warrington

    When I said free to do what he wants in the future, I meant employment wise. There is no avenue for Sam to return to rugby league now.

    GI - out of retirement to Warrington

    Yea no. Sam was medically retired (unlike GI). His contract was paid in full, with no effect on the cap, as is the case with all Medical retirements (Like Gillett and Mautlino were on the same day). With that settled Sam is free to do whatever he wants into the future (as all former players can).

    GI - out of retirement to Warrington

    Except you can't. The nrl decided that anything over the market value for the role will count on the cap for the remaining years of the contract. So GI was on $1million in 19-20. He was paid $500k for half a year as an nrl player. He then went in to his new role which had been reported as...

    GI - out of retirement to Warrington

    Lol. I think people undersell GIs 2018. For the first half of 2016 GI was poor. There was very obviously problems at souths especially around Sam's return. At the back end of 2016, after GIs post origin suspension, GI went on a dominant run, souths finished out the season 5/7 with one of...

    GI - out of retirement to Warrington

    If you looked at any club there's a dozens of former players in similar roles. Darren Lockyer is a board member for broncos, do you think he got the role because of his business acumen

    GI - out of retirement to Warrington

    All well and good, but Peter wallace didn't medically retire. For whatever reason he wasn't eligible. Hence he had a normal retirement, foregoed the remainder of his contract and immediately took on a post football role with the panthers.

    GI - out of retirement to Warrington

    I believe they did get cap relief for Wallace. As it was later in the year and wallace was on a smaller contract it was obviously a lot smaller scale, but the principle was the same. Im unsure of McKendrys retirement. He may have retired without foregoing the remainder of his contract, which...

    But if Wallace did should Panthers suddenly be copped for a salary cap hit for a salary they didn't pay?

    GI - out of retirement to Warrington

    The problem is players do this all the time. It's not uncommon for players not to see out the final years of the contract and retire or break the final years of their contract to seek a deal in England. It's been a common occurrence for years, people have just taken the blinkers off because GI...
