Maybe, maybe not. But definitely an idiot.God-King Dean said:Mason is definitely a coward then :lol:
Babyface O'reilly said:Anasta was hard done by that night and I can't blame his reaction. However the great players put their head down and get on with the game. A great example is the way Brad Fittler got on with his game despite the blatant high shot (that escaped penalty) he copped in the 02 grandfinal.

Timmah said:Gee, evidence sure is damning, ain't it?
Timmah said:His entire arm is around the throat - that's what a f**king grapple is.
If you think that tackle isn't dangerous then I suggest a psychiatrist.

your blind then...sretsoor said:Really. I would argue his arm is over his shoulder with hand down on the ball. At no point does he take his hand from the ball and grip him in a headlock aka 'grapple' but as others have pointed out, you're clearly biased so I'll leave it at that.

sretsoor said:As I said, you can see Briaths hand is face down on the ball as he is trying to stop any offload. His hand is not around the throat. Yes his arm is over the shoulder but that does not constitute a 'grapple' tackle.
Misty Bee said:Fa'alongo should get a ticker tape parade down George Street for that one. Anasta's comments were disgusting, and below the belt, especially toward the referee. I notice Anasta is good at abusing people in the media if he has had an altercation with him. He's a knob. Chooks fans, he is tarnishing your proud club.
And I'd be VERY surprised if the club doesn't cop a big repremand from the NRL for it.

Anasta held back IMO.
Cummins deserved plenty.
