'12 | R9 | Fri | Cowboys 30-6 Dragons | Dairy Farmers

[abpanther]

Does he have to stay off?

 

[Raider_69]

I doubt it IBM
If the cowboys let them back in at this stage of the game up 24-6 and with a 13-12 man advantage, they cant blame Thurston's hit

its a dog shot though, no doubt

 

[user_nat]

10 weeks, cost me Thurston fantasy points Prior you piece of filth.

Needs to be fantasy rules for these situations.

Like all Prior's points go to Thurston. Which is probably about 2 points.

 

[Slackboy72]

Some weeks in that
Pretty poor stuff from Prior

8 to 10 if there's any damage to Thurston.
Just a ridiculous brain snap.

 

[johns_reds]

f**k no not Matt Scott, please be ok

 

[Paullyboy]

I don't see how you guys can think that's only 6 weeks. That was clearly the most deliberate act to injure a player I've seen. He has no place in the game, get rid of him.

 

[johns_reds]

Who from nq can play number 6?

** edit Don't worry segyaro (spelling?) or Payne?

 

[Karl]

What a grub.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

How bad was the elbow?

 

[Raider_69]

8 to 10 if there's any damage to Thurston.

agreed
its 6-10 weeker.
Just a dumb dumb move and he'll be punished accordingly

Payne and Segeyaro can both play in the halves.

Haha, agreed. If you're the victim of a send off, 20-30 points.

In the fair dinkum department, that's a 10 weeker that. You can see the intent was to maim.

 

[Snappy]

Geez that was bad. 6 weeks maybe? It almost looked deliberate

It was for sure, he lifted the elbow/forearm at the last second

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Bowen is embarrasing St. Merge.

 

[Raider_69]

How bad was the elbow?

He'll miss most the season with it, as said previously, its probably a 10 week suspension
so pretty bad

 

[Bretto]

Depending on if they rule that shot by Prior as intentional or reckless, he'll get 4-9 weeks the way the points system works.

Yep, 6 weeks for what was clearly deliberate seems incredibly soft. I thought 12 at a minimum from first look.

6 minimum. Sky's the limit for that. I wonder if dragon players are filthy at prior?

 

[Slackboy72]

How bad was the elbow?

It was deliberate to the right side of the face.
I suspect it was out of frustration but that sort of crap needs to be rubbed out of the game.
If you don't think so read this: http://www.smh.com.au/news/league/no-such-thing-as-a-free-punch/2006/08/25/1156012745430.html

I've no problem with Prior getting sent and suspended but I'd like to see other players who do that get their comeuppance too.

 

[MSIH]

If T-Rex got 7, Prior deserves 20.
