Well there's no choice but to fight that. What a f*cking shambles the MRC are.

 

[Timmah]

While I think Ennis should have been charged, you really can't defend Wighton's one. Stupid, dumb, idiotic thing to do and deserves a spell.

Ennis should be facing suspension - the inconsistency is certainly alarming, but that still isn't an excuse for Wighton to walk free.

It absolutely is!

 

[Pete Cash]

I think we have grounds to fight it but jesus thats brutal.,

 

[Timbo]

I honestly don't know how to react.

Ennis - late cheapshot, no charge.
Wighton - brainsnap defending a linebreak, out for season.

This is just so completely f**ked. I have no words as to what a joke the NRL are.

Hahaha. Of course it is! They let him walk without so much as a charge and then level a grade f**king 2 at a player Ennis's team plays this week for virtually the same f**king thing!
Christ Tim Tam, sort it out

 

[thorson1987]

As if we needed further proof the MRC are a joke.

Oh well, time to sit back and await skeepes reaction.

 

[yobbo84]

Almost as bad as having a bloke miss an elimination final + another game for throwing a water bottle. Or having someone miss a GF for a "dangerous" tackle where the player landed flat on his back. It's nothing new from these imbeciles.

 

[seanoff]

LOL. Holy %$^&

Who did they forget to bribe?

4 down to 3. I have no words.

 

[carcharias]

imo neither Ennis or Wighton should be suspended...but Wighton's looked heaps worse.
I'd say there was more shoulder than Ennis.
Ennis was kind of just blocking
wighton was flying in like a lunatic

 

[Tommy Smith]

Never in doubt.

What. A. Disgrace.

The Raiders must fight this. They're being f**ked before our eyes.

 

[Timmah]

Also worth noting the 40% loading has worked against him. He loses an extra week for that.

 

[Timmah]

It absolutely is!

I don't get this mentality.

Because Person 1 escapes punishment, we don't charge Person 2?

Imagine if our criminal system worked like that. FMD

Probably because he's a fullback defending a ball carrier on a line break rather than just a grub hitting a bloke late, hahha

It's just absolutely ridiculous that Ennis can be told "no case to answer for" and then slap Wighton with a grade 2. I mean honestly

 

[skeepe]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

Get f**ked.

It's called precedent Tim and our criminal system does work like that.

Yet Zane Musgrove got suspended for this. No consistency.
