2016 Match Review Committee / Judiciary

[nick87]

Why do "no similar prior offences" count to loading anyways? Haha. What's a high tackle or touching a ref got to do with a shoulder charge

Bit of Karma for the grubby prick

 

[nick87]

f**k that absolute merkin and everything he stands for. The muppet wouldnt know if his arse was on fire. merkin should be lining up for Centrelink tomorrow

 

[Timmah]

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

Precedent is relevant at judiciary, not the MRC.

Anyway the NRL's explanation above.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

The MRC committee continue to be an absolute joke.

 

[carcharias]

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

both were stupid.
Wightons however looked way worse.
He didn't need to do that at all.
Way in front, the game was won and he does that.
dumb merkin.
He has a bit form at being a dumb merkin too.

Ennis should buy a lotto ticket.

Haha what a crock of shit.

To stop repeat offenders?

Repeat offenders in the context of a contact sport would imply there a clear element of control
Wighton lightly brushed against an official and was suspended, i think his other non similar was a head high tackle in which the player feel late into a collision.
How is either of those incidents relevant to this one?

The MRC committee have basically just rubbed the Raiders out of the comp. It's f**king horseshit

 

[skeepe]

What bullshit. Wighton's arm was in no way tucked into his side. Buettner's on crack.

 

[Pete Cash]

Thats the grounds we must fight it on.

What's look got to do with it? The visuals of it shouldnt matter and according to our mate at the MRC, its all about the action. In which case there is no difference between Ennis and Wighton.

This. Both of his arms are up and in front of his chest.

Repeat offenders???????????????

You mean like serial tripper Josh Reynolds who again tripped this year but recieved nothing?

Ennis didn't lead with his shoulder
Wighton definitely did.
I think it is a shit rule .
neither hit the head.

 

[nick87]

Hahaha holy shit look at that shit! And ennis gets NO charge?!
Goodness me.

I take your point given the light nature of the priors - sadly that's how the system works.

That said, I can't agree with the point above. "Rubbed out"?

You guys have the best depth in the comp and can cover this. Barely skipped a beat with Austin out on Sunday.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

There's Ennis ticking all 3 of Beuttner's boxes

Oh Charch, that's really badly timed!
Not an ideal post to make when 2 posts above is a video of Ennis leading with the shoulder. Haha
