2016 Match Review Committee / Judiciary

[carcharias]

Wighton should buy Ennis a carton.

 

[MilkShark]

Wighton the grubby pos that he is will get what's coming to him.

 

[skeepe]

This is surely the end of Buettner's reign of terror.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Right result. A stupid charge, worthy of a penalty at the most.

Happy for Wighton and Canberra, but with the Ennis decision, that has pretty much got to mean NO ONE ever gets successfully cited/suspended for a shoulder charge ever again.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Wighton should buy Ennis a carton.

He probably should TBH.

 

[sharkie23]

Shoulder charge city all weekend now, but seriously both him and ennis should have gotten a weeks holiday.

 

[Apey]

Plan B then. Wighton to go back to early 2016 form.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Thank faarrkk for that...now you guys will have nothing to bitch about when we win on Saturday!

That's what they were saying on NRL360 earlier. As long as you go in with your elbow away from your body then you're good to go.

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.

Some of your best, timtam

 

[Sleep]

I'm glad he got off but it's amateur hour in the NRL at the moment.

They knew they couldn't suspend Wighton after letting off Ennis and had to buckle to the pressure.

 

[drago brelli]

What exactly is a shoulder charge? From what I saw on TV Ennis looked like a shoulder charge to me.

 

[Pete Cash]

Its clear that by the nrls rules its not a shoulder charge. If they had charged him with a grade one dangerous contact id have not complained.

Edit

Id have complained tbh but id have known it was fair.

That's what they were saying on NRL360 earlier. As long as you go in with your elbow away from your body then you're good to go.

The MRC set the criteria which they couldn't even follow themselves. Idiots. The shoulder charge rule needs to go.

 

[Uncle Kraka]

The NRL's f**ked up interpretation of a shoulder charge is the real loser in all of this. Hopefully the rule is pissed off altogether now as there is an easy out for anyone who wants to shoulder charge.

Bring back shoulder charge with severe punishment for contact with the head

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Wighton the grubby pos that he is will get what's coming to him.

Good luck with that. See ya on Saturday

 

[carcharias]

No excuses now raiders
Home ground
10 in a row

[MilkShark]

Lol gonna grow a party when Wighton goes down with a season ending injury.
