Greg Bird copped a massive suspension for a knee to Shane Martinee that about the same force haha.

What an idiot young Bird was.

Still, obviously it was Martinees fault for not clear if the ruck.




Yep sent off and 10 weeks suspension if I recall

Bennett has the stones to say that they won't charge Roberts. Such confidence can only come from knowing you've got the nrl round your little finger
You're obviously not familiar with Brisbane's judiciary record. Bennett is trying to do what Stuart tried to do last week with wighton. Roberts will be charged and get the lowest grade they can give. It's nowhere near kasianos kick and he got 2 weeks. The is problem the MRC have is they let Nathan Brown (?) off for Stomping because there wasn't enough force or something

I love how the same merkins who gave Parker shit after getting kicked in the head by Kasiano are now blowing up deluxe about Roberts kick. Absolute immaterial wankers.
Parker got shit because he whinged to the media about it, and because the whole incident happened because Parker was holding Kasiano down.

Roberts will be charged and get the lowest grade they can give.
Kicking grade 1... 200 points. Different to Kasiano's one because there can be absolutely no doubt Roberts knew what he was kicking, there can be no question it was deliberate. I believe the MRC have given Kasiano benefit of the doubt that he was trying to free himself from a player holding him down, or else he would have got about a grade 2 or 3 kicking charge.

12 weeks...that was so long ago.

Edit: 10 weeks according to Wikipedia. The same weekend they had to scour ANZ Stadium at half time looking for Luke Swain's teeth.

Can you guys stop talking badly about that true gentlemen of league Corey Parker. Never whinges and never grubs it up. Ever

Jimmy the Jet doesn't have a good memory.
'I don't remember it' was his reply when asked about kicking Simpkins.
Probably still concussed from the chokehold at the Normanby.

Should be 2-3 weeks. Kicking should be one of those things that's just not on. Then again they've basically greenlighted tripping these days so why not kicking too? Just so long as no one can be hit too hard by a shoulder...

Fair enough decisions by the MRC this time round, hopefully they can keep it up.

Opacic in for Roberts, no biggie.

So Roberts is slapped with a lesser charge and Parker gets off without charge at all. Atleast their is some consistency... Broncos get looked after

So you're allowed to headbutt?

Not even trolling... well only slightly.

But given it was a clear headbutt and not charged we must assume you're allowed to headbutt now.

Myles has been doing it for years.

Roberts will take the early guilty plea and go on a bender.
