2017 Judiciary & Match Review

[NK Arsenal]

Should have been minimum 5 weeks what a grub

 

[Rabbit toes]

2 or 6 weeks it won't matter. It'll be the bears missing him not Souths after his game yesterday.

 

[yobbo84]

The fact he got 2-3 and Hunt gets 4-6 is madness.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

100% correct ruling

Those saying otherwise should leave it to those with the expertise & authority

Lol so who does this one belong to?

 

[no name]

Don't think it was a deliberate elbow, he swung out to push him and missed with his palm and connected with elbow. Two weeks is fair. If it had been just befor RLWC it would have been ten weeks probably.

So your defence of his act is that he is absolutely unco?
His pathetic attempts at punching after the elbow may favour your theory, but for mine he was trying to elbow Barnett.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Two weeks is fine.

Or it would be if every other punishment was in proportion..

We'd have about three blokes suspended per year.

 

[Bazal]

Should have been sent off...

 

[Perth Red]

Just seen the other angle on fox, forget it he clearly lifts the elbow which shows it was deliberate. Lucky boy.

 

[Canard]

Souffs leg ups continue.

 

[Rabbit toes]

Souffs leg ups continue.

Yep, these 2 weeks for George guarantees us the premiership

 

[Knight76]

So a deliberate elbow to the head of another player not in possession, not in a tackle, but standing there, is a grade 2 striking.

Judiciary have spun the grading wheel of fortune again on that one.

If Mitch had of hit the ground, gone off for a HIA and came back on a bit later. Burge would have been sent no doubt, and would be facing much longer on the sidelines. It's the invisible injury loading.

 

[perverse]

He would have been damn near deported if he played for us instead of them.

Just the usual NRL travesty. Nothing to see here.

 

[Canard]

Yep, these 2 weeks for George guarantees us the premiership

The fact that he is a garbage player isn't the issue, the fact that players from certain clubs get preferential treatment is.

 

[mozza91]

He should feel lucky that he deliberately elbowed a Knights player. I'm surprised Barnett didn't cop 6 weeks for headbutting his elbow.

 

[Knight76]

It's a bullshit charge. If Barnett's jaw was broken would the charge be grade 2 still?

 

[DiegoNT]

Souffs leg ups continue.

We get george Burgess back in 2 weeks. That's a pretty big punishment

 

[no name]

I wonder what Matt Prior thinks of this. At least he was attempting to make a tackle.

 

[Captain Apollo]

The charge table for yesterday's games from the NRL's website -

 

[Knight76]

I've got it, it's an early April fools. He's going to get to the judish and have them yell fooled you, it's really grade 4!

 

[Nealo 12]

I'd say The Gladiator made a few phone calls !
