2019 Rd1: Parramatta v Penrith LIVE GAME DAY thread March 17

[Basil Brush]

Jenko charged with a Grade 2 Careless

1 week with early plea or if he fights a loses. May as well challenge the grading with nothing to lose, grade 1 he misses no time

Biggest joke of the whole round is the Jennings charge.

Biggest joke of the whole round is the Jennings charge.

Always seems to be a difference in charges for some teams and others, Latrelle Mitchell, Roosters a fine - Michael Jennings , Eels a week off with a better disciplinary record.

Justify the sin bin as its base, and continues the inconsistency of the judiciary, should be fought big time, continuance of the Greenberg rules.

Spot on.

I dont know ifI am looking through rose coloured glasses but Mitchell caught Burgess above the chin and Jennings caught Yeo just under the chin. The both went to the head bin and Burgess returned but Yeo did not. Both players were falling but I Mitchell's tackle was higher. I cannot understand how the gradings are different.

Thankfully for Geoff Lawson that he took up cricket.

How does Jenko get a grade 2 for a falling player yet 176cm James Maloney hits 198cm Shaun Lane in the head and he gets nothing? He deadest had to jump to do that.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Are we going to call this combo Brane or Lown ?

[lingard]

What does that have to do with my post?

Nothing. I accidently quoted you.

Any chance Peni will be allowed back next round or is it pending Integrity Unit verdict?

Last we all heard was the club statement about the incident.

"The club will now work with the relevant authorities in New Zealand, the NRL Integrity Unit and the RLPA to investigate the incident thoroughly. This process will then guide our next steps. The club will make no further comment until the investigation is completed."

Disgraceful.

Just take it on the chin like the rest of us. Actually, some prefer it on the chin.

[forward pass]

Surely a fine only given he has already been punished. It nearly cost us the game.

Could you imagine if copped 10 in the bin, we lose and then 2 weeks?? You have to be f**king kidding.

 

[forward pass]

By the way - we seem to always just cop these charges. I don’t think we’ll fight it.

If we don't fight at least the grading, we are not doing our job.

I think the grading (within each high tackle charge type) often reflects how stiff the tackling arm is, as much as the how high the arm was. Doesn't explain why Maloney gets nothing though.

The issue I have is people seem to judge the offense based on how hurt the opposition player was.
High tackles are an accident. The 10 in bin is a silly rule. Maybe let teams have an 18th man. Or perhaps you lose the player who made the head high for the remainder of the game.

Maloneys tackle did not deserve anything and either did MJs. The guy was 2/3rds down when contact was made.

 

[eel01s]

We have to fight it - otherwise we will keep copping these bs charges. I thought they wanted "consistency" this year? Well obviously it's OK if you play for Roosters or are an Origin player.

Grade 2? Surely the sin bin was sufficient penalty given we could have lost the match?
