[forby]

Unless you’re name is JWH and you play for the Roosters!

Are you saying they’re lenient on him? He’s been charged near 20 odd times and served 13 weeks collectively. His offence wasn’t worth a suspension this time.

 

[blue bags]

i would like to zee the record of NRL charges, citing, suspensions, fines
JWH, Sammy burgess. would have high numbers

I'm pissed Kikau is rubbed out, but I also think JWH got the right penalty. Him being sat down for the week would also have been over the top.

I’m pissed for you. He gets two weeks rest instead one now. Extra fresh for the GF and hopefully he’ll be a little bit smarter too.

 

[Smug Panther]

The only issue with JWH is that the weak prick will only hit backs. Goes to piss when someone his size takes him on

We still need to get through a prelim.

 

[The_Frog]

Not surprising. Its only the Panthers

Was a pretty foolish tackle. The penalty led to a try and now he's out of a big final. He needs to grow up.

I know. You just be nervous and I’ll be confident for you.

 

[soc123_au]

I know. You just be nervous and I’ll be confident for you.

I'll go along with that. Ha ha.

 

[roofromoz]

Hoops said he would likely get off which only increased the likelihood of Kiks getting suspended.

 

[nick87]

Still it was no worse than what Slater, Mini & Wighton all managed to beat to not miss a final.

I cant remember the particulars of the Mini/Slater cases, but Wighton got off on nothing more than technicality on how they worded the definition of the charge
That's the only reason. They said for a shoulder charge the arm had to be tucked in, his was not and at that point the charge was cooked

That was just pot luck cashing in on incompetency from the law makers of the game. Nothing more.

Fair point. The mini one was the worst of the lot. It would have been shit for him to retire suspended, in my mind that was the perfect time to change the points required to miss finals games.

Personally I don’t think it was either..

Additionally Ennis had escaped any punishment for an identical shoulder charge, I think it was a week earlier.

 

[Fangs]

Viliame Slater would have put up a different defence.

No i think it was the same week..Cronulla played the Storm in Melbourne, the Raiders played the Tigers at Leichhardt.

yeah Ennis got off around the time for the same thing, it was impossible for them to deny us under the circumstances. No arm tucked.

They changed the wording that off season.
Hard to argue against Kikau not lifting in that tackle, there was no technicality to argue

 

[Pete Cash]

Wightons was an idiotic tackle. We were very lucky to game the wording of the rules.

A dangerous throw is pretty black and white. Kikau is probably unlucky because it was pretty mild but getting the hands in that position and the opposition player landing like that is gonna be tough to argue

 

[Greenfields]

Yeah it was. The whole thing was pretty amusing. Michael Buettner (MRC) explained why Ennis didn’t get charged but in doing so he perfectly described Wighton’s tackle which he got charged for. Love the NRL.
