Cook didnt get sited for punching, so the chin shouldnt have much to worry about.what is your criteria?
Clearly visible on replay
Cleary has his arms between the Legs of storm player
The player is passed the horizontal
The storm player lands on neck/lower head.......
The difference between a "serious" injury and sore head , is PURE luck.
Pure luck resulted in Manu getting a busted cheek ........and LM 6 weeks.
If Cleary does not get a minimum of 1 WEEK , there is a serious inconsistency.
Whether the game is GF or normal game should have nothing to do with the Charge , IF Fair And Consistent.
Cam Smith and Isaac Luke both missed a GF due to "suspensions" due to illegal tackles where no player was injured.

you mean when he spanked Munster ? Should be fineThere was a couple of incidents where I thought JFH might find himself in trouble - I can’t remember what happened, but 1st incident I just remember thinking to myself ‘that’s a silly tackle the week before a GF’, then about 5 mins later he did a head slam type tackle on Kaufusi (the irony) that saw him drop the ball.
He shouldn’t but he will if they’re consistent. Neither should Isaac Luke or Cameron Smith have missed GF’s for their minor offences.Cleary won't miss a grand final for that.
I actually don’t want him to get suspended because it will make for a better game buts it’s a kick in the teeth to the rest of the guys who do cop 3-4 week bans for similar tackles. Josh Aloiai should have received nothing for that throw.The chin didn't get cited for a blatant shoulder charge in the middle of the season. The NRL's love child certainly won't be getting cited in GF week for that tackle.
2 games is fairI actually don’t want him to get suspended because it will make for a better game buts it’s a kick in the teeth to the rest of the guys who do cop 3-4 week bans for similar tackles. Josh Aloiai should have received nothing for that throw.
They will find every reason under the sun NOT to charge but fine him, you watch. If they’re consistent though, 2-3 weeks is a bout correct…2 games is fair
Its far more dangerous than 90% of crushers or high shots
I meant for Aloiai. They got that charge rightThey will find every reason under the sun NOT to charge but fine him, you watch. If they’re consistent though, 2-3 weeks is a bout correct…
Cameron Smith’s minor offence?He shouldn’t but he will if they’re consistent. Neither should Isaac Luke or Cameron Smith have missed GF’s for their minor offences.
Fair call but to miss a GF, harsh as..Cameron Smith’s minor offence?
He tried to decapitate Thaiday multiple times.
Honestly, I would have given Aloiai a fine at the most but the way they’re charging these days it’s not surprising. Which is why this will be huge if Cleary gets off….I meant for Aloiai. They got that charge right
We will never hear about the Cleary tackle again
None of the media mentioned it again. If he wasn't the golden shower child there would have been wall to wall coverage
The chin didn't get cited for a blatant shoulder charge in the middle of the season. The NRL's love child certainly won't be getting cited in GF week for that tackle.
