Considering how all the Rorter players on the field and on the bench carried on toward him,I don't blame him at all for what he did after he scored. As for people having a different opinion, it wouldn't matter what he did, Haters gonna hate.
I get that, but he got abused by the Roosters bench coming off the field when sent for 10. Reports are they got off the bench, JWH, Crichton, Radley, and that Robinson had to step in and back them off. Not to mention the abuse Sua allegedly copped from one of the Roosters "officials" who had no place to be doing that.
Maybe because you are across the ditch you can open it but you can't open it from an Australian site, that's handy though because you can always copy/paste the article.
I reckon you're right Southy. I'm sure he can view it because he's in NZ.Maybe because you are across the ditch you can open it but you can't open it from an Australian site, that's handy though because you can always copy/paste the article.

Considering what happened to George for a much lesser act, you would think they would throw the book at those Rorter "tough guys" However as they know the epic meltdown Robinson will have if they do, they'll just get a slap on the wrist. NRL - National Rorter League.
That's exactly what I'm expecting to happen.
Its interesting to contrast how Sam Burgess did NOT carry on like Manu when Graham smashed his boat race after 10 seconds of a GF. Burgess went that entire contest sans making any complaint to Graham nor asking for sympathy. Burgess did not carry on and run up to Graham crying to him and all, to a man who deliberately targeted his face as he was being tackled by Klemmer/Tolman I believe. Burgess carried on playing with blood continually streaming down his pained, swollen face. Inglis actually went up to him several times asking him to leave the game. And Graham received zero punishment, in fact Gould & co. who hung Mitchell immediately, thought the incident was "accidental" just an unfortunate collision!! Balderdash! And Graham repeated the dose against Dave Tyrell when the score was 14-6.
Look I get what your saying and I can't argue against any of it, only that the Burgess one was deemed an accidental head clash, whereas Latrell got Manu with his shoulder which is always deemed illegal contact.
Congratulations to Gal. Finally someone in the media telling it like it is. No agendas,no bias. My respect for Gal has just gone up massively.Paul Gallen making a whole lot of sense:
No that's not it. Like I said before, when I first opened the article, I was able to read the whole thing so I posted the link because I was thinking it may not have been a 'pay for view' article.Maybe because you are across the ditch you can open it but you can't open it from an Australian site, that's handy though because you can always copy/paste the article.

Welcome to the forum mate. What a way to kick it off! Great first post, I couldn't have put it better myself!!
Fantastic stuff from Gal there. Speaking some real sense. I wish more people would see this, that'd shut them upPaul Gallen making a whole lot of sense:
I think you need glasses or take those red and green one's off - need to read up on the injury Manu sustained - you don't have as many plates and screws holding the fractures together as Manu required for a minor injury to that part of the face though. Goolagong-Mitchell was lucky it wasn't referred directly to the judiciary. As for Gould and co you don't have to have played the game to know what a high tackle is - Gould played during the Jim Comans Judiciary era where that type of tackle would get a lot longer than 6 weeks - 16 or so
Fined for telling the truth you should be saying - I wonder what would have happened if that happened when Adrian "Mozza" Morley was playing for the Chooks though
Gallon's been in too many scrums - to think that every high tackle is an accident without intent and or malice is like believing in fairies at the end of the garden.
What would you know about telling the truth Joseph? You are yet to do so in your whole tenure on LU. As for Morley, I could ask you what would have happened if the Rorter players tried to be tough guys when we had Les Davidson playing for us?
Sick of seeing comments like this. Go and have a look at my in depth post earlier on in the thread where I've posted pictures of the incident and explained how it was completely an accident.
Probably because there wasn't a swinging arm
