[some11]

Only two club matches, good result.

KP gets a dead rubber game, good for him.

Ponga did ask not to be considered for Origin this year.

So I'd assume the hammer will take the throne.

I think they’ll bring brimson in. Otherwise yeah, hammer to fullback and maybe a swan song for gags

That's not very sexy.

Gagai on one foot, was just rested this week. His game against Penrith was one of the worst he has played in a long time. So I don't think he will feature.

Lol at Fifita turning up to testify because they are mates, and then being told by a supreme court judge that his testimony is worthless

Of course Carrigan and Fifita were going to defend Walsh.

One is a team mate and the other is an origin team mate.

I am surprised they were asked to provide evidence in the first place.

Whole thing seemed a farce tbh.

If the ref didn't think he heard it or aimed at him then I am not sure what you can do.

Maybe the language is offensive you could fine him for.

In this instance, the ban should have been increased for a frivolous challenge - the players are lying to cover up for a mate - remember Reynolds originally said on social media post that Walsh aimed it at an opposition player, and Walsh agreed - yet at the disciplinary they’ve changed their story.
The only right outcome here was for Walsh to come out and say ‘I’m sorry, it was in the heat of the moment, I should never speak to a ref like that, I need to be better blah blah blah’ - he needs to own it and learn from it. As it is, he’ll continue to think he’s bigger and more important than he actually is. Spoilt brat.

20 year old thinks he's hot shit. shocker.

(He is actually hot)

Farcical.

This sort of bullshit adds nothing to the whole "anti-Broncos conspiracy" thing. If anything it just adds fuel to the fire. The prosecution could not have f**ked up their case any more, and Walsh gets 3 games? It's a f**king laugh.

 

[Apey]

Embarrassing work from the NRL

I'm sorry you lost.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Maybe we should lobby the NRL to not include the Dolphins game in his suspension like the Pennies did with one of their players in last years finals series....

 

[JokerEel]

Yeah the prosecution just should have had Fafita and Cardigan to repeat what they said in his defence clowns the lot of them...

I am fine with that as long as he pulls his hammy like Tago did and was out longer than his suspension

 

[johns_reds]

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me

Except for when you are Luai who shoved an assistant ref and Walsh who said some mean words next to one

Blatant bias from NSW and anti Broncos Judiciary

 

[Canard]

Can someone clarify the games he will miss?

I thought he has to miss 3 NRL games, and Origin doesn't count towards the suspension?

The only "contentious" part, for mine, is the length of suspension.

I would hope that this is a bit of lesson to take ownership and admit when he was wrong. A lesson he may not have learned yet.

I'm deadly serious in saying this - just from watching the footage it seemed completely obvious to me that he was innocent? Carrigan says something to him and he swears at Carrigan. That's....literally what happened, and we have the footage.

This is the Judiciary view on that according to NRL.com

That was particularly so, in circumstances where the evidence of player Walsh was that had understood player Carrigan’s words to mean that he should “think and be smart”.

If that was his understanding, there was simply no need to ask player Carrigan what he had meant.

That factor tended against a conclusion that the words were said to player Carrigan as opposed to the referee.

 

[Canard]

This is also from the same article

In particular, the majority rejected the player’s evidence that he was not complaining to the referee when he said to him “I stopped running, I stopped running”.

That's so ridiculous lol. Irrespective of who he said it to, did the judiciary seriously think "f**k you mean merkin?" was a genuine request for a mid-game explanation?

You can quite clearly hear Carrigan say “slow your brain” and Walsh goes “what does that f**king mean c***”.

3 weeks is pathetic. I think that even if he called the ref a c***, I don’t feel it’s as bad as being called a “cheating bastard”. One is just a MeAn WoRd, the other strips you of integrity, professionalism, and competence.

Carrigan, Fifita, and Walsh had the same story. The referee did not say that he thought it was said to him.

The NRL - “CoLLuSiOn”
The tape - *matches the story from the players on the field*

Anyway, hopefully it ignites us.
