The Game 2023 NRL Match Review Charges & Judiciary

[soc123_au]

Luai being charged is ridiculous. Maybe a bit of karma for a few he has gotten away with, but as a stand alone it's beyond a joke.

 

[Canard]

How many weeks has Finucane missed since signing with the Sharks?

Jason Ryles will tell him he needs to settle down soon

 

[League Unlimited News]

Has AFB had 'no priors'? I'd assumed he'd had a few charges in the past 12 months?

Addin Fonua-Blake has no priors

I'm a bit shocked Ponga & Best weren't charged with going in dry without consent.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

JWH still protected

 

[Chimp]

Can anyone tell me what the point of a plea of no contest is?

I think you can only use the EGP so many times, so better to just take the full ban now than lose your EGP and get a similar ban come finals, where an EGP might have see your punishment down graded to just a fine, or less matches.

This isn't correct, there are no limitations on the use of the early guilty plea.

Previously (prior to the current system being put in place in 2022), "no contest" was used to offset points accumulation during the regular season - if it was beneficial to a player to plead no contest and sustain a suspension more immediately rather than have an accumulation of points hanging over them later, some opted to do that. This was especially useful to diminish points balances for players who were injured in the same game they were cited in.

The sole reason to use it now would be how it was used by Elliott Whitehead in Round 12. He sustained a pectoral injury that has kept him out since then (and was described by the club as indefinite at the time).

He was charged twice in that game and with his record his options were $3k or 2 matches for both charges.

Rather than be out of pocket $6k, he elected to plead no contest to one of the charges and early guilty the other, so he only had to pay a $3k fine and if his injury had healed in a fortnight he could then return.

"Direct, forceful" contact is not a grade 1 careless. Once again the bunker and MRC at odds with each other. So one of them is wrong (and it's not the MRC).

I hope Sutton is OK, the replay showed just how hard his head/neck got jammed by Tatola's body in an unfortunate accident. It had nothing to do with Milne who was bracing for impact and left his feet carelessly to get his head out of the way.

Penalty sufficient, and just like AFB last week, an overreaction from the bunker.

In 2023, making high contact and leaving the ground is almost always a sin bin.

I'm not sure that Demetriou is complaining about.

In any year, Taane Milne making high contact is a sin bin

The man is a complete mental case

 

[Mr Angry]

Worst part of that is they play McInnes 90kgs soaking wet.

Then Williams, I do not get that.
