The Game 2023 NRL Match Review Charges & Judiciary

It only needs a minor tweak.

3rd and subsequent charges should never be a fine.

So instead of 2 weeks guilty plea or $3000 fine for early plea, you simply replace the fine with a 1-week suspension.
Something that’s only worth a fine should never be a suspension no matter how many times you do it. Keep increasing the fines substantially after the first offence.

The Horse suspension is genuinely baffling
Honestly not sure what they're looking at.
Exactly Nick.
He was relatively square on which sort of negates a shoulder charge.
Seriously this game is getting soft.
I still don't think the shoulder charges should be banned/charged unless you contact the head and the attacking player is blindsided.
When your blind side an attacker the shoulder charge can really do some damage.
The majority of front on tackles where the head is not hit is safe. I've formed that opinion after playing the game for over 20years.

They must have had a bet to see if he'd cry when he lost, it can't possibly for the "shoulder charge" cough cough.


I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Stickys house if somehow Maria gets off his.

Didn’t deserve 4 weeks, but they should have a live camera on Ricky. Fox dropped the ball there

I don't even care that it happened to my bloke, that Horse suspension is a f**king disgrace.

If that's seriously the direction the game is heading, we are sooo f**ked. Hargreaves deserves 12 weeks if that is the standard by severity.

Was it actually a different tackle to the one I posted? I don't understand how they rule that is a shoulder charge.

Not as if he wrapped his arm around it’s on par as much as ai hate the rule

Do you have a video that shows his right arm?

Because if you are basing it on what the NRL said, his claim that the left arm isn't out either is clearly false to anyone with eyes.

You can see that neither the right arm that makes contact or the left arm is out to wrap or tackle the player.

up to Corey (and their counsel) to prove he wrapped his arm in a tackling motion not a shoulder charge one we all know it was the latter. I hate the rule though and the penalty for shoulder charges are too harsh. It’s consistent with how it has been going this year.
