You can't even get more than 6 weeks in the new system anyway can you?

Judiciary can opt for any penalty it wishes but in terms of the table of offences (republished weekly at the link in previous post), there are a couple of instances of 7-8 matches.

Am I the only one that thought the Kris tackle was pretty tame. Clumsy and deserving of a week but send off and 5 weeks is a bit much. Thought the kick chaser getting wiped out was the more dangerous part of that play

It's all optics with the NRL. If the game stops for 10 mins and Katoa gets stretchered off in a neck brace, Kris gets referred to the judiciary and suspended for 8-10 weeks (even if Katoa was fine).

Lmao aren't you the lad that calls every Parramatta tackle every game a crusher?

If some of the ones you wanted reported were worth even being looked at by the MRC this one would have been a life ban.

5 weeks is a rare nail on the head for the MRC

You're completely wrong about the tackle, but if it weren't for the tackle immediately after, Ramien's actions would be getting far more attention. Stepped off his line while Wighton was already in the air and took out his legs.

He also then wanted to start a fight on top of a guy who might have had a broken neck.

2 of the dumbest and most dangerous acts of the season only overshadowed by the fact that the most dangerous act of the season happened in the middle.

Interesting take - not sure I’ve ever read such horseshit before

You should try to read some of your own posts every now and then.
Yep, done that, stand by my original statement.
Though I’m going to upgrade it to ‘such a big steaming pile of horseshit’….
Did Ramien bully you at school or something? Root your Mrs/Mum/Sister (May all be 1 and the same)?
I don’t have a clue about you, are you a Newcastle fan and don’t like Ramien from his time there?
I’ve rewatched it, and there is nothing in anything Ramien did, and I’ve not seen or heard anyone anywhere mention him, other than you….. very strange!

So what you are saying is that if his team mate, who had just been dropped on his head, was seriously injured, it's a good idea for him to go and forcefully shove Kris down on top of him? You see nothing wrong with that at all?

But you appear to be a sharks fan so good luck with your suggestion that it's other people who are biased and not you.

f**k off idiot, half the big tough guys get off? JWH, NAS get away with murder..especially NAS. It's inconsistency you halfwit
Sorry for delayed reply. Haven't been on here.

You misunderstood me. I was talking about when a big, tough guy cops a high shot. I've seen the referees ignore it. For example, I saw Papalii from Canberra, on his knees, dazed, unable to play the ball, with blood trickling from his nose. Replay showed high conract with force. I was shocked when they never even gave a penalty.

I guess it's clear you were wrong on your other point, since JWH has been suspended for 7 matches.

Actually he was called a moron in the match thread when it happened.

Although that might just be a general comment, it was widely noted that he's a shit footy player and incredibly stupid at other points of the game too.

the storms broncos game was a classic example. Bloke got penalised for playing the ball wrong after obvious high contact. Also late hits on forwards rarely attract much attention

Can anyone tell me after the precedent last year players from teams playing finals aren’t serving them next year instead?

Also the nrl tackle of the week has a hit exactly the same as Horsburgh’s the inconsistency is crazy obvious

Nothing has been said, but my suspicion is the NRL got such a baking over last year that it won't have the gall to do it ever again.
