Hilarious that they had to charge Grant to justify the binning.
Not that a suspension would matter at this point but surprised the Cleary hip drop on Kiraz wasnt 2-3 weeks, nearly broke his leg
By that logic the manly challenge for high shot should have also resulted in a sin bin and chargeThe binning was correct on the soft side sure but there was contact. Simple solution don’t make contact

I don't get the uproar with this oneHope to see Keary missing some football.
If Sandon Smith isn't charged it's an absolute rort. Was nastier than any of the other "contact with the kicker's leg" incidents that have been in the headlines and doesn't seem to have rated an official mention yet anywhere?

It was awkward as he palmed him and then Keary grabbed his arm which he is entitled to do, he let go on the way down and Johnson was well and truly injured prior to that.
It was more like the Lussick/Ilias incident in that he made contact just after Walker kicked the ball so obviously more forceful/dangerous contact, and Walker actually went off injured.I took my eyes off the screen and missed this one.
I could cop a penalty over it and a fine (which has happened) but it was an accident so I don't think time out is required IMOlots of illegal tackles start with awkward entanglements. But it was a chicken wing, all day IMO (which may be clouded by bias, of course)
SJ being injured previously doesn’t come into it…in fact, it arguably makes it worse.
Yeah that is more what happened after watching it closely. He got there before Walker kicked it and almost tried to trap it as if it were going to be a grubber kick. He missed though and made contact so you pay the penalty in that case.It was more like the Lussick/Ilias incident in that he made contact just after Walker kicked the ball so obviously more forceful/dangerous contact, and Walker actually went off injured.
I only caught one replay of it so I'd want to watch it again before condemning Smith too much, but it actually looked like he tried to block the kick with his foot and there might have been foot on foot contact. It was almost more like a bad tackle in a football match.
Just to show that I'm not that biased, I actually didn't think the Suualii incident was that bad? He did raise the knee a little bit but the way Egan was attempting the tackle meant that sort of injury was always likely?

That post is wrong, Papali'i received a Grade 2 - thus the suspension.Am I missing something here? Same charge, different punishments?
Tell us you don't understand what a hip drop is without telling us you dont know what a hip drop is.Hilarious that they had to charge Grant to justify the binning.
