Grade 3? WTF are the MRC smoking?

Obviously they have taken the Cat 1 into consideration, but your average Rooster gets concussed crossing the road. Has there ever been a more pudding headed team in the games history?
But he wasn't crossing the road....That was a thuggish act.

For arguments sake, NAS takes the early plea the breaks his arm tomorrow and as a result would have been ineligible to play in the grand final regardless of getting his downgrade, does the grand final count as a game missed through his suspension?

Yes all on field suspensions have always been like this

I thought they couldn’t used hits that escaped charge as precedent. Either way this is convenient theatre NRL will be disappointed if there is no challenge
Yes. Teams can't use incidents which didn't receive a charge as evidence - which is stupid. It's their way of saying that teams can't use their inconsistency against them.

Honestly didn't think it was that bad.

Looks like contact was with the chest, he lowered himself showing a duty of care. Arm would have wrapped completely around if it wasn't for his team mate.

I think maybe they want to take the appeal and its accompanying media circus out of the equation. There is absolutely no possibility he gets this downgraded two grades, especially after Cam Murray failed to get a downgrade for a very similar shoulder to the head just a few weeks back.

Didn't they remove being able to use precedent in your defence in a kind of 'don't use our words against us' type ploy?
Yep. It's basically a case of "we can use precedent against you, but you can't use it against us."
