2024 Match Review & Judiciary charges

[10$ Ferret]

Crighton's nose must be made of rubber. Did you notice how it stretched
Old man flanno will be on the whinge path, could be funny.

Any truth to the rumour that 1000s of Dragons fans that were at the game have rung the nrl wanting to give evidence that they all witnessed hom bite the other guys nose (hoping he gets a lengthy suspension)

Lol I don't think there's any excuse for biting a merkin on the nose, ladzes.

8+ weeks IMO. And Tbh Dragons fans would probably ask for life.

Not sure anyone is making excuses, just pointing out that foul play from Crichton played a role.

Does all money from these fines go to a charity? Surely the nrl don't pocket the money.

.

This was mentioned in a press statement about the judiciary from Clint Newton that the Terror reported on yesterday. All players who are fined by the judiciary, the money goes into a player hardship fund.

I would be happy with Flanno out of the team for a while, but Critta can go f**k himself. The amount of times he blew shit out of his nose during the game... get your filthy nose outta people's mouths.

It is 100% Critta's fault his nose was in Flanno's mouth. I reckon we'll see some interesting arguments around Critta being the aggressor, disease spreading actions, mouth guard blunts impact, was his nose bleeding before the incident, is there evidence of teeth mark and does it match Flanno's dental records.

Entertaining hearing with 1-2 weeks is my guess.

When I was kid on the beach
A Baby white shark pup washed up onto the beach. It looked dead. I put My finger in it's mouth you know what happened ?

Am I the only person that thinks Flanno's bite was 100% a accident?

Hello Shane.

Crichton definitely contributed to it.

Buzz reckons Flanagan gets off and Crichton gets charged. Definitely nothing to do with Buzz being a dribbling old merkin who just so happens to be best mates with the blokes dad.

Can they give Flanagan a year so the saints are forced to start a real five-eigth.

[Mr. Shaman]

Crichton probably realised he was being a little bitch after being a grub.

 

[dogslife]

I for one hope they let him off and force Dragons fans to endure the merkin. Because he's never getting dropped.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

I agree.

How in the hell does Crighton not get charged with leading with his his head in foul play and a head butt?

Bwaith Canasta must be the match review committee.

 

[yobbo84]

This could be the best defence to a charge since Souths tried to claim "acute brain hypoxia" as the reason Dave Fa'alogo decked Braith Anasta

7.30pm

Judiciary chairman Geoffrey Bellew has asked the panel members to leave the room. There is legal discussion about the directions that Bellew will provide to the panel about who the onus of proof is on.

Mr Bellew told McCallum and Perenara: “You must be satisfied that it is more probable than not that a bite was inflicted by player Flanagan.”

7.25pm

The NRL's legal counsel is Lachlan Gyles SC said that the onus is on the NRL to establish that there was a bite and once he had done so it was up to Flanagan to prove that it wasn’t intentional.

So they've just decided to reverse the burden of proof and it's on the accused to prove they aren't guilty?

Looks like they are conducting a kangaroo court.

Lol at this argument.....It is like trying to get OJ Simpson off for murder because Nicole Simpson should not have been home.
