2024 Match Review & Judiciary charges

[Mr. Shaman]

Yeah no charge IMO.. he only tore the blokes knee.

That’ll teach Smith to not cheat next time

 

[Valheru]

Oh so he deserved it?

Anyways, the ref told him to play on

 

[Mr. Shaman]

The ref told him to play on

The ref said surrender

 

[Valheru]

The ref said surrender

I went through this in the match thread with @Chief_Chujo. He said play on and then as smith got up he said surrender.

 

[skeepe]

So every injury should see a charge?

Do you think Tedesco should be charged for his elbow fracturing Rapana's cheekbone and ending his NRL career?

Yeah every injury from foul play

Teddy caught the ball in a natural catching position and Rapana tackled him in the air.

Meanwhile Whitehead lands on the back of a leg and ruptures an ACL.

You're almost as big a sook as Robbo

 

[Valheru]

I'm just answering a question.

You might be happy with hip drops leading to ruptured ACLs as apparently everyone else on LU is but I'm not.

But yeah Robbo telling him to f**k off is the real issue here.

Tedesco's elbow impacted Rapana before the tackle. It was foul play, by your very definition.

f**king hypocrite.

lol you are tapped

 

[skeepe]

I've said all along I don't think Tedesco should be charged, because it was just a rugby league accident. You're the one claiming there's a huge distinction between the rugby league accident of Tedesco on Rapana, and the rugby league accident of Whitehead on Smith.

It was a tackle. 99% of "hip drops" aren't a real thing.
The rule was brought in to stop players dropping after the ball runners momentum was stopped, normally by multiple players

He landed on the back of his leg. I don't care if it fits under whatever definition of a hip drop they want to come up with because as you say, it's made up.

You can't land on the back of someone's leg, this is the exact injury this rule was brought in for. I'm not saying he meant to hurt him and I don't even think a big suspension is necessary, it certainly deserves a charge though.

f**k no it's rugby league. Haas took Nathan out with a similar one in the GF. It's part of the game

Falling on a leg and rupturing an ACL is part of the game?

lol righto

I don't give a f**k what happened to Nathan.

 

[kurt faulk]

But yeah Robbo telling him to f**k off is the real issue here.

It is when his players continually launch and knock out players when their shoulder hits the player's head with force.

Yes tackling is a part of rugby league, well at least for now

[Valheru]

3 charges and and the one where he ruptured a blokes ACL is 4 weeks.

That can't be right, he is a good bloke whose character is getting assassinated and it's just a rugby league tackle.

Whitehead was a busy boy on the weekend.
