2025 Match Review & Judiciary charges

I watch almost every game in every round.
It's incredibly rare that a player loses his feet and puts his weight of pressure on the neck like that.

There is a reason why he binned for it, i can't remember the last time a crusher got binned, because most of them are fairly innocuous.
But the referee explained exactly why that was and why they considered it particularly dangerous, and the MRC has confirmed it as such.

But go ahead and check notes about who the dogs are playing next week, and then check your notes on who Preston plays for and who you support and have a think about who's biases might be more at play here.
Hitching your wagon to the bunkers interpretation of the rules is doubly hilarious. It was such an egregious tackle, that it was play on until Tino sooked it up. Luckily he was able to play on at all to he honest. Lucky he's not wheelchair bound. It's unlikely the "worst crusher you've seen in years" only garners a grade 1 charge either, but play on.

What goes into that milk in Canberra? Why do you all turn into soccer mums foaming at the mouth for send offs and automatic weeks for every piece of incidental contact.

You're the one getting worked up and carrying on, buddy... have a look at the histrionics you're carrying on with.
All hot and bothered because someone said the tackle was dangerous and worthy of the punishment handed down given the circumstances and prior history.

A real delicate flower, aren't you?
Don't worry mate, the dogs will be fine without Preston for a few weeks and perhaps in that time he can consider what he can do differently so that he's not attracting so many crusher charges

Being accused of histrionics by the same person claiming this is the worst crusher tackle they've seen in years is obscenely ironic

"Tino lucky to be walking if we're being honest."

Na, you're right. Lol.

But if you can find me an example in the last 2 years of a crusher tackle where the player loses his feet and puts his weight of pressure on the neck like Preston did i'll happily concede the point. I don't recall seeing one like that for in recent times though.

Preston’s tackle is exactly the kind of crusher that they are trying to get out of the game. That the on-field ref missed it is an indictment of him, not a signal that it was a nothing incident.

Clearly Preston has form since it’s his 3rd or subsequent charge for the exact same thing. Perhaps he needs to look at his technique.

Oh and lest anyone think I’m letting my bias cloud my judgement, I would have much preferred that he play this week. Given the ridiculous calls for him to play Origin, it would have given me great satisfaction to watch Hudson Young put that ugly, overrated twerp back in his rightful place.

Finally a level head has entered the chat! I'm laying down my guns.

Not because I've changed my stance, I've just given it enough air time.

Thanks for playing, champ. Better luck next time.

Dude Kurt Mann got done for one last year that was far more egregious an example, and copped his right whack for it. Guess what, I had no issue with it

Surely Jaydn Su'A had to have been charged with something??? Grade 4 contrary conduct to the ball, Bringing the game into disrepute as a minimum.

If you had no issue with the Mann suspension then why are you so hot and bothered about this one?
It's the same action from both players that causes the concern. They both leave the ground and when they do that they lose all control and the action is considerably more dangerous as a result.

That's why i said and stand by that it was one of the worst we've seen in years. But well done, Kurt Mann's is also one of the worst we've seen in recent years.

Seems to be a Bulldogs thing. Maybe they need to work on their technique a little so they can stop crushering people all the time.

It's good advice mate. I called Ciro last night and told him as such, and he said all wrestling has been banned at training because it upset too many people last time.
