2025 Match Review & Judiciary charges

[nick87]

James Tedesco collecting Lehi Hopoate with his knee was more accidental in my opinion, but he was charged with dangerous contact even if the result of the charge will be a fine. That, at a minimum would be a comparable incident. It's why Crichton getting no charge is galling to say the least.

Yeah its really comparison
Both completely accidental with mitigating circumstances in the same damn week... both high, one charged, one not
Baffling stuff as always from MRC

Meh I'm fine with the Crighton one TBH. I don't think there was that much force in it and he did slip significantly. Crighton didn't come out of the line Suali'i style.

Having said that, I completely get the inconsistency issue and that less has been binned and charged etc

He may have slipped into it, but Crichton used the top of his shoulder which collected him in the head. I mean it was only a couple of years ago a Dragons player was charged and (IIRC) suspended for a similar type hit on James Tedesco. I can remember the outcry from some about how Teddy was always "falling into" tackles, and that and similar incidence were on him.

At the end of the day, Crichton used an illegal action, namely a shoulder charge, to affect the tackle. It was accidental to some extent, but considering the conditions, you have to take into account that using a "tackling technique" outlawed in the rules may have unintended consequences. That's why I agree with Nick, Crichton should have been charged. Its inconsistency by the MRC when you look at matters holistically.

No issue with Seyfarths suspension and agree it was a worse hit. Hell I dont think I could have argued if he was sent.

Still think Crichton incredibly lucky, and if it was say Phil Sami he's facing a decent stint on the sideline.

Sami is still trying to regain consciousness from that hit that had no effect on him grounding the ball.

Penrith's rap sheet forced NRL to act, Abdo says

Andrew Abdo says the sixth incident involving a Penrith trainer in five seasons forced the NRL into strong action after the Panthers received a whopping $50,000 fine and five-game ban for Corey Bocking.

People are actually upset that Taylan May got knocked out? Was great viewing

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Tedesco should’ve been sent, was never attempting to play the ball.
