That charge for Nikorima is genuinely cooked

Like WTF

Annesley has to go

 

[This Year?]

Why isn't it 5 weeks like the Couchman one?
Non-Dargon discount?
Dolphin discount?
Good bloke discount?
*edit* Just noticed the 1st offence. /outrage

 

[Delboy]

That charge for Nikorima is genuinely cooked

Like WTF

Annesley has to go

Strange that so many posters commented on the request from Parra re some cap relief from the NRL for long term injuries caused by foul play and a the shorter sentence received by the player charged.

As this occurs to clubs , the opposition to that softens.

 

[Apey]

How'd Hudson Young stay on if they decided it was a Grade 2 and Sua had to leave the field.

 

[Bazal]

Bro that Nikorima charge is the biggest joke the MRC have ever pulled. Worse than the accidental Simonsson dislocated ankle incident.

Run a broom through the joint

 

[Captain Apollo]

That charge for Nikorima is genuinely cooked

Like WTF

Annesley has to go

WTF are you talking about Annesley for? He's not on the Match Review Committee, and they are the ones that decide the charges.

 

[Timmah]

Why isn't it 5 weeks like the Couchman one?
Non-Dargon discount?
Dolphin discount?
Good bloke discount?

Didn't Couchman get referred directly to judiciary?

 

[soc123_au]

Frodo shouldn’t have even been penalised. Sucks for Kenny, but sending the Baggins to Mordor for a weeks doesn’t change anything.

 

[yobbo84]

WTF are you talking about Annesley for? He's not on the Match Review Committee, and they are the ones that decide the charges.

He is in charge of football for the NRL and every aspect of the game, including MRC, has gone backwards under him

 

[Diesel]

That charge for Nikorima is genuinely cooked

Like WTF

Annesley has to go

Seems light considering Mitch is missing 8-10 weeks

 

[Bazal]

Seems light considering Mitch is missing 8-10 weeks

And now that we're sin binning and suspending for complete accidents, a lot of blokes will miss almost as long for no reason.

It fit none of the markers the NRL themselves created for what a hip drop is. It was just a legs tackle that ended up with an awkward tangle of bodies.

 

[Maximus]

Seems light considering Mitch is missing 8-10 weeks

Seems excessive considering Kenny only got 1 week for putting Iongi out for 8 weeks.

 

[Diesel]

Seems excessive considering Kenny only got 1 week for putting Iongi out for 8 weeks.

Yeah but you can’t give excessive bans to the media favourites
