Alex McKinnon possibly Quadriplegic - Mclean guilty of dangerous throw - 7 weeks

NRL Judiciary panel told not to consider the injury when deciding their vedict

Melbourne in typical Melbourne fashion blame everyone apart from Jordan....seriously

Not sure if thats the quote you were referring to mate, I just think he was passing the info on.

I actually agree with that sentiment, all I want is some consistency either way.

I wonder if they're to consider the injury when deciding the punishment as opposed to the verdict

After that, If Jordan gets any more than 4 weeks for that it's a disgrace

 

[MrAnonymous]

If they're not considering the injury and he gets any more than zero its a disgrace.

Im predicting 2 weeks. .

yeah min 2 - max 4

 

[BunniesMan]

I've said all along 4 weeks is an appropriate punishment to stamp this out.

But whatever he gets is a very small part of the solution.

The refs need to absolutely crack down on this. Blow a penalty and put blokes on report EVERY time it happens.

They were very strict years ago but it has crept back in the game.

Guilty. Determining sentence

Good. 4-8 weeks.

Actually ended up with a compression fracture of my vertabrae .
Played from 13 until I was 21.

That injury was the end .

I know what I'm talking about.

U may know what your talking about in regards to your injury, but to say you'd go and shoot someone for a tackle like that on your own kids tells me you know nothing about the regular contact in the game- clearly. 8 years u played, at 21 ur not fully grown, and assuming you only played in a junior league based comp, you therefore lack the knowledge to understand how quick and fast the NRL is. In light of your shooting comment you are a complete imbecile.

 

[Tayjack]

If they are taking the injury sustained out of the decision, won't he get off as this bloke has no loading yeah????? He has never been to the judiciary b4, just because it was referred surely he escapes.

 

[The_Savage_1]

NRL counsel asking it to be graded a 3 or 4 Dangerous throw...

so that seems to be the worst case scenario

I was actually saying if I saw 3 blokes do that to my kids off a footy field.

But you just keep going scoop.

If they do decide to take the injury out of the equation, I just hope it stays that way forever.

One of your better posts.

perhaps that was reckless rather than careless as...

Judiciary prosecutor Peter Kite has just asked for Jordan McLean to be suspended for 7-11 weeks. Defence now putting across their submission

 

[BunniesMan]

@LeagueUnlimited
Judiciary latest: #NRL counsel request between 7 to 11 weeks suspension

Considering the defense thinks it deserves 0, I'd say compromise is around 4-5

 

[The_Savage_1]

you would have to suspect the defence will be requesting careless grade 1 and using other similar tackles (barring the outcome of course) as an example

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Anything less than 10 weeks will result in media stories calling it a soft penalty. Even 11 weeks would do that too probably.

 

[georgesnmith]

7 - 11 weeks ...and they said they arent considering the injury BS
