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

[LESStar58]

Readnt of ALL horizontal tackles

Seriously,if the victim of this tackle gone awry had played for melbourne you'd be screaming blue murder

If Slater was make a quadraplegic from a unlucky tackle you'd be screaming,remember Melbourne has form with giving players broken necks

And on what basis are you judging what you consider my "hypothetical" reaction on if the roles were reversed or if it happened to a Storm player?

The emotion in your words,the use of capitals in ALL

no way the game would become like touch football

its getting too fast as it is now

Far better then changing to a 5m rule and other rubbish that will come out of this horrible episode.

Can someone tell me if Rod Wishart was playing for the Storm when he dumped Tim Brasher on his head? My memory is a little hazy. Want to see if this "Storm started it" thing is true.

Why do people want the rules changed.

Did everyone want the rules changed for jumping in the our contesting for the ball when Yow Yeh broke his ankle?

Storm invented all things illegal and dodgy in the NRL. Everybody knows that.

Emotion. Yep lots of that this week. Funny that.

yep. All. Regardless of who it happens to and regardless of injury. Put someone in a similar position and it should be 7 to 11 weeks. If Mckinnon doesnt come off as worse as he did this is a grade one or two charge at best.

7 Weeks for Jordan McLean

 

[Jason Maher]

Including the squirrel grip?

 

[The_Savage_1]

7 weeks

 

[typicalfan]

Kind of harsh but can live with that.

How many did Inu get for that vicious tackle last year?

 

[BunniesMan]

7 is slightly more than I would have given him. But they seriously need to pull this up EVERY time it happens.

 

[mxlegend99]

He gets 7 weeks when 3 other player made the exact same tackle in the same game and didn't even get penalised.

If they dont give 7 weeks to every player who does the same tackle, then they're not punishing him for an illegal tackle. They're punishing him because a player is injured... And that sends the message that lifting tackles are fine UNLESS the worst case scenario happens. Solving nothing. The judiciary fails epically yet again.

Lucky to only get 7, lol at Storm would serve 6 if he sat out last week

5 wasn't it?

 

[Usain Bolt]

5 iirc

 

[ByRd]

And Inu's was a million times worse, this is too harsh, 2-3 weeks would have been more fair

That's infallible logic.

Oh please he has put the bloke in hospital! Whether you like it or not injury comes into it
