Slater leading with the legs again. I don't recall the incident, but I hope Sia was ok and Billy got suspended.

Barnett facing 16 weeks so they say.

Billy get suspended? You are having a laugh!!

Honestly, the poll for this doesn't go far enough.
6 weeks would be not enough for this hit.

There is absolutely no justification for this - it isn't a League play gone wrong. It was a pure act of thuggery.

 

[mozza91]

Would pin a medal on Soliola for that hit on Slater tbh.

 

[MugaB]

This was 17 weeks. I think 6 weeks is a clear winner

It still amazes me how a player does that and then looks at the ref with that "i can't believe you're sending off" face... hopoate WTF did you think they would do?, you almost took his head off

I agree but the NRL are soft.

They like to say they are cracking down on foul play by sin binning soft hits like Sua. When they need to act they are often found wanting.

To me it is 12 week minimum but NAS should of had time out too

Billy slater would say anything if its against the panthers, the fact he reckons this was an accident, that hes nice bloke, who gives a f**k, he hit him in the head off the ball, you dont touch anyone that doesn't hve the ball, let alone hit them high clean on the chin, lets see him in round 14, and cop a fist on his jaw from big fish, off the ball.
There's no room in league for off the ball head highs, that's thuggery, and billys a knob, especially after the amount of shit he got away with, Melbourne were lucky they only had 2 trophies striped...
Btw last year this same "good bloke" from newy, had been accused of a racist slur to peachey when they played the titans, the timing is impeccable that it was multicultural round when he hits chris smith

Fake tough guy Fish won’t do shit.

Fake tough guy Fish won’t do shit.

He wouldn't wait to hit you off the ball, he'd rather wait till you had the ball then axe you, as for fake tough guy, that's usually reserved for guys like barnett, who wanna hit random folk on the chin in backplay, so yeah fake tough guy is getting some months off to think about how not to single handedly lose a match, by being a dumbshít

He'd deserve it but I'll believe it when I see it. They want 16, Newcastle want 7 or so, and there always is some compromise. If I were to guess 9-12 weeks, somewhere in between. It would please me if it was 16 weeks though

Oh no, all the women stopped watching RL after this hit cos Billy's so sexy according to Rothfield.

Should make it 10 so he can play penrith on his return in round 14, plus make it all unpaid, and a fine for good measure

Slater head butted his forearm though imo

 

[Perth Red]

Should be 12, will be 6.

 

[Willie Ray]

Well the one thing I've got from this thread is
retirement hasn't increased Slater's popularity
in the least.

 

[GongPanther]

It was what referred to in the 1970's as a 'stiff arm'.

A "cocked elbow" is how I saw it.

 

[GongPanther]

Let's see . . . . Collins got a $750 fine for a cannonball tackle that Ronnie Gibbs himself cringed at . . . . so I'd say a $350 fine is what's coming.

Take his OPAL card off him.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Take his OPAL card off him.

Collins benefited from both the ‘Appeared in a Matt Nable promo’ and ‘Roosters adversity’ judiciary discounts when he was charged…
