This will be a massive blow for the Knights if they lose Rogers.
If the NRL are fair dinkum, Rogers will be referred straight to the judiciary and suspended for 20 weeks minimum.
:lol:
You're the only person who thinks there was even remotely anything in it. Taia was injured as soon as he hit the ground. Unfortunate, but that's football.

Vidot, grade 1 contrary conduct, points penalty only with an early guilty plea.
Also, Mark Taufua, grade 2 careless high tackle, 1 week with early guilty plea.
LOL, Great punch.
Still, LOL at you bunch of skirts complaining about a few punches. HAHAHAHA.
20 weeks? Never fail to impress skeepie boy.
FFS, what do you expect an 18 year old to do when a bloke just starts randomly punching him in the head? Keep his cool?
Not use his knee. Vidot was being a cocky little prick all game. Every time he played the ball he was getting up mouthing off. Had a good start to the game and went to his head a bit. I actually said just before the fight that he needed to be sat on his arse. Young blokes like that need to be put in their place sometimes and Rogers did that. Everyone knows you don't use knees or feet on a footy field. He just needed to man up and accept the fact he got tuned up. Big pretty boy then walking off field high fiving players and then punching his locker when camera was on him. I reckon he has put a bit of a target on his head. Blokes like Hodges and Sailor will absolutely give it to him next year.
dog shotted a defenseless bloke and only gets 10mins?
I am amazed there are raiders fans trying to justify an attempted knee to the head of an opposing player. Rodgers was being held by 2 raiders players and devito attempts to knee him, DOG effort.
Rodgers deserves 3 weeks, as does devito. Both dogs.
I do agree, but I think Vidot should get off a bit lighter since his was reactionary, where as Rogers was a calculated blow.
There is nothing dog like about using your knee to defend yourself from a clinch when a guy is pounding your face in. That is a pretty smart thing to do actually. If he let go of the clinch then Rogers "in theory" could have kept punching him.
If the Raiders are smart they will just trot out a doctor and explain that the first few hits dazed Vidot. He cannot remember what happened and was acting on instinct in trying to get the maniac who had just king hit him like a dog off him.
Doesn't deserve anything at all IMO. If Vidot and Rogers had been in a fair fight without the king hit and Vidot had tied him up in a clinch and then just started unloading with the knee.... well that would be different. He had been punched 2-3 times before he even had time to put his hands up.
