Cameron Smith

[Frank_Grimes]

I just posted similar on the Sharks forum , that was worse than Gals racking of Laafranchis

No it wasn't idiot. Gallen's incident was far worse.

That being said it was the worst example of a grapple and he should be sitting in the stands for the rest of Melbourne's finals campaign.

funny as hell seeing you lot get owned by a female (no sexism intended)

Because she uses sex as a weapon? Not to doing to good in the footy sense though, is she? Where the topic should be.

Ikin reckons it's not really a grapple! WTF?

No wonder parents don't want their kids playing the sport.

You have no idea. Do you know what a grapple tackle is? Smith didn't have his arm around the neck, or twist or anything like that.

Thats a good example of what ISN'T a grapple and hence, he will get off.

Should get a charge tomorrow.

Hoffman in doubt as well.

Good.

What did Matty Rogers get for his "grapple"?
Smith's was far worse than that!

The bloke attacked the head of an opponent and twisted him around with such force that it almost ended up a spear tackle.You storm fans are kidding yourselves if you think Smith is gonna get off for this.2 weeks minimum,wouldn't be suprised if he gets more.

He has an arm round both sides of the neck. classic example of one

 

[jc155776]

rogers got 2 weeks.

 

[Noa]

Actually I think his hidden hand a handfull of Thaidays jumper, it was his front arm that is going to be under the micro-scope.

There was a similar incident last year involving GI and Greg Eastwood, where GI was found to have no case to answer.

Could go either way.

i think a grapple tackle is when a player wraps his forearm and bicep around a players neck and chokes him, watch the footage and all cam smith does is grab thaiday with his hand from the bottom of the chin and pushes him back over himself, sure i agree it was not pretty and very silly, but i dont think he can get charged with a grapple..

but i dont think he can get charged with a grapple..

Attacking the head of a opponent then

 

[Butters]

Does anyone have a pic/vid of the "Grapple" in question? I was at the game so i didn't exactly get a close up look of it.
