Intentionally attacking the head of a player.
Theres no excuse.
He should be out for 2 games minimum.

Well then every week there will be 20 people out of the game because of it. And if thats the case Lockyer will be out for 2 games. [SIZE=-1][/SIZE]

Regardless of whether Smith should or shouldn't get a ban for the tackle, Waldron's "integrity" defence is downright absurd. He's made himself a laughing stock.


I agree, pretty stupid thing to say. Shouldn't matter who the player is, or what he says.

He has done a great job for us, but he can say some stupid things every now and then.

Carmon Smith is the face of the world cup they won't do sh*t about his case.

I've lost respect for him on that tackle.

Hear that Cauldron bloke on the big sports breakfast thismorning?
He was playing it down blaming Sydney in some sort of witch hunt with that us and them mentality.

Apparently BRS came to their aid and said no body was injured in the tackle it's all A-ok.

You watch him worm his way out of this one.
$1:10 he gets off and plays this Friday.

He pulled the guys head then twisted his back in two while another bloke was tearing his arm out of his socket.

Got any evidence of Lockyer trying to wrench someone's head off? Or are you just talking out of your arse?

Unfortunately.

Sorry BRS.

That's no way for a team to lose.

If he gets sited will he follow this path:

1. Fight the charge (obvious)
2. When suspended for "x" games immediately seek leave to appeal
3. Appeal granted freeing Smith to play
4. Appeal date set for after the GF
5. Original suspension stands
6. Smith serves suspension in first few pool games of the world cup

Leave to appeal cases are heard on the Thurday/Friday before the match. And appeal is only granted on a point of law so to speak. In short it won't happen that way. The only way is to "appeal" the leave to appeal decison in the Supreme Court (has occurred in the AFL)

Don't think a player has ever geen given permission to play with a judiciary charge pending.

Balmain tried hard with Blocker Roach in 1988. Got a 4 match ban in the last round for belting someone from Manly. Last game of the ban was the GF. Balmain tried to sign him up with Wigan for a game before the GF, so he could serve his last match as a suspended Cherry Red!

NSWRL wouldn't grant the transfer :lol:

the MRC are taking a looooooong time and 2GB said they've asked for more camera angles

i have a horrible feeling not one Melbourne player will be charged

Didnt take 1000 angles to charge him with his tackle on Tate in round one.
If he doesnt get suspended then it will be a bigger farce than when Morley wrote a letter saying he was under no threat when Hindmarsh grappled him in 2005

How many more angles do they need?, this one gives a pretty clear view of Cameron Smith trying to take his' head off surely?
