These ex-players are sending mixed messages to the administrators. On the one hand they want to stamp wrestling out of the game, but then they turn around and say, oh but not in semis and it's not a game for sissies. I really think they should probably both go, but perhaps that would be inconsistent. The only argument that I can make in favour of both of the Smith's is that these types of wresting incidents have rarely been penalised, much less referred to the judicary, all season. It would be a little inconsistent in my opinion, if they were to be suspended at this late stage of the season.

There is a difference between having 1 small suspension over the course of the whole season then having multiple.

That one small suspension, and this charge, show him to be a repeat offender.
Caught once, punished.
Caught again = repeat.

Only way to sort out this wrestling crap is lengthy bans....just like they have done with spear tackles.

Set a min penalty of maybe 4 weeks and see how long it takes for them to get the message.

BTW for those who like wrestling its on 9 on Sundays....go watch it and FOAD.

It was a grapple nad he deserves suspension. Ill be glad when they get this crap out of the game. I am proud that my team is the team that probably does it the least although I am sure it cost us this year

Cameron Smith deserved to be sat down for the season. That "tackle" was nothing but attacking the head of an opponent.

I personally don't care if he doesn't make the WC team either - there are adequate other hookers around to take his place that don't need that as part of their game.

C'mon judiciary, take a stand and lay the platform for some more skilful footy next season!

Exactly!

This is not just about getting the dangerous cheating out of the game.

It's about getting our game back to good skillful footy.

"but For A Player Like Him (smith), Who's A Real Ornament To The Game, Who Never Plays Outside The Rules, To Miss A Preliminary Final And Maybe A Grand Final, It's Just Not Rugby League.

I don't understand Geyers comment here at all, if CAMeron Smith played within the rules he wouldn't be cited by the MRC.
Geyer took 1 too many knocks to the head me thinks.

Ofcourse Geyer thinks it's wrong. He wants his brother to finish up with another premiership ffs..

And Sattler is too? And Phil Gould? Who all thought is was a joke?
What a dark day in the history of the NRL.

In your opinion of course.

Plenty of other clubs have whinged about Smith's (and the Storms) tackling/grappling technique too .... i believe it was Elliot and the panthers that blew the whistle on them over 5 years ago.

It's about time the grub got what he deserved, that tackle on Thaiday was a shocker !!
