Asotasi's crusher on Rhyles and Farrells tackle on Waqa taking his legs out in the air without the ball?? Gallen got time out for a crusher on Cowboys and Farrells play on Waqa could have been career ending for Waqa.. Whats the go with the match review and Rabbitohs?

Asotasi's "crusher" was a joke and more pressure was applied to Ryles shoulder than his neck. Shouldn't have even been and penalty.
The Farrell/Waqa incident was completely accidental.

Please, why ask a question, when you surely, already know the answer

A South Sydney player in 2013, would have to take a rifle onto the field and literally shoot somebody, and even then, it would be a grade one, with a guilty plea, would not miss a match .

Asostasi should have got some low graded charge, with priors (not sure his situation) determining if he is suspended. It was a deliberate attempt to put pressure on the neck, but he didnt do a very good job of it.

Don't know what to make of Farrells challenge, if he had made the tackle after waqa caught the ball waqa would have been able to land much more safely. Its kinda like those late hits on kickers where they are defenceless, the timing of the hit is what causes the problem. Not much intent but massive potential to injure a player.

God help Souths if they have to play Manly in the GF qualifier, with how mad Toovey is he will send his players out to injure Souths playmakers at the first sign of a favourable Souths call.

Plenty of spear tackles and head highs are completely accidental but get punished. Must be the only legal way of being responsible for making a player land on his head I guess? I thought it deserved two weeks. Taking a players legs out so he ends up on his head is extremely dangerous, accidental or not.

Farrell isn't David Copperfield.

He can't disappear in to thin air and he probably couldnt pull Claudia Schiffer either.

The DJ speaks the truth.

I'm still wondering why JWH didn't get more than 1 week for elbowing. Beats me though.

Asotasi should have gotten a medal for injuring Ryles and Farrell should have gone to prison for attempted murder

Can't wait to see how many Souths players you demand be suspended after this weekends matches. You're just about stupid enough.

None of those where charge worthy Farrell didn't even attempt a tackle he ran a block and shielded his head after Waqa was airborne. Absolutely nobody thought these two incidents deserved anything more than a penalty.. Apart from Souffs haters.

Asotasi's crusher was 100% nothing. If we can't handle that in our game then we need to give up and play touch.

He should have got 3 weeks IMO, Burgees should have got 8 I think some sort of deal was made with that whole Maloney 'it was just a joke' crap, when you could see him clearly fired up on field when it happened.
