Marsh's tackle is a silly comparison.....Im assuming its a poor attempt to sidetrack the issue.

A very poor one.

Webcke = very lucky.

look, you f**king morons, you keep going at charlie for 'having nothing' when really, its YOU who have nothing. The judiciary didnt give webcke a week, so really, charlie's arguements seem to be valid to those who matter, and yours can go f**k themselves. He turned him up and he let go, he had a brain snap but as soon as he realized what he was doing webcke let him go. You think he should have put some force into it as well eh? morons.

Stop acting like your 100% right, because obviously, while i do agree the judiciary needs some work, the people who MATTER disagree. And f**king cut out the bullsh*t about him getting special treatment because he is a star player. I dont see you guys screaming when YOUR star players get off, because they do, nathan hindmarsh anyone? Maybe its cause hes a BRONCOS star player. Crawl back to your bloody holes, tools.

You only have to look at whose box Lachlan Murdoch was sitting in on Sunday to realise how the NRL hand down decisions.. Just like Tallis got off scott free a few years ago, the Webcke decision was a joke. It was a much worse tackle than Woolfords yet his goes unpunished.

why do you even compare them :?

Chucky, would you prefer a broken jaw or a broken neck?

just providing some examples of players who were "lucky"...i am not comparing the 2. And i never said a broken jaw was better than a broken neck or vice versa. So dont assume anything.
Everyone seems to jump up and down about webcke, but when dragons fans on here even mentioned Marsh was a thug 2 weeks ago it was on for young and old.
When Hindmarsh is charged with a grapple and it is thrown out aftr 5 mins...no one says a word. There were 11 cameras at the game yet the judiciary looked at ONE angle. Bit strange isnt it.
Webcke gets let off and its a bronco conspiracy!

I'm only guessing here, but he may be referring to the incident with Ben Ross.

if this is the case then thats fine.
But what suspensions came out of the broncos/warriors game that same yr?
Guttenbeil went to town on mcguire...but nothing happened. I am glad too as it was a good fight.
Again..the league is reactive and proactive. It took a number of incidents (fights) to make the league realise that rules have to be set in place regarding punching.
Before the Talli/ross fight name me...mmmm...3 players that have been suspended for 1-2-3 games for fighting.

I was flabbogasted last night when Greg Alexander said on Scoreboard that letting him basically meant that the player was in no real danger. Chripes, what if the player accidentally landed straight on his melon.

Thats one helluva broken neck. He was arguing that Woolford's style of tackle v Webcke's style of tackle potentially causes moer injuries. I very strongly disagree.

i thought greg got it 100% right.
IF by bad luck you were lifted :
Would you rather be let go?
or
be driven into the ground?
