Thuggish hit, surely he will go for a few

As should Steve Clark, the incompetent wad that he is

Has he even been to the judiciary before? I don't think he has in 4 years of first grade.
At best he'll get loading and should make Wednesdays series opener.

I think he'll get a downgrade but whether that is enough with the loading rubbish then I am not sure. I think Lyon will get off as well.

He was charged for a dangerous throw a while back, wasn't he?

Either way, I'd hate to see him miss an origin match over an incident that was clearly absent of any malice.

Looked pretty intended to me, there was never a need to c**k the shoulder - AND he was the third man in.

I must have missed the rule change that says you cannot have 3 players involved in a tackle.

If origin wasnt a consideration he would get 1 week, but I bet there is a trade off w Lyon and Johnson both getting off. Regardless of which may be the "worse" offence.

Running in to help bring down an already falling player while deliberately cocking his shoulder and aiming right for the nose?

And here i was thinking that men can't multi-task.

Yes he has been charged before by the Match Review Committee and taken early pleas with dangerous throws.

Three men in if there is an initial tackle is ok. All progress had been pretty much halted before Johnson came in, so it was late as well. He didn't try and make a tackle, only shoulder an unprotected player. 2 weeks.

Third man in i.e. akin to a flop. The tackle was effected and he joined the party. The shoulder was COCKED. Take off the purple and navy glasses people.

A flop, sure, but to go in with the intention to hit someone square in the nose? No way.

Still it happened and he will have to suffer the consequences, but it was far from intentional, that's what got up me.
