they'll (Johnson and Lyon) both more than likely get off without any suspension.

Why dont we just wrap them all in cotton wool, and play the game on a XBOX.
FFS this game has always been the best game in the world, becuase of the danger in it.
This is what makes RL different to NFL, players go out there knowing they are going into battle, they know they are talking there lives into there own hands and thats what makes it complusery viewing.
Di*kheads like you spend your time whinging about suspensions, then in the same breath wonder why the crowds are so poor, we are sanitising this game to a point where we will see players running out wearing plastic pads and helmets.

Free flowing tries, creative play, and hard but fair play make this the best game. Getting dropped on your head or getting belted above the shoulders are not good advertisements for the game. I seriously doubt you'd find many people who'll say to you "Oh yeah bro, lets go to the footy so we can see someone get dropped on their head." This isn't fight club, you're not expected to risk your life to play the game and no one sane could possibly think that's the case.
Play hard, but play fair. Head high tackle laws and spear tackles are there to stop the likes of Jarrod McCracken and Adam Ritson being forced out of the game with serious injuries. We are better off having those types of guys being able to use their lives well after football. If we allowed dangerous plays to keep occuring and take no action, the NRL would be very negligent and sued under all sorts of laws when things suddenly started going wrong. Anyone who has any understanding of OH&S laws and the responsibility being on the people, and the organisation to create as safe a work environment as possible would realise that not suspending these sorts of tackles would be nonsense.
No dramas Dani, I wouldn't class it life threatening myself either just quietly ;-)curious said:I dont want to see people getting injured, but at the same time i dont want every player with agression sitting on the sidelines.
I am a Queenslander, and there was nothing in Lyons tackle. And i dont believe there was anything other then a bump in Dallas's tackle, if we start suspending players for 3 weeks for this sort of infringment, we wont have any players worth a pinch of salt playing the game.
If you want to start penalising players for that, then send him off. Or use a 5 min or 10min in the sin bin, at least this will help the team that actually coped the infrigment.
And if further action is required then fine him money. I think suspension should be used for only the most serious of charges.

Double standards without a doubt.

Careless has nothing to do with intent.
You're probably not aware as you don't seem to follow league much, but rather the ramblings of Wayne Pearce, but the gradings are
Careless - not taking care
Reckless - not taking care with high risk
Intentional - deliberately bringing on foul play
It's hard to get an intentional grading, the last I remember was your own Danny Williams. Johnson wasn't graded intentional, so intent has SFA to do with the process.
