So the NRL has deemed that a guy with a clean record, making a poor tackle attempt, is worthy as the same punishment as a guy who maliciously attacked an opponent's head (and said player is still not back playing, three weeks later).

I just can't with the NRL any more.

It's beyond a joke.

They're trying to say that Brown's tackle deserves the same punishment as Kaufusi's?

Obviously, Brown's tackle wasn't great, and should be punished - but how it deserves the same punishment as Kaufusi's, is beyond me.

I'm seriously done with this farcical organisation.

Judiciary is just too inconsistent. Still dumbfounded how Kafusi only got 2 weeks

Be interesting regards to our backline now. Brown hasn’t been great in attack . But we will miss his defence

Doesn’t Dylan Brown only get 1 week with the early guilty plea? Didn’t Kaufusi get two? Would that mean that Kaufusi was graded higher or did he have a poor record already?

Its like a lottery with these incidents. Heck Fifita got nothing for taking a blokes head off without the ball in reserve grade. What a joke

I like How Kikau didn't even get a fine for his tackle on CNK which has now caused him to miss over a month of Football..

But the NRL suspended Drown...

I feel that NRL judiciary and refereeing is turning to shit in the Vlandys era. I'm not complaining because it's going against us but I feel like they're making it Origin where they're letting go things to create a spectacle.

Forward passes are all over the place, lying all over the play, 10m is all I can think of right now.

His forms been ordinary. I doubt we would miss him. Rankin or W.Smith will improve the side imo.

He's not doing to bad for a 20 year old finding his way, gives us another kicking option although it mostly goes down their throat but he gets distance, set up a nice try against the Dragons and is the best defensive half in the NRL.

Not sure what more you could expect from a 20 year old.

Which try did he set up for the Dragons? A disallowed try isn’t a try.

Sure he isn't. But at NRL level in a side in a premiership window he isnt contributing like we require to compete with the top 4

Plenty of good defensive halves. He may develop into a superstar. But has he shown you a lot of improvement in attack? Gone backwards if you ask me.
Remember he was signed for 650k. That gets you a reasonably good half.
At this point Fogarty is far better and would cost less then half that
