Cleary's career win rate is ordinary and his record vs Arthur is poor. He won that premiership because of Gould's recruitment and pathways setups.
Its probably the smart move but it certainly disheartens the fans. A close look at the video may have shown something but to the majority of fans we come across as soft co*ks. Probably the best timing to give Pawloooo a weeks break. Reg will now have to play 80 no doubt.Judiciary Report: Sims accepts four-game ban; JFH out for two
See all the latest judiciary, charges and suspension news from the 2022 NRL Telstra Premiership.www.nrl.com
Eels prop Junior Paulo has accepted a one-match ban for his high tackle on Titans five-eighth AJ Brimson while Marcelo Montoya will front the judiciary on Tuesday night.
The Eels elected not to fight the grade two charge handed to Paulo, which would have risked incurring an extra match ban if the challenge was unsuccessul.
When do we grow a set and challenge these BS decisions? The incompetency from the stakeholders of the game is astounding.
I think Reg is still running.Its probably the smart move but it certainly disheartens the fans.

The problem was the opposition defensive coach. Turns out those merkins can run without legs.Who’s the attack coach?? 54 points in a GF f**k yeah!! Get him on board with first grade FFS!!
I feel like this isn't a valid excuse. One week is fair for that tackle. It was careless.I'm sure he hits shoulder first and he goes straight through him and his head bounces back because of the whiplash which makes it appear worse than it is.
Must have Kidwell as the defence coach as they let in 44.Who’s the attack coach?? 54 points in a GF f**k yeah!! Get him on board with first grade FFS!!
If thats now illegal then Rugby League can eff off. The amount of intolerable bullshit decisions in most games is enough to give you chronic syphilis.So I went back and watched Paulo’s hit in slo-mo. In hindsight we probably did the right thing.

If that was careless what was Asofa Solomona's dog shot on Makatoa?I feel like this isn't a valid excuse. One week is fair for that tackle. It was careless.
No way. That was textbook. If thats now a problem then that game has a problem.I feel like this isn't a valid excuse. One week is fair for that tackle. It was careless.
I think the NRL admitted he should've been binned and suspended. But also it was fairly low impact I reckon. Looked worse than it was.If that was careless what was Asofa Solomona's dog shot on Makatoa?
And what should've he got?
Paulo's going to have to get lower if he wants to drive in like that. The NRL doesn't even want to see accidental shoulders into heads. It sucks but that's how it is. I think the tackle should be legal but it isn't. The onus is on the defender. Just like when teams would lift Inglis off the pitch and he would dive head first at the ground. His fault, but the responsibility of the defence to make sure it can't happen.No way. That was textbook. If thats now a problem then that game has a problem.
Paulo cant shrink himself when a midget runs at him. Shoulder on shoulder. No issues imo.
The problem isn’t Paulo getting suspended. He makes forceful contact to head, but it’s not direct and think it’s reasonable, even for the most ardent anti-Eels fan, that head contact was accidental. If they want to limit head injuries, I think it’s reasonable for accidental hits be punished.No way. That was textbook. If thats now a problem then that game has a problem.

Its f**ken bullshit is what it is. F**ken. Bullshit.Paulo's going to have to get lower if he wants to drive in like that. The NRL doesn't even want to see accidental shoulders into heads.
