Lol the second tackle was barely even a penalty, no hands between the legs, it was one on one and inglis twisted which made him fall to the ground in that way

3-4 weeks for the first

Looked like he was trying to get the shoulder in and drive him backwards, but Inglis was twisting in the tackle which made him go head first towards the ground.

@ the idiots who say GI dived headfirst only show themselves to have no idea and have probably never played a game in their lives. In the moment it all happens in a fraction of a second. All of a sudden someone has your legs and you're off the ground, for all you know you're a second away from a broken neck. It is natural instinct to try to get yourself to ground as soon as possible.

The offense happens before he even makes contact with the ground. Faaoso gets a hand in between the legs, lifts and puts GI over the perpendicular. As soon as that happen Faaoso has done the wrong thing. GI has every right to do what comes naturally and protect himself as well as possible after he has been put in such a vulnerable position.

8 weeks, plus 50% loading from a non related offence. Will get 9 weeks all up, and probably fair enough.

Have you ever played the game?

When he gets some time off from pretending to be a police officer he doesn't mind a game of imaginary rugby league.

I've been spear tackled. I know how it feels when you're in mid air upside down without any control and your instinct just makes you seek the ground. But that's because you've been put in that position where you never should be.

There's a difference between a spear tackle ad getting your head shoved down the toilet Constable Mensa.

Not sure if that was a spear tackle. You were probably dropped on your head at birth. Well to be honest, it may count as a spear tackle, but it does explain your condition.

I think he will get 9 weeks combined for both incidents.
Anyone think Stewart and/or Matai are worthy of suspension?

Is there such a thing as a light gentle elbow?

If not, Snake's in strife and Peta Hiku may be our fullback for the next few weeks.

It's difficult.

There wasn't much force in it, which should affect the grading.

But he still intentionally elbowed the guy in the head.

At least 1 week
