[Jono Russell]

6 weeks ey

0 weeks with 0$ fine for saying the NRL have rigged the comp.

Also a much less of a suspension for the Bulldogs players who abused the ref.

 

[bluey]

Position assumed

Yep

 

[McLovin]

Good...He'll be fresh for the finals

 

[drago brelli]

All the SKD talk shites me. Bloke plead not guilty.

What more do you want than him to have his day in court ??

Go away, Sharkman. Your comments are way too logical, fair and balanced.

6 weeks - f**k

4 weeks was ample but he put himself in the firing line.

Stupid, stupid fool!!

 

[carcharias]

He should a got busted taking peptides ... 3 weeks

 

[TRIALS]

lol

 

[Generalzod]

6 weeks is a bit excessive....can't believed the Sharks fell for it hook line and sinker....

 

[Griffoshark66]

Way too harsh. Should have checked him into rehab the day after.

 

[jc155776]

We wallow in it or move the f**k on and keep winning games and have them back for finals.

It's done, they would have copped it on the chin it seems and moved on.

He employed 2 Silks and the result is he accepts this penalty and offers to write a letter of apology. Either he had shit lawyers or didn't have a leg to stand on. I'll go with the latter.

 

[carinashark]

6weeks , are you kidding? One match maybe plus an apologies .Are we soft or what?

 

[coolumsharkie]

Once again we take a wood augering to the vagina.

I blame Lyle Gorman and Since 73'

 

[Mr Angry]

No issue here..

It is not on.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Obviously would have been behind the scenes negotiations between the integrity commission and Sharks as to what would be deemed an "acceptable" punishment. Upside.....fresh for the semis and no faarrkked up play the balls for 5 more weeks.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Still pissed at Buzzard for his part in escalating the media frenzy. Hoping someone comes through with that Buzz Off banner or something similar.

 

[Weaponhead]

A win for the outrage culture fueled by gossip hack journos and for selective image conscious NRL officials.

A loss for common sense and of course Sharks fans.

We needed to have 2 players per day interviewed saying how worried they were about the Fifitas welfare ala Easts with SKD. They have played the game like pros and the journo hacks won't touch them because they are Easts and no one dares cross them.

 

[Bastard Squad]

Has anyone seen the footage ?

 

[Thick Skinned Shark]

Just looking at our Indigenous Round special jersey being modelled by none other than the Fafitas!! And to think they won't even get to wear them!
This is racist action!
