Finch cops guilty plea
September 14, 2004

SYDNEY Roosters playmaker Brett Finch has pleaded guilty but will dispute the grading of a dangerous throw charge in a bid to play in the National Rugby League grand final.

Finch was charged with making a grade two dangerous throw on Canberra fullback Clinton Schifcofske and could be suspended for two matches when he fronts the judiciary tomorrow night.

That would rule him out of both the preliminary final the weekend after next and the grand final on October 3, if the Roosters get that far.

The Roosters have accepted he won't play in the preliminary final by entering the guilty plea but will attempt to have the charge downgraded to clear him for the grand final.

Meanwhile Bulldogs captain Steve Price has pleaded not guilty to striking North Queensland's Glenn Morrison and will fight the charge tomorrow night in a bid to play in Sunday's sudden-death semi-final against Melbourne at Aussie Stadium.

I could be wrong, but the way I read it is that if he's successful in getting it downgraded he will get the early plea discount as he's already pleaded guilty. He will therefore cop 93 points with no carryover, hence clearing him for the prelim. Which version is correct???

How can he plead not guilty!?!

Did his forearm hit Morrison in the head? Yes of course it did. Whether it was retaliation or not, he did it, so how can he plead not guilty......

I don't think he'll get it downgraded, maybe if Schif didn't land on top of his head?

Its the only way he can fight it. Its a grade one so he can't plead guilty and ask for a downgrade.

With Shifcofske going there to back up his claim he has a very good chance of getting it downgraded.

Maybe Schif has post-concussional amnesia? :lol: :lol:

Who cares what he says - the bottom line is Finch grabbed him between the legs, lifted him and dropped him fair and square on the top of his head. Any other time of the year it would be at least two weeks, I'd be disappointed if they downgraded it now.

SR,

They should not be allowing Schifcoskes testimony at all. He should have been given the same grading that Ben Ross was given.

Schifcoskes Head hit the ground first. THE Top part of his MELON. Not the side of his head, not the shoulder first but his HEAD.


offcourse his ext team mate is going in to bat for him.

if the Roosters want respect from the Football public, then they should just cop the verdict on the chin. But the kid is the vital cog in that teams direction, and they are doing everything they can to get him off. I understand that fully.

but you can not fight this Grading. Its too damn light.

if he gets off, there should be Mutiny.

Would you, at the same time, be disappointed if Price gets off?

Unfortunately I didn't see the Price/Morrison incident, so I can't comment.

I see you are one of those that can give it but not take it? Fair enough, as long as we all know.

The 2 incidents are different, you can not compare them.

Price thru a little rabbit punch to a bloke he was sure head slammed him. Penalty was sufficient.
