Kikau copped a fine for his shoulder being about the equivalent of a nightly feed for him at the bistro in Panthers.

Fight it. Fitz fairly dismissive of the incident in the presser. They’ll study the footage first, obviously, but it didn’t look like anything to me on slo-mo replays

Finucane's issue is that he rushes out of the line to put on the shot. They will argue he has a duty of care to avoid high contact. It's a head clash but they will say careless and dangerous. The defence is that it is an accident that happens in contact sport. If he fights he loses. Sharks always roll over so he gets the 2 weeks.

NRL care about the spectacular look. It's bullshit but that's who they are.

Freddy, Joey and Slater on the Sunday Footy Show all saying he should fight it. Agree it was a head clash.

Joey said it didn’t deserve a penalty.
freddy said it was probably a penalty for contact with head but that’s it.
slater agreed with Joey - play on

Trial by media again. There are some f**king shit articles floating around on facebook, including an article that claims Dale had performed a 'Mike Tyson act' on Chriton. FMD!

Make the nrl pricks argue the charge. At worst Dale misses an extra tigers game if he loses.

I genuinely don’t care if the nrl want to make accidental head contact careless/reckless. What I do mind is them cherry picking when to f**ken do it. Either Dale gets off, or he’s guilty which may lay down a marker for future charges
 

Frenzy.

Crichton claiming he doesn't remember the match.

They had time to come up with that one. He was out on the field after celebrating. If he was concuissed it was likely from his faceplant.

So now a team can try and cull the opposition with bullshit and NRL buy into the concussion story and witch hunt someone else based on "an injury"
