Grub Carney out of Grand Final after malicious high shot

[Frustrated Fan]

What is worse is that the refs reward the diver. If Carney jumps back to his feet then no penalty arrives. Cat like behaviour.

Good point. The NRL has a duty to protect players welfare. Which is why referees take action against illeagal head contact. When a player lays down pretending they are knoked out, the referee has no option but to penalize.

When a diver springs to his feet as soon as he earns a penalty and it is blatantly obvious that he was pretending to be knocked out, the referees should display some discretion and reverse the penalty. It wouldn't be the fist time someone was penalised for "milking".

Tonight Carney wasn't even hit in the head. He stayed down to get a penalty for late shoulder contact.

Scott Prince complained about Soward's diving.......

If they get a week, then Prince and Nate Friend should get a month...Disgraceful milking and diving.

:lol: Nathan Friend was doing what every good hooker in the NRL does. If you are blaming him, look at any other good number 9 mate.
Seriously though, the biggest crime is you saying Prince and Friend's dives are worse than Anasta's and Carney's.

If he gets a graded charge then they should drag Dwyer back in for a chat with the panel as well.

Penalty sufficient, Prince a protected species, play on.

Definitely agree, there is no way it should be charged.

Scott Prince complained about Soward's diving.......

Prince has a point, Soward is a far bigger diver than Prince. You might not realize it but Prince was actually hit by a swinging arm. I love both players, but both of them do dive.

To the original poster, go away troll......
If Carney gets done for this it will be the biggest cop-out in Rugby League judiciary history......

On the subject of diving, it happens, get over it. Every player does it nowadays, all for the sole purpose of helping their team. I don't hold anything against Prince, Friend, Anasta or Carney for what they did tonight. They are all great players and good blokes.

forget it.

f**k there's some geniuss on this forum.

Prince was hit high but he didn't pretend he was knocked out like Soward did last year.
I was probably the most vocal about Jamie Soward diving last year but i have to give him credit. I'm pretty sure he hasn't done it since. Carney has done it twice in two weeks.

Bad luck Carney you * Grub.

Enjoy watching the Final from the Stands!!

Yeah you talk sense. Should have been a send off and hopefully he gets a 17 week suspension.

Carney caught a try-bound Prince flush in the head with a swinging arm, leaving the Gold Coast skipper groggy and requiring medical attention just before half-time.

Asked post-match if he felt Carney should be suspended, Prince tellingly said: "You saw it. I don't know what happened.

"I'm just trying to remember the game now. I vaguely remember the second half."

Get the f**k out of here. It barely hit him.

The roosters fans are telling us all how invincible they are and that come hell or highwater they will win the premiership, so why get upset if Carney does get wiped out of the GF, they will win it without him anyway right ?:lol:

 

[Gaba]

When i first seen the carney tackle didnt think he even touch prince's head, even replayed still didnt see contact

Roosters have struggled to score more then 2 trys against the dragons in the last 12 games, cant see them beating the dragons if the dragons get in

 

[Jason_(Is_our_King)_Smith]

While I don't think Carney deserves to be suspended for the high shot ( penalty sufficient) I think he and Anasta sullied the game with their diving.

And I'm not having a go at the Roosters here...it's a trend that's creeping into just about every club, including my own.

The refusal to dive or feign injury used to be one of the high water marks that distinguished our game for the better from all the other codes --- not any more.

Prince, you are pathetic. You played the rest of the game - if you couldn't remember what happened, why were on the field for the rest of the game, playing as normal? Diving and lying are the same thing!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I think you people are blind. It was a massive swinging stiff arm to the head. 1 week suspension at minimum. There is no way he will get off that.

That missed. Its main impact was shoulder. If Carney had connected it would have been careless and deserved maybe 3 three weeks. He didn't fully connect so a penalty is sufficient.

 

[whalan12]

wasn't even a bad hit.
he should and will play next week!
wasnt even a penalty in my opinion.
i hate the replays, if prince didnt go down, they wouldnt have seen the replays, and nothing would have happened..
call it as you see it refs and be consistent! there was a million others just like that in the game, in every game, its ridiculous!

 

[Borat.]

if he had 99 carry over points they wouldn't suspend him...

Epic Troll Fail

He doesn't WANT to remember the rest of the game....


Seriously what a f**king cat coming out having a sook like that to the papers

 

[innsaneink]

Would love to see it again, from memory it hit him flush and with fist clenched...though my initial viewing is usually always different to replays
He didnt miss, but I thought Prince milked it to the point of butter

 

[Robbo De Lechez]

If they get a week, then Prince and Nate Friend should get a month...Disgraceful milking and diving.

Yeah, Friend was getting on my nerves.

 

[hattori hanzo]

Braith's dive was a shocker.

But he's got an excuse. His eyes are too close together.

:lol: love your work


No different to Peteros hit, not saying it deserves suspension though

Off you go little troll, start linking me all these triumphalist, hubris-packed posts that your fevered brain recalls reading.

Otherwise you're just another fart in the breeze.
