HIA - Storm find another way to rort the system

[I Bleed Maroon]

Yeah it is pretty bizarre how open and explicit he is being about it.

It's because he knows Melbourne are untouchable, or at the very least he is assuming as such, and why wouldn't he?

Johnathan Thurston blows up at 'unbelievable' Victor Radley charge

Rugby league great Johnathan Thurston says Roosters forward Victor Radley shouldn't miss any games after he was charged over high tackle on Melbourne's Cameron Munster.

Radley was yesterday charged with a grade two careless high tackle for his shot on Munster during the Roosters' loss to the Storm, in which he now faces a suspension of two to three weeks.

The 23-year-old will miss two games if he takes an early guilty plea, but risks a three-match suspension if he challenges and is found guilty. Radley also has carry-over points from a dangerous contact charge from round four.

Despite the likeliness of a suspension, Thurston said referee Adam Gee's decision to sin bin Radley for the high tackle was a "sufficient enough" punishment, with any further charges to be too much.

"I can't believe he could possibly miss three weeks for that," Thurston told Nine's Sunday Footy Show.

"I think the sin bin was sufficient enough.

"They had been punished enough already playing 10 minutes down [a man] and the Roosters did incredibly well to be down 4-0 at half-time.

The former Cowboys halfback said Munster put in some theatrics to make the tackle look worse than it was.

"He's been wrong-footed, it's more careless than anything," Thurston added.

"I think Munster certainly played on it with the academy award."

Probably good to source a claim like that.

The Melbourne Storm have admitted to taking advantage of loophole regarding free interchanges, according to reports.

Munster was taken from the field in the Storm's big win over the Roosters but returned shortly after.

The star five-eighth was taken from the field and replaced by Nelson Asofa-Solomona, before coming back on moments later for Christian Welch.


He was off the field for less than 30 seconds. A team is allowed a free interchange if a player is "fouled and injured by a player who is dismissed from the field, sin binned or placed on report" and only applies "when the injured player is immediately replaced," according to the NRL's rulebook.

Roosters enforcer Victor Radley was sin-binned over the incident.


"Munster was a tactical one," Storm general manager Frank Ponissi told The Daily Telegraph.

"There was nothing wrong with him. He said Radley hardly got him.

"To be brutally honest we were surprised Radley was sin-binned."

The NRL will reportedly consider stricter rules for bringing players off the field for head injury assessments after a weekend of controversy.

"He passed his on-field test but we wanted to be doubly sure," Ponissi said.

"Our main doctor was in the dressing room doing an HIA with Ryan Papenhuyzen.

"Our second doctor checked the vision then sent Cameron straight back out."

All clubs do it, if any aren't then they are falling behind

There will be a crackdown now, there has to be.

A free interchange is quite significant with the game being as fast as it is now

The rule is a foul play allows for a free interchange off and back on again.

Regarding the Holmes sub, from Annesly press conference

"The first is a rule that's been in our operational guidelines for probably the best part of a couple of decades. And that is about a free interchange if a player is injured as a result of foul play.

"So that means if a player is put on report, sin binned or sent off and the player who is the victim of that foul play comes off the field, they get a free interchange for that.

Once again LU has no f**king idea.

Come at me Roosters fans.

Do your understand the wording of free interchange?

Well Ponisi admitted there was absolutely nothing wrong with Munster and as a result their secondary doctor sent him straight back on.

So technically, based on the link you provided, he wasn't injured as a result of foul play.

Once again the Storm urinate on the game

I find it funny PR how you always take the moral high ground over pokies and bag clubs for putting profit over members’ welfare. However, when it comes to win-at-all-cost clubs that have introduced nearly every damaging tackle that’s buggering the game, now abandoning their responsibilities of their own players’ well-being with cynical exploitation of HIA rules, you don’t seem to mind so much. In fact it merely presents itself as an opportunity to take a potshot at the game you pretend to love’s administration.

 

[AnonymousLurker]

I think there is a simple solution , NRL keeps introducing rules and measures , and you have certain clubs exploiting new laws and rest follows.
Attach a spirit of the rule change alongside any changes and they can ping offending club without requirement of proving guilt .

Yes, can can decide to cheat or decide not to. RL coaches could benefit by watching golf.
