Hodges view from the sideline next week

[Tommy Smith]

Guerra clearly lied to save his mate and QLD teammate. You'd have to be a next level naive idiot to think otherwise.

But meh, I'm glad he did because Hodgo deserves to go out in a GF. A player shouldn't miss a GF for that so I have no issue with what Guerra did for his mate.

Anybody who thinks he was actually going to miss the grand final is kidding themselves

The NRL couldn't afford the PR backlash of making such a great bloke miss out on a GF.

 

[Usain Bolt]

Rothfield is calling Guerra a dopey footballer, imbecile and liar on Twitter :lol:

This has the Thoroughbreds fingerprints all over it

If 'The Simpsons' was an Australian show, in the opening credits it would be so very apt to have Bart in a Broncos jersey with number 4 on his back, writing lines:

"There is no NSW conspiracy against us. There is no NSW conspiracy against us. There is no NSW conspiracy against us"...

Must be onto his second carton of New.

Surely if they were that influential he never would have been charged in the first place.

Why would the obviously very real NSW conspiracy be involved when there is no NSW teams?

 

[Knightmare]

Because they hate the Broncos, are jealous of their success and would do anything to keep them from success. Same reason they introduced the Crushers...

 

[mozza91]

lolz at the Queenslanders talking about butthurt. They hammer NSW every year and still have a ginormous chip on their shoulder

 

[GongPanther]

The second the GF finishes,this thread will be in meltdown.

I should be quite smashed by then.Reading the back and forward slaughter here is going to be major lolz.:lol:

 

[Perth Red]

Nice to see the usual level of consistency from the NRL judiciary. Their inconsistency is consistent lol.

 

[RugbyLeagueStartedIn1988]

Not guilty!

 

[JJ]

Wow, so funny

However, Queensland legend Wally Lewis believes it will be tough for Hodges to beat charge because they are playing Cowboys.

?I reckon if [Brisbane] were playing against Melbourne, yes he would get off the charge, because I?m not really sure that Melbourne and the NRL are hand-in-hand? they're not the best of friends," said Lewis, on Triple M Brisbane?s Breakfast with Marto & Ed Kavalee.

"This time I always have believed it was going to be very difficult.

"I?m sure a lot of people in the NRL would believe that it would be an outstanding promotion for rugby league to have North Queensland win the NRL Premiership.

"I?m not saying they are trying to buy it for them, and they are trying to clean up the game, that is their number 1 priority, to say that they are taking illegal offences out of the game." Listen to the full audio below.

Ask Wally the non biased commentator who calls every broncos game

 

[Lebbo73]

Couldn't happen to a bigger dickhead but I don't think he deserved a week for that.

I would second this but only apply it to on the field!

 

[BranVan3000]

Good decision with this, sanity finally prevails

But the hypocrisy is obvious. Smith and Luke would be filthy

 

[THE CHAMP]

This has the Thoroughbreds fingerprints all over it

Mate we had nothing to do with it.

 

[carcharias]

If you compare it to tackles from 5 years ago - no suspension
If you compare it to tackles from the last 18 months - suspension

A lot of other blokes who have been suspended for way less will be scratching their heads.


Oh well
Here's hoping he goes out in defeat
Great player but a complete tool .
Funnily enough he was fine before he went to the roosters .

 

[Cockosh]

I'm happy that he got off and can play in the GF. I hate seeing players miss big games, even from teams I despise.

This doesn't however change the fact that the decision is an absolute joke.
