How many weeks for Billy Slaters Karate kick to the head of David Klemmer?

[chrisD]

Of course he did. He ran into a player who was in mid-air. And he has no right to do so under the rules unless he is contesting the ball, which he wasn't. This is what the bias dumb merkins don't get. It's called the international laws of the game of rugby league. If you're too thick to understand them or too bias to interpret them correctly, stay the f**k out of debates about rulings.

Yeah I'm agreeing with you. For sure, the logic is sound. In reality Klemmer is actually lucky Slater only kicked him in the head, so long as he's in the air Slater was well within his rights to start raining punches down.

If the facetiousness isn't lame enough, the blatant misrepresentation of what happened just proves how much bias can genius people's thinking.

These bias twats seem to think that Slater, matrix style, was able to move sideways once in the air and collect a player who was standing still and not in any way running towards him. Like I said, bias geniuss the brain.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

He's a mind reader. He was reading Klemmer's mind and knew he was going to tackle Slater in the air, even though he never got the chance

He doesn't have to have intent. He made contact without contesting the ball. That's a penalty. End of story. Non-bias people would understand this simple premise.

 

[Cerne Abbas Giant]

Billy has a right to be in a defensive position whilst in the air. Why would he make himself vulnerable for Klemmer to whack him? Lets see you whingers try to catch a high ball with a 100kg bloke running at you.

 

[dogslife]

And I assume you correctly read his mind that he was only trying to contest the ball?

No. But I don't just blindly assume he was going tackle him mid air. He could've waited till he had a foot on the ground and nailed him, as this happens virtually every game

lol, just with a fully horizontally extended leg in the oppositions direction at head height. Keep going please, you're explanations are awesome, go back to the eyes, explain how it's not a kick if you're not looking at where you're kicking.

 

[DoggiesBro]

LOL this tiger bloke is good for a laugh, Klemmer didn't lay a hand on him. He got a boot to the throat. Not a hand on his boot.

He must be claiming Klemmer's intention was to use his chin to catch his boot and bring him to the ground.

 

[Canard]

No. But I don't just blindly assume he was going tackle him mid air. He could've waited till he had a foot on the ground and nailed him, as this happens virtually every game

So what do you feel the ruling for players jumping to catch a bomb in defence should be?

That they are not allowed to lift there knees? Not allowed to move in a forward motion? Not allowed to extend there hands outward from there body?

At least 15 other fullbacks in the NRL do it without throwing their boots out at defenders. Why does Slater need to?

 

[Timmah]

Of course he did. He ran into a player who was in mid-air. And he has no right to do so under the rules unless he is contesting the ball, which he wasn't. This is what the bias dumb merkins don't get. It's called the international laws of the game of rugby league. If you're too thick to understand them or too bias to interpret them correctly, stay the f**k out of debates about rulings.

But you are plainly and clearly wrong.

The first contact between either player was Slater's foot on Klemmer's neck. Klemmer "tackling" Slater was him clutching Slater's leg after it'd impacted his throat.

Klemmer is entitled to be in Slater's vicinity. Slater is not entitled to kick out at an opposition player regardless of circumstance, which unfortunately happened.

Penalty correctly given, he's not been charged by the MRC, matter over.

 

[Canard]

At least 15 other fullbacks in the NRL do it without throwing their boots out at defenders. Why does Slater need to?

At least 14 other fullbacks can't do half the stuff Slater can do on the footy field, does that mean he shouldn't either?

 

[chrisD]

Not allowed to perform flying kicks at opponents heads.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Explain how it's a kick when the leg is not making a kicking motion in any way. Explain how Klemmer makes contact if he is not running at Slater.

Klemmer made contact with a player in mid-air. That's a penalty. Just because bias dogs wankers don't understand the rules or think they are above them doesn't make any difference. It just shows what bias twats they are.

 

[Fire]

p.s. Slater is a grubby merkin.

 

[dogslife]

Raising your knee when leaping up and forward is a natural motion, and unless you're on a pogo stick it's virtually the only way to get decent height in your jump. Throwing your boot out when leaping up is hardly a natural motion, and Slater has all but admitted he uses it as a ploy to protect himself

 

[Canard]

Not allowed to perform flying kicks at opponents heads.

So no extension of the leg is allowed when jumping for the ball?

What angle is considered a "kick" 10 degrees, 20 degrees etc?

 

[Canard]

Raising your knee when leaping up and forward is a natural motion, and unless you're on a pogo stick it's virtually the only way to get decent height in your jump. Throwing your boot out when leaping up is hardly a natural motion, and Slater has all but admitted he uses it as a ploy to protect himself

How could "protecting myself" be considered foul play in anyones book?

 

[firechild]

At least 14 other fullbacks can't do half the stuff Slater can do on the footy field, does that mean he shouldn't either?

You complain about an ad hominem argument and then throw out a red herring. What does his ability have to do with him making dangerous plays? Fact is what he did was both unnecessary and dangerous.

 

[chrisD]

Explain how it's a kick when the leg is not making a kicking motion in any way. Explain how Klemmer makes contact if he is not running at Slater.

Hey now, unfathomable explanations are your job, it's not entertaining otherwise. Explain the eyes, how were the eyes important?

You don't even know the rules of the game, never mind what might be a natural motion for an individual player taking a kick. Plenty of players have all kinds of styles of taking kicks. What doesn't change is the rule that a tackler can't make contact with a defending player while he's in the air. The one that Klemmer broke.
