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

[Fire]

Wow Canard you've really taken up the cause.

You should dedicate the next 15 years of your life to becoming a QC.

Then you could be legal counsel for Melbourne and get free dick snot off Bellamy and Slater.

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

Cocking your elbow in front of you could be done to protect yourself but is unquestionably foul play.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

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

Because stupid kartns like you are suggesting he kicked him. So explain how he did this while not looking, not bending his knee in a kicking motion and while apparently moving laterally through the air like something out of the matrix. I assume you can't.

 

[chrisD]

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

In the air, horizontal, head height, striking an opponent in the face, that shouldn't be allowed, no.

That position would actually hinder more than help, he'd be much safer with his knees to his chest (which is the way most fullbacks catch, as far as I have observed).

So you've got to be looking at something to have kicked it? That's what you are saying yeah?

If Klemmer tackles him mid air it's a penalty. If Klemmer tackles him when he lands it's fair play. You can't kick a bloke mid air for the same reason you can't run the ball up with your elbow cocked to protect yourself from a possible high tackle

So according to you this is not a kick?

 

[Canard]

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.

But thats the same argument you made? I was demonstrating how silly a reason it was to say he shouldn't do it.

Wow Canard you've really taken up the cause.

Another Ad Homenim attack.

Im no Storm fan, as I stated previously they have gotten away with slowing down the ruck in the first 2 rounds because teams were dopey enough to believe Daniel Anderson in the off season.

But I call it as I see it, if a player trying to catch a bomb in mid air is required to ensure the safety of those trying to tackle him, then its f**king absurd.

 

[Cerne Abbas Giant]

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

It is harder to catch the ball in a horizontal position than having a raised knee like most players do. Its his way of catching the ball, everyone is aware of it.

It shows there was no intention, which is what you bias dogs twats are suggesting. He also needs to, you know, actually kick him. Contact between a boot and something is not a kick. My boot is on contact with the floor but I'm not kicking it. It is also impossible to make contact unless Klemmer is running at him. So explain how under the rules of the game that say a defender CANNOT make contact with a player in the air that Klemmer did not do this. If he made contact, he is in the wrong. That's all there is to it.

 

[firechild]

But thats the same argument you made? I was demonstrating how silly a reason it was to say he shouldn't do it.

No, I was responding to the statement that he needed to do it to protect himself from the 100kg person that was running at him. Clearly if no other fullback does it yet manages to take high catches every week (except Moltzen) then it is unnecessary.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

So according to you this is not a kick?

Are you saying this is what Slater did?

Not helping your reputation as one of the forum window washers.

 

[firechild]

Are you saying this is what Slater did?

No, I'm trying to understand the point you made about it not being a kick unless he bent his knee then kicked out.

Not helping your reputation as one of the forum window washers.

Coming from you (particularly in light of your argument) I can but laugh.

 

[Timmah]

Anyone else think ECT needs a chill pill?

 

[dogslife]

I'm gonna kick the next bloke I see in the head. He might be thinking of attacking me, he might not. I've gotta protect myself

:lol:
Exactly. What rules

 

[afinalsin666]

So jumping with a leg extended isn't against the rules? Should have known, Melbourne don't break rules, they bend them. Or invent something that isn't regulated at all.

Yes, we got your point all ready, that Klemmer initiated contact to Slater's extended head height boot with his throat and jaw, that Slater is not bound by any logic to safe actions whilst he is in the air. You've made that crystal clear. The question was, which was based on what you posted, is it your position that one can not kick something they are not looking at?
