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

[Lambretta]

I bet if klemmer had a popped eye socket your tune would change.

Yes, rather than humming boots upside your head I'd be singing eyes without a face


For the record - thread needed a 0 weeks option

Klemmer was caught unintentionally - if he hadn't tried to interfere with a player in the air diffusing a bomb he wouldn't have been caught.

You wait until they're on their way back down before smashing the f**k out of them. That way if you catch them right you can force the knock on - it you get there early you just claim you mis-timed it.

Wow.

It's a reckless move. He said it himself he uses his boot to protect himself. The rules are in place to protect him, it's not his role to keep them away by sticking the boot. His a cat and uses this tactic every catch. The tackle never occurred cause he couldn't get close enough, thanks to the boot.

What now, players cannot contet kicks against slater, due to fear of getting studs to the face and throat?

Where is the evidence that Klemmer would have made an illegal tackle?
You have just made a strong argument for Klemmer re intent, Slater is the one who made the illegal contact.

This.

Those defending Slater are ridiculing anyone who claims he had intent to use his boot as a fend, while simultaneously assuming the intent of Klemmer to make a mid-air tackle.

:crazy:

The fact he was a fraction of a second from making contact with Slater while he was in the air. In fact his arms still made contact with Slater while he in the air. If he hadn't run into Slater's boot he would have taken Slater out without any doubt whatsoever.

Klemmer says it was an "accident".

But the mongs at home know better apparently.

Who was better?

So he attempted it, but never made it :lol:

Unfortunately, that isn't illegal.
Sticking your leg out so you can defuse a bomb uncontested is a careless/reckless action. If a player gets injured because of those actions then its Slater's fault

Its a risky play that maybe works for him 99% of the time, but that 1 % is where it gets dangerous. This incident is part of that 1%.

Klemmer made contact with a player in mid air. That's illegal. End of story. He did so because he put himself in that position.

Like I said, bias.

Klemmer can practically stand anywhere he likes as long as he doesn't make contact with slater whilst slater prances in the air. But with the boot out, how close can he get to slater?

 

[Glenn]

Lol keep clutching.

Not clutching just stating the Laws of the game as they are.

There is plenty of doubt, because Slater kicked him in the head.
No one will ever know if he was going to hit him while he was in the air or not, the fact is that Slater made contact with the head, with his boot. Two big no nos.

I'd like to make contact with my boot to your face in mid air..

 

[Gmac]

Please.. Skater is a grubby little merkin and gets away with it every week. But not much in this one. Have a word to him about his catching style, tell Klemmer not to tackle a bloke in the air and finally suspend Ryles for 12 weeks. Issue resolved.

 

[typicalfan]

Yeah it is. Two wrongs don't make a right. Slater kicking out in the air is an illegal play and not in the spirit of the game, regardless of if he is protecting himself.

Sure, whatever you think mate. Don't be surprised if you are rather alone in your opinion of punching while you run is the same as jumping in the air with a lazy leg out to the side.

 

[Sunshine Coast Tiger]

Looked to me that Slater had his eyes on the ball. The Bulldog player was going for an mid air tackle that is illegal. For mine the refs had the penalty the right way to begin with and the video ref stuffed up (not his only stuff up tonight).

Slater will get 0 weeks.

That's because you're one of the butthurt bias Slater haters. It's pathetic. You'd be saying the exact opposite if it was a Faders player, but then again there's no Faders player who would have the ability to jump and catch a ball like that. Except Duga..... oh.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

So it's okay to stick a boot out to keep the other team away?

Another assumption.

Keep assuming your a man, don't let facts get in the way.

Obviously according to the NRL it is because he has been doing it for years without so much as a peep from the refs.

Wow. Getting more embarrassing with every post.

What are you talking about, Klemmer made contact with Slater as well, it was deemed that Slater initiated contact and was the first offence. Did you not see Klemmers arms?
