How many weeks for Jeremy Smith?

[Snappy]

Here's a tip for NZ players. Dont do dirty illegal shit and you wont get suspended for test matches.

Yeah because you'd never see an Aussie do dirty illegal shit. :lol:

No shit. My comment was aimed at butthurt NZ fans who claim the Judiciary has an agenda of sitting out NZ'ers from test matches. There has been multiple in this thread already.

History certainly paints that picture, and I'm not an NZ fan.

Uhhhh I was shellshocked it was even a penalty, that happens in like every third tackle. Panthers did that all night to bj leilua, I thought it was.all good

 

[Canard]

Certainly suspect that if an Aussie Test player was carried out the same act, he may not have been cited.

And Im as Aussie as casual racism

I'm not sure what the rule book says about slamming a players head into the ground, but I don't see what it has to do with tackling. Just another grubby, wrestling type play that simply doesn't need to be in the game.

 

[Perth Red]

Was a head slam, just unlucky he isn't a SOO player or he would have got off free.

Agreed. It was a shit thing to do.

I thought it was "officially" outlawed a couple of seasons back?

But yeah its a suspension at this time of season if he is a Kiwi, but not if he was an Aussie.

Thats the rules, so suck it up our Kiwi cousins.....

Well i'm a Kiwi, and he will be sorely missed in our squad but hands down he deserves to get a suspension for that dog act.

Of course he does, but so does somebody head butting someone etc. etc.

0 weeks. It was barely a penalty.

 

[Perth Red]

Should count himself lucky it isn't the week before the World Cup starts or he'd have been outed for 6 weeks!

 

[Jobdog]

Charged with grade 3 dangerous contact.

4 weeks with the early plea, 6 if he fights it and loses.

The game has officially gone soft.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Deserves it. He's always been a dog.

Yep....i didnt think it was that bad, but when you get stretchered off it just puts on a few extra games.

 

[The Rosco]

Ya see, Smith is one of those players we hate . . . when he's playing for the opposition . . . yet most of us would love to have him in our forward pack.

He's a dirty merkin too !.
His problem is that his reputation is out there. Dirty play is considered to be "his go".

Now, if only he were Slater or Smith . . . . .

 

[Jobdog]

And I think that's the ridiculous part. If Robinson doesn't get stretchered off, he probably doesn't even get put on report.

I knew he'd be charged, but Grade 3 is a dreadful case of overkill.

Happens all the time. Fa'aoso got charged with a grade 3 dangerous contact because Ashley Harrison got stretchered off and had a concussion. Buderus didn't even cop a penalty for the same thing (shoulder charge that resulted in an accidental head clash) despite the tackle resulting in a fractured cheekbone.

That was an absolute farce and totally ridicules this "should charge" crackdown.

 

[betcats]

Jeremy Smith is a filthy dog. Watch him and count the amount of times he brings a forearm/elbow down on someones head during a game while making a tackle.

 

[Robbie'o'Davis]

"headslam" was weak as piss..
he shouldn't get anything
