How many weeks for JWH?

[Masoe_eats_babies]

I don't agree with this. JWH was intent on hitting Rose hard, wanted to hurt him, and he f**ked it up and got him high. That does not mean he should escape. It was evident he wanted to hurt him considering the two were at each other all match. Even after he hit him he laid all over him and gave him a mouthful on the ground. Perhaps it was an accident that he caught him in the head, but it was definitely reckless and has been graded appropriately.

I'd hope at the professional level that most players, or forwards at least, want to hurt one another. Guys like JWH have the role of going out to hurt, dominate and intimidate the opposition, that's what they're paid for, and as long as forwards are keeping the challenges legal all is fair. It went wrong obviously but I'd say Manly players and fans would appreciate more than anyone the importance of that kind of player, seeing as Manly is filled to the brim with aggressive merkins. They'd probably also understand it sometimes happens, in the last few weeks both Matai and Fa'aso have been on the wrong side of lady luck.

A red card and a week off is plenty warning to be more careful in future. Anything else is just over the top. This talk of him facing 5-7 weeks? Give me a break. 5-7 weeks because some merkin effectively falls over when they're running at the line?

The system seriously needs looking at.

The guy is nearly a bigger grub than Gallen! Deserves all the weeks off he's given.

He has been charged with a grade 1 reckless charge
If he had been a clean skin he would get three weeks for that

As he has had 3 similar incidents in his past 40 odd games he gets a 150% loading. This means 3 games becomes 7 if he fights and loses. If he takes the early guilty plea then he gets 5 weeks.

Ironically, if he takes 5 weeks he returns in time to face...... MANLY where he will probably do it again and spend the rest of the season on the sideline :lol:

Sam Burgess, pretty much the exact same type of incident on Mitchell Pearce, THIS season you can tell by the Channel 9 scoreboard, but he stays on the field.

I dont agree with the send off, however 2 weeks was a fair suspension. He got an extra 3 weeks because he is a serial grub

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

He got 3 weeks extra because he hit Ben Ross in the chest who cried mercilessly in the media that almost died and for hitting a falling Robson ffs

Got 5 weeks for being a repeat offender.
Hope he gets 10 next time.

Inconsistency is the key. Keeps everyone guessing.

The game is going soft.
