how many weeks for Kony

[Generalzod]

Toups out for the season with a busted jaw and the bloke who lead with his knee and only gets 3 weeks for it, f**k off NRL...

 

[lockyno1]

No injury, no suspension. Not even a case to answer.

He got 3 weeks.

4 if he fights it and loses.

Sanity prevails

So next time when it happens to a Broncos player you won't get that upset about it...... Sanity prevails....

3-4 weeks is about fair. Terrible technique yes but he didn't go full Craig Young on him. Toops didn't help himself but his positioning. That said terrible technique from Hurrell and a 3-4 week suspension is very fair. Move on.

 

[drago brelli]

Good decision, 3 weeks is fair.

I think this is fair comment. I indicates that you, me and the NRL have no idea. Poor Tupou will require probably $20 000 worth of dental work and that is after he is finished 'eating' from a straw for the next 3 months.

Yep, but that's the fault of the NRL, not that this is the wrong call

Hurrell (and others) have to stop this - it is illegal and dangerous, simple really - should have been done long ago

 

[Captain Apollo]

It's official, Hurrell charged with a Grade 3 Dangerous Contact Charge. If he takes the early guilty plea, 3 week suspension with 0 carry over points. If he fights it and is found guilty, he gets a 4 week suspension.

It was an unfortunate accident, but can't argue with the charge. Could have been more.

We all feel for Tupou but come on we can't be suspending blokes just because someone cops an injury that sets a really dangerous precedent.

 

[cleary89]

If they cop an injury due to something illegal you can.

That precedent has been set already with Alex Mckinnon and Ray Thompson injuries. Snowden got 8 weeks for standing still while Thompson ran into his shoulder. McCLean got a masive suspension because Alex hurt his spine yet we have all seen worse lifting tackles than that since then that have not been charged anywhere near as harshly, Peachey this w.e for example.

The Snowden one was a joke, and let's not repeat that please. Unfortunate things happen it is a contact sport after all

 

[carcharias]

It looked deliberate.
Maybe not to bust a jaw but he deliberately lifted his knee into the tackle.
...and that is a no no ..no matter how many tackles he has used his mythical hip in before.

Yeah but unfortunate things are more likely to happen when you do dangerous or illegal things.

Gotta agree with my good mate Carchy.

Can someone clarify the lifting knee rule for me aswell? Like why is he only getting in trouble after he shatters someones jaw? IF its against the rules penalise it. Imagine the injury toll we would have if every player decided to start using the same technique.

A hip bump is when someone gets square on, not as front on as Hurrell was when he hit Tupou. It's about positioning the hip, not the knee.

I'm not sure why this is so hard for some to understand.

Im not talking about a hip bump genius. I mean when he lifts his knee going into the hip bump, or does he not lift the knee in your opinion?

Lifting his knee is all about locking his hip in place for the bump.

I can't break it down any simpler than that.

How good is Buettner going as head of MRC!
