This is correct. It was an accident and it was reckless.
I do take umbrage to anyone who thinks it was deliberate, or thuggish, or any of that nonsense.

Do you understand murder requires intent? And killing without intent is manslaughter, manslaughter convictions are a spectrum but they include sentences as light as zero prison time.
Reckless should mean deliberately dangerous in a way that does not belong in footy. A typical attempt at a hard upper body tackle is not reckless. And again, if there was no injury it never gets a reckless charge. A reckless charge should be based solely on the tackler's actions, this was not.
There is no outcome for referees. They arent out there to win anything
Pretty sure running as fast as you can and hitting a bloke flush in the face with your shoulder doesn't belong in footy! It was reckless with high potential to cause serious injury, which was proved by the injury it caused. 6 weeks is light imo.
I dont know what to make of Gus, does he do it to get a reaction or does he really believes what he says?
He's taken on a shock jock role, just being controversial for the sake of headlines and clicks on social media. He's also bought into his own hype about how he could run the game and knows everything that's wrong with it, and can fix any club, and could solve Afghanistan if he wanted to.....
Reckless and deliberate are different things. If the mrc thought it was deliberate he would have been charged with a deliberate high shot and referred straight to the judiciary.
He definitely played on the edge with us as well but didn't seem to cross the line. If you listen to those in the know, Latrell is high maintenance and the club had to very delicately manage him including given him time off to see his family, managing his emotions and directing his anger etc.
Book of fueds lol more like book of the dead, but seriously Souths supporters are the biggest whingers of the entire league world, you hear them everyday on sport radio, as well as in these forums.
Rugby League is a pantomime. Russell gets that more than most.There is definitely a victim mentality at Souths , they are always hard done by ... be it other clubs ,refs or NRL decisions.
The book of fueds is a classic example
Its a professional sport , it doesn't need a Hollywood hack passing around a some sort of made up story book for him to get his jollies
You don't understand rugby league if that's what you think...
more like book of food, guess there's not many pages left since Rusty ate most of them.
