How many weeks should James Graham get?

[The Brain]

Inu deserves some criticism for starting the original melee for what amounted to nothing

Fake Kiwi tough guy act for a guy who went missing when it counted.

Inu the sucker has been in 4 losing Grand Finals

Finally !...that's exactly what I said at the time. Inu started the whole thing..soon was not smiling though. Good job...

He only chewed Slater as he was stacked with nerves playing in front of 82000 on national TV.

Nothing in it.

If anything it was Stagg dragging Slater away by the throat that escalated the situation.

I thought it was a commercial for smacko's pigs ears . I heard Graham was paid 0ne mill by Smacko's

 

[Frailty]

So Tyson got a one year suspension for his ear biting efforts in boxing...

Will the NRL get tough and rub this animal grub out of the game for 2013? I doubt it.

This x1000000000

Although Inu has come out and said he over reacted a bit, and perrett said there wasn't much in it

Perrett did'nt care...good bloke.

Lol'd at Lowe about to use Inu as a toothpick...oh hang on...that's what Graham was trying to do.

It started the whole thing though, without Inu shove, none of this happens.

There was no need for it, Slater did nothing illegal and Inu was just trying to act tough. He also pushed a player who was on his knees at the time, just a brainless thing to do really.

Than Stagg carrying on was a bit over the top also.

Exactly...Inu did a Thaiday. Third man in and not even involved in the play. Slater had a right to react and IMO Inu started it.

There was a touchie literally right there, but he seemed to look away when the bite happened. See no evil....

Haven't looked closely at this particular bit, but at the same time that Slater was bitten the broo-ha-ha between Reynolds, Lowrie and co was just starting, so to blame him for looking away would be harsh in the extreme.

By the way someone else might be able to clarify, but I'm pretty sure that trial matches can only count as one game off your suspension. If memory serves me correctly Dane Hogan was suspended 2 years ago, and still missed the first couple of rounds because you can only count a single trial off the suspension.

A Cronulla Shark NYC player bit the arm of Ligi Sao on a live broadcast game. Sao complained, refs met, saw clear teeth marks, put the Sharks dude on report... they showed the replays, bite was as clear as day, Hannibal Lector like.

The Sharks player got suspended for all of... one game.

He shoved his forearm into his face when his mouth was open,
Did billy shove his ear into grahams Mouth NO

 

[bluey]

To do that he deserves 12-16 weeks at least

 

[dubopov]

Perrett did'nt care...good bloke.

on my tv perrett lashed out at slater with his foot and inu decided to push slater because of perrett's reaction.

NRL allow only two(2) official trials to count as part of the suspension. Often clubs organise a third "trial" usually against a QRL or NSWRL team, but this will not count.

Personally I think its a BS rule and only official NRL games should count.

In effect any suspension at finals time is more lenient than one mid season.

That sort of thing happens pretty often. Pretty harmless gamesmanship.

Half the time Dave Taylor scores a try, he throws the ball at the smallest bloke in close range.

Slater over reacted.

 

[Canard]

Inu overreacted IMO.

If he thought it was nothing why did he get all pissy at Billy standing up to him?

Yeah, was a bit tongue in cheek there...its pretty easy to see how it would be missed with everything going on.
