As I said, I didn't see the Shillington shot, but it is clear to anyone other than completely biased Blues fans that Gallen's was a deliberate swinging arm with intent, as evidenced by the closed fist.
Maybe, but plenty worse happens in origin that noone looks at twice. It would have passed by unnoticed if it weren't for the fight that followed.
If you think that tackle from Cronk was anywhere near dangerous (and let's face it, you wouldn't have brought it up if you didn't) you are kidding yourself. We saw several tackles last night that were at a worse angle not even penalised.
I've seen suspensions for less and worse let go. I'm not surprised (nor disappointed) that nothing came of it but the reality is it
could have come under more scrutiny than it did but everyone knew it was a foregone conclusion given the circumstances. The inconsistency with the MRC and judiciary certainly isn't confined to incidents/players relating to origin but it certainly has a greater impact than anything else in the game.
I hardly think describing Gallen's act last night as "a bit rough" qualifies as outrage. All I'm seeing from you is hyper-sensitivity.
I didn't realise you were the spokesperson for all Queenslanders. My apologies. The rest of the state is outraged, have a look at any of the threads on the topic in this forum or check the Courier Mail.
