Papa’s maybe not, Burgess’s definitely.

Also, can we sack the clown in the bunker who said it was a shoulder to the head? I’d forgive the on-field officials if they got that wrong, but he was only penalised and put on report after a tip from the bunker.
The bunker ALWAYS overreact to hard onfield hits.

They must love a nanny state.

Pathetic. A $1500 fine for a deliberate swinging arm to the head

Similar to Billy Slater last year, I’m glad he’s not missing the GF. However I really don’t understand how a guy can deliberately swing an arm at a players head, collect him flush, have the (key) player miss the last 55 minutes of a game, and the sole punishment is a penalty. It was probably the single most deliberate swinging arm I’ve ever seen, when you look at it it’s even a striking charge.

It’s alright. If anything, the MRC did us a favour. Now they’ll have no excuses when we crush them.

Are people seriously comparing Burgess hair pull with Keary's? The two are in very different contexts. One is in the motion of a tackle, executed in a split second whilst off balance; one is post a tackle, executed on someone who is not even moving.

The high tackle grading is a different story

They should target Tedesco and Cronk with swinging arms

Would only cost $3K, they won’t be put on report or sent off

Money well spent to increase your chances of a premiership
Yep, it’s what storm tried to do to townsend in 2016 with their retiring winger.

Worked a treat for the Storm in the 2007 GF too.

And who can forget Ellery Hanley getting taken out by that grub Terry Lamb in 1988.

This is not a new concept.
