have u ever played footy?

when you know ur being lifted, you curl your head up and force yourself down with an arm guiding your fall, thus avoiding injuries and getting an easy penalty and possibly a player in the bin...

But he would never have had to "tilt" his head had he NOT been lifted by Widders.
Robinson is a nuffy ref. He now joins the likes of :

Tony Maksoud
Neil Almond
Moghseen Jadwat
David Jay
Kelvin Jeffes.

But it didn't simple as that. Yes luck played a role but Wade must learn from this. Lifting tackles already have massive penalties!

what zero weeks with a early plea! what a massive penalty!

Round 7 Judiciary News
Cronulla's Greg Bird has been cleared by the NRL match review committee for a high tackle and is free to play in Thursday's City Country clash in Coffs Harbour.

Bird was sweating the panel's review after being put on report for his swinging arm in last night's 20-16 loss to Newcastle but has been cleared to play.

New Zealand Warriors fullback Wade McKinnon has accepted a two week suspension for shoving referee Jason Robinson in the game against South Sydney on Sunday. McKinnon denies any malice in the 74th minute incident but has accepted the ban and will miss the home game against Cronulla and away to Newcastle.

Can't believe the charge on Widders, he should buy a lottery ticket - that's a dead-set disgrace. He's obviously a great guy, but that tackle was appalling.

MacKinnon deserves everything he gets, but hopefully the ref gets even longer, he contributed to it.

Gee McKinnons lucky. Touching the ref is an absolute no-go and he should have got much more.

And Jeremy Smith should have got more last year when he shoved Mr Bean. Even though Hampstead made a ridiculous error - you just can't touch em. Bad precedent being set here !

DID YOU SEE THE TACKLE WIDDERS PUT ON MCKINNON?!?!?!? FMD. I'm not excusing the ref contact - it's not on - but Widders put McKinnon in a far more dangerous position that McKinnon ever did to the ref. Why can't people f**king see that!?

i think two weeks is good for McKinnon, yeah refs should be sacrosanct
but Widders, being able to play next week is totally gay.
he should be out two weeks
that would be justice i think

He has a clean record basically. You have to give some allowance for players with good records.

Sure, but when they put someone's life in danger, no weeks ban is a pretty soft punishment.

FMD, people are making out Widders' tackle to be of L.MacDougall on A.Minichiello proportions! It was an awkward tackle that resulted in McKinnon landing on the top of his back. He got 1 week, 0 because of good record. Fair result.

Well come on Dodge provide a solution. Don't just criticise the process. As it is it is a fair penalty under the current rules!

I have provided a solution you blind farkwit. Bigger penalties for people who make DANGEROUS tackles.

Quite simple really; more gradings, so instead of there being a fair difference between grade 1 and 2 for instance there isn't - more comprehensive grading by the review committee, that was not a grade 1 or 2 or whatever it was graded. It was hands between the legs, up and over and on his neck. We shouldn't be disciplining players necessarily on the result, IE you shouldn't get 15 weeks because he broke his neck from a spear; we should be looking at the r00t cause, in this case he went between the legs and flipped the player over into a very compromising position. The end result that he landed on his neck and not the point of his head is good luck, not good management. By that stage, when the player is lifted like that with that action anything can happen, and unless we police it harder, eventually will happen. We don't need anymore Jarrod McCracken incidents.

NGR, how can anyone who's a full quid deliberately risk a broken neck for a penalty? If you did, then all I can say is you are very lucky nothing went wrong. Don't for a second think it was good management that saved your neck, good luck more like it. And if you're willing to put your walking capacity on the line for a penalty, you're out of your mind.

Even if he got a grade 2 he would get only a week.He has a good record! The penalties are fine as it is for crying out loud!
