The Game Judiciary & Match Review charges - 2022 season

I would agree with you, but when it's directly related to Cleary having a whinge in the post-match press conference - I'm going to play the big bag penriff card. It's really remarkable that Penrith and Cowboys both have not had a players suspended for a single week.
Surely the most remarkable statistic is that the Dogs only have one week. With Thomson, TPJ and Hetherington on their books, they were odds on to beat that figure in the first game.

Ashley Clown also missed the Tom Dearden eye gouge from the West Tigers Vs Cowboys game yesterday from his Ivory Tower. If the MRC don’t spot it in their review you start to wonder what the f**k is going on.

So Maumalo got the exact same charge as Kikau.
One was allowed to go during the game without even a penalty, and the other was a penalty and a sin bin...

Penrith are a protected species, we all know this. It's not even a new thing.

Kikau put CNK out for most of the season in about round 5 last year with a vicious high tackle that wasn't even penalised.

Was that the one when CNK tripped and head butted Kikau’s arm?

f**k it, I’ll bite.

Nobody tripped, he was a little lower than usual but not much, and Kikau whacked him with full force in the back of the head.

It was a dirty shot. The only thing I was wrong about is that it was penalised at the time, but that’s all. No report. No sin bin. No charge.

That’s the one.

A little lower; classic Skeepe!! Surprised CNK didn’t get the same few weeks that Dale will get for leading with his head in a reckless fashion…

Most charges these days are only fines and priors have no bearing... So it's not really that remarkable. We've copped plenty of fines.

Some potentially horrific incidents that could have seriously hurt people have only been a couple weeks. Honestly seems to take a lot for anyone to be suspended now and a massive suspension is 3 or 4 weeks.

Was never getting off despite what Paul “I’ve been hit in the head too often” Gallen was telling. Grade 2 is about right

“We’ve copped plenty of fines”.
Kikau’s was the 4th!

NRL is an absolute joke atm. Apologising to homophobes, changing challenge rules to justify a blatant robbery, and now suspending headclashes.

I look forward to seeing all headclashes now receiving charges every week.
