Wow 2 weeks for a head clash because the playing ran in to tackle him hard but fair, f**k me what is our game becoming under Vlandys and his puppet?

For the record I hate it but he was never getting off with the injury that occurred.

Nope. Because that isn’t considered for a bunch other incidents.

He was never getting off when:
- Ivan Cleary had a cry in the post-game presser; and
- the MRC/Judiciary noticed Finucane was wearing a Sharks jersey.

would Graham have been banned? I doubt it, head clashes happen in contact sport. Let’s see if there’s any consistency from here on in.
You and me both know that isn’t going to happen. The only way it happens is if certain coaches/teams have a cry.

Yeah I know so much for the gladatorial part of the game, i didn't know that going in so hard can be such a crime in Rugby league who would have thought..

I don’t think people realise with all the shitshow going on in the nrl the past few days…but a player has been found guilty of an accidental head clash.

There are a number of accidental head clashes every week. None of them have warranted penalty or suspension until now.

Every time someone gets a head bump in a tackle, they will now lie down for this…as well as the other shit they already lie down for…and the refs will have to blow a penalty.

RIP NRL

Finucanes tackle was hard and accidental but if you intend to fly out of the line and put a shot on, you have to accept that if head/neck contact is made, it can go very wrong. It’s a tough game but his intent to put a shot on and change the game, creates risk.

Injury aside, it’s just a tackle gone a little wrong. If they had of penalised it, maybe a week off would have sufficed.

Tough call but fair IMO

So you're suggesting a head clash is fine as long as you don't try to make a hard tackle? That's absurd.

As for the "if they had have penalised it, may a week would suffice", are you justifying punishing the player and sharks further because the referee/bunker made an error? That's ridiculous.
