I suppose Dale was running faster to make the tackle so that's the difference.

Dale ran weely weely fast

Yes it adds to the tackle.

There is already an element of carelessness IMO coming out of the line like that. Coming out of the line hard isn't against the rules and nor should it be and if he got the hit right then good luck to him. He very clearly didn't though, the blokes ear was nearly ripped in 2. He clearly had no regard for his own well being let alone his opponents. Next time if he just puts his head to the side of his opponents body that won't happen.

You can't grade all head clashes. Most are true accidents and happen after initial contact or due to a 2nd/3rd tackler as opposed to initial contact.

So I expect Collins is looking at a 2-3 suspension then. If Finucane's was deemed "avoidable" and dangerous then Collins should cop at least the same Charge.
JWH should get a couple of weeks off as well, grub.

Yeah, nah

Once again JWH is very lucky. Grade 1 should be for accidents only, not deliberate grubbiness like that.

Nrl suck donkey dicks. Dale forever

Some epic sooking from Sharks fans in here.

As a Dragons and NSW fan I didn’t think I’d get any satisfaction out of this season.

Pleasantly surprised.

I'm with the Sharks fans though. A few weeks ago, Papalii hit a kicker hard and got penalised and reported. Kicker wasn't in the air and Papa couldn't believe he'd been penalised for tackling too hard.

Weird NRL rules.

Is Justrice Warrior Hargreaves fined again..lol

Don’t get me wrong, the NRL is inconsistent as hell. My team has had two players sin binned and suspended this year for tackles that were “late”. Both charges were utter bollocks.

And then there’s the Rava suspensions. When Justin Olam does it it’s a great tackle. When Rava does it it’s a shoulder charge.

But Finucane’s hit was a big shot gone very wrong. He made forceful contact to the head. He f**ked up and is getting punished for it. I don’t think we should criticise the judiciary when they get one right.

The whole issue is if that's how the NRL is ruling on head clashes - I'm fine with it, but it isn't consistent. Just like you mentioned in your comparison between Rava and Olam. There is something wrong with the NRL where it punishes a head clash less than a deliberate elbow (or deliberate headbutt from Klemmer last week).

The first step should always be: "Was the player attempting to make a legal play?".

The funny thing is the Dragons are only one game behind in weeks lost to suspension with 11. They have also been among the most fined. Watching games, I wouldn't say the Dragons are overly grubby or physical team. So why is there this massive disparity?

My honest opinion is that players develop reputations, refs are influenced by tip sheets, and the judiciary is a victim of confirmation bias.

Players like Sua and Sims seem to be penalised more harshly than others, but I’m sure every club has players who cop the same.

We also have a spineless management. Rava’s first “shoulder charge” suspension should’ve been challenged by our club. After the precedent was left unchallenged, the judiciary just went after him.

But I don’t think Finucane falls into this category. He’s never had a rep for being a dirty player, (even despite playing for Melbourne). Judging his tackle on his merits I think the judiciary nailed it. If it was deliberate he should’ve been Travis Burnsed. It wasn’t. But he f**ked up.

If they could get it right more often, that’d be great.

Come on mate.

It’s been stated ad nauseum that you were trying to buy Melbourne culture. Fitzy must’ve missed the included grubbiness clause and the omission of the teflon as part of the package.

Should’ve read the fine print. But Dapto boys have never been know for their literacy skills.
