Judiciary

[redv13]

7.41pm: Roosters pocket rocket Victor Radley has been rubbed out for five games and the first two Origin games after the grading of his "launched" high tackle on Tevita Pangai jnr was upheld.

Radley's grade two careless high tackle charge was upheld at the judiciary on Tuesday night after a 70-minute hearing.

The 23-year-old had already accepted a one-week suspension for a separate hit on Brisbane's Albert Kelly.

Either way Radley was already banned from Origin I given any reduction would have resulted in a two-week suspension.

Radley gone for 5 weeks after judicial hearing tonight. Thank goodness for that and the Roosters finally lose. Crichton up next.

Is it not now 6 weeks in total. 5 weeks for 1 charge he fought and lost and 1 week for the oth he accepted?
Anyway you watch the media outrage. Gus started it last night.
Crickets after McGuire & Fui get 5 which I think was harsh.
Especially Fui graded Reckless in lieu of everyone gets careless.

Now for Crichton. If Rav gets 2 how can Crichton get off for a late hit like that. We shall see!
Everyone keeps banging on about Roosters missing list. What about ours!

agreed. I am surprised he got anything because it certainly seemed the ref wanted him on the field on the weekend. Chrichton will probably walk though.

I am surprised on a weekly basis that we field a team. Seems the ref sends our players off for touching the ball these days.

But yeah, poor roorters. Lol.

8.44pm: Crichton guilty and will serve two matches.

Put your feet up buddy, you deserve the night off!
Tomorrow is a new day though.

Everything is now fair in love and war. Thanks Judiciary!

Yes...there is an appeals tribunal if you want to challenge the judiciary decsiion. Wait for it!
and then there is this;
"The Roosters can apply for an Origin appearance to count towards Radley's suspension to have him back on deck earlier, though the club would need to prove he would have been picked for the Blues for that to be successful."
Freddy..will confirm. I assume that means for Crichton too!..he will then only miss 1 club game

I’m actually stunned by these decisions no other club would have the audacity to challenge these charges. For once justice prevailed. Bye bye Victor & Angus enjoy the break.

Based on what you say BLM01, in doing the sums, if SOO1 on 9/6/21 counted for 1 of the match suspensions, then he could return for the SOO2 match on 27/6/21, and the Roosters game on 1/7/21, is that correct?

I'm not overly fussed about whether or not Fittler has him picked for SOO1 and that the Roosters could use that to reduce his time out. I'm just happy that the Roosters lost in their judicial challenge for a change.

The SoO games can't be included for suspension purposes as the team hasn't been selected yet.
Now..... they can't be picked cos they are suspended they will have to sit out club games.

Was watching incidents relating to charges from the weekend, last night.
I am astounded that Hiroti only got 1 week for his blatant high tackle on Ramsay.

Well, if Radley continues to tackle the way he has been taught ba da bast caoches, he will be sitting in the stands many times watching his teammates play. It doesn't sit well for the likes of Adrian Lam and Craig Fitzgibbon who has taught him how to defend. Maybe they aren't da bast!

Exactly D.D. a rather sad reflection upon the coaches who instructed him .

And a even worst reflection upon the club itself , the Sydney Roosters for employing such tactics to purposely attack the heads of opposition teams - the very thing for which they have been crying out to all and sundry to be stopped .

Is that what one would call being hypocritical ?

What got me about Radley defending his style of tackling is that he has been suspended because of it , yet he possesses the utter stupidity to say there is no need to change .

Whatever , I just hope that Robinson is as pussed- off about the judiciary’s decision as are the players who copped the head highs from his mob of choir boys .

That maybe true and I thought so the case but the roosters have a bye in round 13
Has there been a rule change around the bye//SOO if would have been selected
I am likely wrong but I was just quoting what the NRL reporter said

Yes I’m a dragons supporter. Our team has been the worst treated under this new age regime of rules introduced in the tragic round.

It is total spin that the ‘new age’ continues with no change to it. BTW Phil Gould is now calling it the ‘new rugby league’ after It appeared he was tight with Peter V and supporting the severe crackdown. He appears to be changing his tune after Radley’s ‘ monster’ suspension. Apparently the NRL don’t want Radley in the ‘new Rugby League’.

After the magic round with the send offs the judiciary hit us hard in particular. Fuimanono was sent off and hit with a ‘reckless grade 1 ‘ for his high tackle on Papenhuyzen. ‘Reckless’ is a very unusual description and apparently seldom used. Fui had frantically scrambled to shut down a quick Storm backline overlap soon after we were reduced to 12 for a mild high glance 10 in sin bin McGuire tackle. Unfortunately Fui arrived to tackle Paps a faction late and unintentionally caught Paps head in the tangle. Paps was certainly bowing lower after the pass. Fui seemed to become the pin up crim of the new age after Peter V highlighted the sight of ‘elite’ player Papenhuyzen on a stretcher.Did this influence Fui’s unusual grading? McGuire then fell back on JAC legs and copped a grade 3 and Simms a grade 1 as it went bonkers bananas. Some how the Felise K shot on Normal escaped any judicial attention.

Last week Sharks chap belted Cody out of match with reckless high shot and Burns left for HIA blood pouring out of nose after a jolting high hit into the face by Duges. Note the Judiciary softened this all now to Grade 2 fluffy slap under the new age.

Who started all this? Wasn’t it Robbo with his post dragon match appeal for greater punishment of players after Teddy caught high by Jordan P? Teddy also doing a little ‘ slip sliding away ‘ in Jordan’s high tackle. I thought at the time ‘be careful what you wish for mate’ . Now second game into new rugby league and he has two high profile rooster players suspended including Victor R 5 weeks like Fui.

Hasn’t this whole saga turned off many rugby league fans as they are told from on high this is new rugby league like it or not?

My thoughts also rasaint , they were certainly the cause of the crackdown in the first instance , due to their big song and dance about “ attacks to the heads “ .

Of course it now comes to light they their players were instructed to do likewise for many a season now .

At the end of the day , they have been caught out for being one of the worst perpetrators of attacks to the heads of opponents .

So I can only echo those infamous words of a distinguished radio host “ Shame ! Shame ! Shame ! upon you Sydney Roosters , for bringing the game of rugby league in to disrepute !

Being a fair minded sort of a person and if I was running the NRL , I would not hesitate in fining the club a sum of no less than $500k for their sanctimonious behavior .

 

[Old Timer]

Can’t wait to see what they do with Olam

Almost an old fashioned spear tackle and barely got on report

I wonder if the match officials might be in trouble for not taking harder action or is it just that you have to stay down to get a player sent to the bin
