That was in 2020. Pretty sure all has been forgiven.Perhaps Burns will make his Dragons debut,
Shame for Fuimaono he’s been playing will but I think we can cover his spot for 2 weeks.

Must have pulled a hammy while travelling through time.?
Is Fui injured?

Those kinky roostersSurprise surprise, the chooks get another player off at the judiciary.
I am not surprised. We lost Jack Bird for a week for a little nudge. If Bird played for the Roosters instead of us, well we all know what the answer would have been!!?Surprise surprise, the chooks get another player off at the judiciary.

Pfft..Paul Crawley is a typical alarmist PC journo but of course nothing to do with his love for Ricky and Canberra.
Thanks getsmarty.

Pereira's highly publicised hit on Roosters fullback James Tedesco will see him miss three weeks with an early guilty plea after being charged with a grade three careless high tackle.
Fellow winger Ravalawa is facing two to three weeks on the sidelines after being hit with a grade two shoulder charge on Roosters centre Josh Morris.
Fuimaono's grade one careless high tackle, also on Tedesco, will see him fined $1350 with an early guilty plea.
The Dragons have until 12pm Tuesday to lodge each player's pleas.

Looking at Ravalawa's tackle, it was in the ribs.
You can't wrap your arms around if you are bent over and your head is down.
If we challenge it, I think we may be successful.
This is how I would respond
My defence for Ravalawa is he led with his shoulder (and head). This is how a good tackle to the abdomen (gut) region is executed. You lead with the shoulder (forget about the head for now) and drive into the oppositions body. Your arms then come into play to wrap around the body of your opponent as you lift and drive them into the ground hoping it is the cricket pitch (old grounds of yesteryear) area so they feel the real impact of the tackle. There is every chance your opponent will have sore ribs his breath will be knocked out of him and there is every chance his head will strike the ground/cricket pitch and be knocked senseless.
Now his head hit the opponent's gut as he came from the side and misjudged or mistimed the tackle by Milli seconds. Also Ravalawas right arm doesn't wrap because of the angle of attack and he uses it to maintain his balance. His left arm does wrap if you look at the photo taken from behind Morris (that photo has been produced by someone here on Facebook have any of you seen it?). Actually you can see Ravalawa's left arm make contact with Josh Morris's body in this photo.
There we have it a legitimate tackle he did not use a shoulder charge and did not strike the opponent's head.
Not guilty!
Then again, they will show how serious they are over Shoulder charges by standing firm against the Dragons....and protecting the chooks.
This is a terrible system where you can't question the charges for fear of extra penalty.
I know the commentators have to have their say but surely the coaches involved can be asked to not influence the process by making demands and comments until after the reviewers are done.
Robinson has a sook after every damn game.
