Mark Coyne...my childhood hero...is a f**king moron...I’ve lost all faith in that merkin...end rant.
Please, you're responding to something said on an online forum... from possm.

My favourite memory of Mark Coyne was when he was knocked out, but got up again. It was at Kogarah. In the NW corner we saw it all.

Our goal line was under serious stress and he was staggering, Team mates literally pushed Coyney out to the wing. The opposition saw it and that's where they targetted their attack.

Mark Coyne pulled off a try-saving tackle. He saved the day, and I doubt very much if he remembered any of it.

You can't coach that sort of commitment.

my greatest memory of Coyne was when he burned Canberra in a 93 semi. He always played with heart no matter what. He was St George through and through.

my worst memory of Coyne was when he endorsed Mary...followed by getting drunk in Singapore and getting arrested for being an idiot....but that’s not as bad as endorsing Mary.

So Melbourne prop escapes last night's brutal shoulder to the face with a fine. That's insane.
If all of the incidents of crusher tackles and shoulder hits were from Dragons' players, then suspensions for sure. I must say though in defence to those players, just all bad timing or the way they fell except for the Eels guy, Niukore on Eisenhuth.

I would have to watch it again but I'm sure that shoulder was lead with intent

The tackle by Nelson Solomona that was definitely leading the shoulder with intent to maim and should have been weeks. Potential to do real damage how does that compare with the tackle by Tyrell with intent to injury. Get real!!

Why not complain about judiciary in this thread might come to someone's attention that way. There will be more so now we can find it all in one place. Simple
I feel we as a club get dicked around with the judiciary. I can’t even remember the last time Saints fought a charge and got off!! Never happens yet other clubs....
And can someone explain the difference between Tariq’s suspensions with shoulder to head contact compared to NAS vs Parra?? Am I losing the plot on this one or did he absolutely get the Parra player flush in the face with his shoulder?? Fine. Nil suspension. Get Fu**ed you cun**

There go feel better now you got that off your chest.
That is exactly how I feel. I look and go that was bad he lead with his shoulder. What no charge oh I get it he is so tall it was accidental he didn't mean it. f**k he tried to kill the bloke at least give him a broken jaw. What oh yeah he plays for Melbourne do it again it's ok.
See now we can complain and it's all here in one place. Nice

I realize that I have harped on about Gutherson on another thread , however at the time I didn’t realize the the grub was only to receive a fine .

I just cannot understand the duplicity of the judiciary ? The mug should had been hung , drawn and quartered for his hit on the unprotected Clune .

They never cease to amaze me with their dubious decisions on just what constitutes foul play . Mugs !

The best action should be for the ref to called 'held' nore quickly. Forget about the post contact metres, player safety is more important. I say, once two defending players have grabbed hold of an attacking player, the ref should immediately call 'held'.

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.
