JWH suspended for two matches :)

[jack coburn]

No, he is charged for high contact, not for being late.

Fair enough . I didn’t think it was high but definitely late. To be honest if he gets suspended league gone to the dogs

Really?

He will easily get off then because he didn't hit him high.

 

[Valheru]

How?
It’s when a bloke tackles a bloke who has clearly offloaded/kicked the ball.

No it isn't

It's when a player clearly has time to pull put of the tackle post a player getting rid of the ball.

I think it is the contact with the head right at the end.
He drives his shoulder into Pongas head into the ground.
It was unnecessary.
They were getting flogged .
Dumb shit from JWH.

Ha
Ok
He had heaps of time then.

 

[super_coach]

It was not late or high..but some real grubby stuff went on after impact. The guy needs a holiday for stupidity if nothing else

 

[Knight76]

The tackle was late, thats it.

Penalty and play on.

His earlier effort on Ponga when penalised for holding down by the neck, he gave Ponga a bit of forearm action to the head also, that one was worse.

His tackle on Ponga was late but a solid shot. If that were a Knights forward who did that tackle, but not late, I'd be cheering. As I was with the Dsaf hit on Keary.

Keary's hit was all Keary's fault. He got the ball and didn't pay any attention to the D. Got nailed for it.

It's tough RL as it should be.

Yeah, that's how I see it too.

The situation is a bit farcical to now have JWH cited and suspended for two games (if uncontested) based on something the in game field and video referees had no problem with after review, coming only minutes before a penalty was given for what should be the definition of completely unavoidable accidental high contact on a falling ball carrier.

Geez there's some stupid shit in this game sometimes.

 

[simmo05]

The problem is that he had the audacity to tackle ponga hard. Matty johns has probably put a hit out on jwh

 

[rooster25]

Put your Easts hatred to the side there is no way that should be a charge. Could of been penalised for late hit but it wasn’t high at all. The ref and video ref both looked at it and deemed it legal. This is embarrassing.

Rightfully so. Ponga > anyone you’ve ever loved.

Send this to the cave.

Someone should send you to the cave.

Preferably to the one in Thailand....

 

[Vee]

Not really a new species. He’s in the “QLD Origin spine future immortal spine player” category.

Maybe a subspecies.

And rightly so Bil.

And then pray for rain.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

This cracked me up.

 

[Pedge1971]

Send this to the cave.

And file it next to all the crap I post on here

 

[Pedge1971]

He had an 8 on 1 fight after the fair hit and won.

At least he won something I guess...

 

[Tommy Smith]

At least he won something I guess...

He's won 2 Premierships and 4 Minor Premierships.

Meanwhile in that time the Knights have won 3 wooden spoons and... rnd 11.

Congrats!

What? Ponga got a bloody nose from the contact
