What a load of BS. Unintentional imo and he should fight it

 

[Big Tim]

We are gonna need him. He is the leader of our dominant pack..... without him the word dominant is changed to dominated.

 

[perverse]

Missing our key prop for our most important match in years. Great. Thought he might get pinged for it.

 

[Rod]

TBH I'm not that surprised. I'd like to defend him but it didn't look flash.

I say after the Smith debacle he should just cop the 2 weeks. It sucks for the Roosters game but we'll just have to make do.

 

[Haffa]

BS. Players can kick people in the head and get nothing, another player puts their head in the wrong place making a tackle ops a knee and it's a grade 2.

 

[Nuffy]

I'd fight it and use the Slater elbow on Pearce as the example of when things look blatant and yet the player is absolved of guilt and its deemed accidental.

Even if he loses, he will accurately expose the hypocrisy of the judiciary and their patchy judgement.

Fair point actually, didn't they say a part of slater being "innocent" was that he wasn't looking at Robbie? Kade wasn't looking down at the player either he was looking forward.

I can remember being taught to lift my knees in tackles. If a player tries to tackle head on in around the knees he will eventually get hit. Bad tackling form.

Still, it didn't look good. Given that contesting these rarely seems to work I'd go for the early plea. If it could be downgraded to 1 with an early plea all the better.

F#ck this game is turning into netball!

Would like to see if you think the same if you where on the receiving end of that knee.

Welcome back trollboy2010. If I copped that knee you know what would have happened? I would have thought to myself, damn I was stupid for attempting a head on tackle at such a low position.

 

[Rod]

Normally I'd be the first to defend one of our guys (I thought the Smith suspension was completely ridiculous) but I think this charge is fair. You can't just have blokes sprinting at the defensive line and raising their knee at the last second.

Guys are allowed to tackle low. Snowy lifted his knee above what would be deemed as a normal running position just before coming into contact. We just have to cop it.

 

[Yosh]

What the... He didn't knee anyone... You have to raise your knees to run don't you? Terrible decision.

Watch it again, it wasn't a normal running action unfortunately.

 

[knightsarmy]

He should try the Billy Slater defense , he always gets off these.
Unfortunately it doesn't look good

 

[TheFrog]

Adam Docker has a fractured cheekbone.

You've got Knights people here agreeing it looks like the knee was raised. Certainly looks that way to me too.

I'd suggest 2-3 weeks is very very lenient indeed.

 

[Spot On]

After what Jeremy Smith copped you gladly take the two. However, as someone mentioned above, they could have had some fun highlighted a Billy Slater feet and elbow package as a defence.

He did lift his knee but also pulled back. Trying to tackle like that is stupid. Look at it in normal speed and it's just a usual run. I reckon Snowden will take 2 weeks though.

Looking again I think they way Snowden baulked in the tackle probably put the players timing off such that his head was in front instead of behind. Surely no player would go in head first to the knees like that intentionally.
