Maloney free to play

There was nothing wrong with that. It happens 100 times in every match.

A penalty would have been sufficient in that instance.

SBW fell into it anyway.

Back to the problem here Jennings, Napa and Evans got off when they shouldn't have.

When watching the match I was certain they'd be suspended. But I should have thought how there's a Roosters supporter at the judiciary or sly Politis working his magic with his dirty work.

I know why you're saying lol, I would be too if my team got away with that. You do know they should be sitting out but obviously you won't admit it!!!
So in conclusion: Roosters players bad, Rabbits players good.

Cool, gotchya.

Good to see the souffs fans handling the fact that the Roosters are superior to them and every other team well.

Glory glory to the days when your shit club wasn't part of the national competition.

I love how "it is a conspiracy" and "the fix is in" because Maloney got a level 1 tripping charge, and neither Napa nor Moa got charged. I mean those pro-Roosters men at the NRL in Todd Greenburg and Shane Richardson really show... oh wait :lol:

How Napa, Jennings and Evans got off is an absolute joke.

Someone at the judiciary must support the Roosters.

If I went for the Roosters I'd be over the moon with all these guys getting off at the judiciary when they should've been sitting out for a match/s.

Why do you keep mentioning the judiciary? They had nothing to do with these decisions. One can't help but conclude that you have no idea how this process works.

Additionally, why do you constantly use the term "get off"? Evans and maloney have both been punished. Do you not understand the system allows for non suspension punishments?

I have to admit, i am intrigued, enlighten us as to what Jennings allegedly did.

Nappa's report was the biggest joke of the week
Apparently you can do a crusher tackle when you're not touching someone

Andrew Johns actually laughed at the report on the Sunday Footy show when they showed the footage

The fact that the match review committee threw it out without referring to the judiciary speaks volumes


As for Evans - the guy is brainless. However, he didn't get off. He DID get charged with a contrary conduct charge. As a clean skin (laughable after that shoulder charge which wasn't charged on Kasiano) he took the early plea and the carry over points. He won't be so lucky next time and I agree he should be facing a ban if Burgess is for retaliating and I'm a Roosters fan. That's badly worded. I don't think Evans deserves a ban. I just think the suspension against Burgess is pathetic.

Maloneywas also charged and copped a guilty plea. However, his long standing record of doing nothing stupid before means he doesn't deserve to be suspended for what he did. He didn't hurt anyone, realised what he was doing was stupid and pulled out. That's why the Souths player didn't go down. The contact was almost non-existent.

Taking an early plea is not the same as "getting off"
It means you did something wrong and admitted it.

I think most of us are confused with the process currently, it is pretty shit.

The review panel or whatever you call them who give out the charges, I've forgotten the guys name who does this. I've seen him on the NRL website videos before.

Anyway he must have a soft spot for the Roosters.

Maloney should have got 2wks for what he did. A Souths player would have got 2 wks for that and a grade 2. Maloney is very lucky. I do understand Maloney took the early guilty plea to the grade 1 and doesn't have carry over points. But that's beside the point as he should have got a grade 2.

Napa did a crusher tackle and should miss a wk. Last year Souths players missed a week for the same thing as what Napa did.

Jennings did a careless high shot with intent on a Souths player and ch 9 said it should have been on report and that it was unnecessary. Jennings should miss a week for this.

Your players get away with grubby play every week. Its an utter joke.

Used to be back in the 90s.

The dragons and Wes "he doesn't know the rules" Naiqama put paid to that back in 2005 though when he did he best Cobra Kai impression on Mini without any issue.

So was there an official rule change? I can't find anything on it, and it was puzzling how Reynolds managed to stay on the field after those numerous incidents.

The NRL is again letting themselves and the refs down by not having a link (or downloadable pdf) on their main website that has all of the current rules and the guidelines for refs to enforce them. That way fans have instant access to the rules and rationales around decisions made on the field.

Why "should" he have got 2 weeks? Simply because it is your opinion? That is not how the match review and judicial process works. The precedent has been set and you are just having a little sook because the team you support are barely of finals quality.

Just because you do not understand how the process works does not mean it is a confusing system. It just means you are a dopey merkin.

Even if Maloney was charged with a grade 2, challenged it at the judiciary and lost he would still only miss a week because the base charge is 175 points. For him to miss 2 weeks it would have to have been a grade 3 charge.

Napa's tackle wasn't a crusher. I can understand the ref giving a penalty as it looked ugly. And how the f**k do you do a careless shot with intent? You're either careless which means you hit the guy high by accident or it was intentional which means you hit a guy high on purpose. If he actually meant to hit a guy high he would be looking at 4+ weeks on the sideline as a minimum

this maloney thing is the biggest non-event. it was a stupid reactionary move. doesnt even warrant a suspension from a trial game.

despite the fact reynolds keeps getting away with blatent trips which are designed to knock over other players, the maloney one barely warranted a charge. and i'm not a rorters fan

and the MRC's ridiculous interpretation of a shoulder charge is irrelevant to this maloney brainsnap

How the match review and judicial process works is in favour of the Roosters.

The precedent has been set, keep letting Roosters players off. At worst give them a grade 1 so with an early plea they can play.

Its clear you're being biased by your hatred for Easts, i think the MRC got all decisions correct.

There was nothing in the Dylan Napa tackle, accident with no intent.

Michael Jennings was a good strong hit and same with Sam Moa.

Kane Evans and James Maloney were charged fair and given a grading.

Sometimes you just need to realise your team wasn't good enough on the day like when Souths beat Easts the last two occasions fair and square.

Let it go.

P.s the guys you're referring to is Michael Beautner who is a former Parramatta and North Sydney Centre/Five Eight from the 90's
