Manly may win but Williams and Matai are gone

[Usain Bolt]

Williams was worse, Matai would of gotten off if he wasnt such a grub but his record, he only needs to sneeze in the wrong direction and hes gone

 

[saint_marto88]

It doesn't, but it does....and it will. Sliding scale - goes regular season, halved for finals, halved again for GF, halved once more or ignored for Origin (depending on level of superstar)

Why? They miss the Grand Final ultimately in the end. The rest doesn't matter

 

[Disco]

People are getting worked up because its Matai, he should be fine

T-Rex is in trouble though!

 

[El Diablo]

thugs!

 

[Cronk2011]

Proberbly both get Grade 1 charges not too much in them Williams will get off with the early plea, Matai 1-2 weeks only because of his record.

 

[firechild]

Williams' forearm went straight across Yow Yee's chest. There was only a slight clip of the chin, possibly enough to get him a week off though.

Matai's wasn't bad at all. Slater has come up with far worse dozens of times and never even been questioned.

You need a new TV and some method of replaying the game.

Makes no sense

What I mean is that they'll give him the lowest grading possible, like they did for Hayne in 09.... but with Matai's record that will still mean a week or 2.

Until Matai has a 2-3 year period without an offence he'll forever be looking at longer suspensions than anyone else because of his loading. And rightfuly so as he is an absolute grub

 

[Packy]

If Williams goes then so does Wallace. It shouldn't matter that Wallace is a pissant. His was as high as Williams.

 

[Packy]

Actually f**k it. I don't care. 3 weeks each. The whinging will be fantastic.

 

[saint_marto88]

Yoh Yeh's tears won't help Matai

 

[firechild]

Matai actually threw his knees out in front of his body FFS.

He was going for a slater-esque slide tackle, trying to stop a try and got him flush with both knees.

Any other time of year and it would be a 4+ week suspension. For a GF they'll probably give him a week or 2

Unless it's Slater, then the referees and match review committee just close their eyes and pretend it never happened.

 

[Spanner in the works]

Should be gone for a week or two. I'm so sick of this "but it is a grand final" crap.

 

[eagles4eva]

Both will miss the GF, Matai has so much loading and Trex tackle just looks nasty...

 

[saint_marto88]

Storm/Warriors lack in centres, so that doesn't hurt too much

 

[LESStar58]

Being in Melbourne Ill have to wait for the highlights before I judge but at this stage I say Williams "no" and Matai "yes".

 

[Patsy]

while you all think they should be sent off and suspended for 20 weeks the facts are:

williams hit shoulder and slid up - grade one 75 points and free to play g/f

matai - no different to what billy slater does every second week but should be worried all the same. I am sure slater has been charged before and got the 75 points. 20% uploading for record but 25% early plea = free to play!!!

but if deemed to deliberately lead with the knees = 200 points and season over but his first reaction was to kick the ball and not deliberately knee.

 

[Wladimir Klitschko]

its disgraceful for anyone to miss a GF the judiciary system needs to be tweaked for finals games.

its the showpiece of the NRL you want the best players of both teams out there.

Yeah let's let them kill each other without consequence. :roll:

 

[Bman26]

Will be interesting to see if they get the same death by media that Smith got in 08.....
