Anyone keen to have a look head over to NRL.com the match highlights are up.

Added bonuses include Soward and Fien getting homo with each other and Jack de Belin projectile vomiting with nerves.

Grade 5 striking would be my guess, same charge as Glen Stewart got when deliberately elbowing Anasta off the ball and in the teeth.

Dont know what his carry overs are like but that would normally bring about a 5-6 week suspension.

Why grade it? Do we want to send a message or are we going soft again. Should be ungraded, no question about it. Let the judiciary decide.

Nothing like a good witch hunt.

So people aren't entitled to their opinion Snappy? It seems that any defence is akin to being a Prior lover? Well, I guess that means any attempt at reason should be locked away.

Prior needs some time on the sideline, that much is obvious... for more reasons than this thread has put forward. Moreover, all the 'experts' here might consider their love of the soap opera.

Cool story bro :thumn

If you want to really punish saints then you won't suspend him at all

:lol:

Can't argue with that though 4-7 weeks seems the most likely scenario as I'm pretty he has a fairly clean judicary record, Fortunatley Thurston is okay.

Agree, bit like if the Tigers wanted to punish the Dragons they should have released Moltzen. I wondering if the Dragons are regretting letting go Cashmere, at this rate we might need him back.

Let's get a bit real for a minute and apply some NRL rules to this.

The charge will be (IMO) - Intentional High Tackle: Grade 5 = 950 points.

"100 points received by a player will result in a one match suspension."

But, then you have this other bullshit where it says: "
8. Send Off

In the event a player is sent from the field for misconduct, the player will receive a discount from any resulting charge for that incident. The player will have one point deducted from the charge for each minute of the match he misses due to the send off."

The hit was in the 55th minute, so he gets 25 points deducted.

So, 925 points if he has no carry over points already = 9 weeks suspension with 25 carry over points.

EDIT: "
Early plea

If the player enters an early plea to the offence and accepts the grading, the player is entitled to a reduction of 25 per cent of the base penalty and also a similar reduction in any increases due to other previous offences. A player can enter an early plea up until midday on the day following the charge."

So he gets 25% of that 925 taken off, making it then 694 points, which will be 6 weeks with 94 carry over points.

I think it'll be referred straight to the judiciary & then classified as striking rather than a high tackle, as it wasn't a tackle. From there, I'd say he'll receive an 8 match suspension. ( I'm pretty sure he has a clean record ).

Any reference to Tony Williams is irrelevant. Completely different incidents. The only similar incident I can recall is Mark Riddell on Braith Anasta in 2002 (sent off and suspended for 4 matches).
