He forearmed a player in the face you genius. JT didn't do anything to his brother. If he is emotionally incapable of controlling himself, he shouldn't be playing Football.

Where did I say anything about this you goose, bringing his family into a completely unjust. Your a disgrace

So by your logic, he struck JT in the face while being completely emotionally stable. That's an even worse case for him.

You idiot.

There are some f**king ignorant people in here.

5 weeks is about bang on.

Comparisons to the Williams lifting tackle are utterly ridiculous for a start - Williams had loading.

The fact Prior had no record before this, and the fact Thurston wasn't injured, would both count.

Honestly? If I had the choice of being in the position of De Gois or Thurston, I'd rather be in Thurston's position. A shot straight on the face would be far less dangerous and perilous to ones health than being dropped on my head by someone 10-20kg heavier.


Even so, 5 weeks is a lot of time in the modern game anyway.

Listen up seat pisser, we don't tell you not to post because of your afflictions. I know who is emotionally incapable of controlling himself ! FFS
Appears you have copped a few forearms to the head or perhaps just dropped on it :sarcasm:
Now let the big people talk...

The fact is more than 60% of people who took part in the poll thought it would be 8 weeks or less, 5 weeks is obviously on the lower end of that but not totally out of the ordinary. Those whinging now are the ones that feel the need to continue to justify their 12 weeks to life ban claims.

Apparently in your deluded opinion, if anything I think he got a week or 2 less then he should have.
But for you too bring ones family into it says more about you not me

Gallop is not a member of the judiciary, at least not to my knowledge.

No but he is the useless f*ckwit who would direct them as to what is acceptable and not acceptable as far as penalties. ie as the head of the league he would have input into how the grading system works etc

Well, I would have thought so. Maybe he just realises how f*cked they are and hands out his own suspensions when he likes.

5 weeks is too light for that one. But good luck to him. He doesn't set the penalties. The pinheads at the judiciary do.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your typical merge supporter. they can put the Souffs fans in the shade at times. Putting Origin rivalry ahead of common sense makes you a disgrace to the game.

It wasn't a great look for the game but the game itself has been in strife for years people like Lui hitting woman and other players accused of rape and god knows what else.

Matt made an error injudgement and he is paying for it the judiciary who has come under fire has made a decision right or wrong they made it and the game will move on.

Thusrton will play S.O.S and won't miss any games so for him its still a good situation at least they didn't make him out to be the model citizen which he is far from.

Show me where it says I cannot have it both ways.

If you are too dumb to know when I am trolling and when I am not, that is your problem to deal with, loser.
