The funniest part is seeing players the calibre of Prior being described as a 'blue'. Are they really getting that desperate?

Who really cares, Saints got flogged and that is all that matters.

Deserved a couple of more weeks but meh, Prior is a complete nuffy with feet for hands who does more harm than good for the dragons so letting him play sooner is punishing the Dragons.

People might accuse me of bias (frankly I don't care, we pumped the Dragons and that's all that matters to me) but seriously that's a joke.

Why did they even bother referring it to the judiciary if he was only going to get 5 weeks? They bang on and on about high contact to the point where a slap in the act of making a tackle = penalty, and yet when one of the worst high shots seen in a long time comes to the judiciary they give the softest possible sentence.

The whole disciplinary system is such a farce.

I *love* watching Queensland dickheads implode when they don't get their own way.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
It reminds me of the last 6 years watching NSW'kers go ballistic during and after an Origin series. Gallen last year was priceless!

What a farce.
Teo is graded with a grade 4 (they fought and had it dropped to 2 weeks) and they are basically saying that the elbow to the head is only worst by one game????????????
Idris gets basically nothing for a punch to the head of Lyon
Ashton sims gets let off for an elbow to the head

MRC and judiciary are more of a joke than the Craig Thompson affair

Yep, but the funny thing will be when Wayne brings him to the Knights

he got 45% decrease as he admitted his guilt - tony williams pleaded not guilty - thats the issue with the judicary not matt priors fault.

I can live with 5 weeks, no point having a meltdown over it. Ashton Sims should have had a little spell after the Darwin game so we're not exactly the club to be taking the moral high ground over judiciary decisions.

At least Prior will be on the field next time we play them (hopefully), if our boys are fair dinkum they will give him some (legal) curry when he carts the ball up.
