This sets a very dangerous precident.

Stupid decision by the judiciary - the message is, if you have offended before, you will lose every time. If you haven't been charged before, you will get off.

LOL....such naivety

Try: It aint what you know ...its who you know

They have set a very very dangerous precedent here. No wonder this game has fans ready to tear seats out of the foundations at times. Dugan was split open and concussed. Roosters should be ashamed of themselves. Politis runs a fake club full of plastic fans and eastern suburbs princesses. How any player can have pride in that jumper beggars belief.

Dugan caught a stray boot which cut him open you stupid trailer park boy

Oh God. :lol: im still laughing.

LOL@LOL@50uff$ fans making this about LOL@50uff$. Mini playing this week really only hampers the Roosters if we're being fair dinks, maybe that factored into the decision

You're on to something there.

 

[aussie_q_factor]

C'mon guys! It's not his go....we all know that.

Put him in a Souths jersey and watch him get 6 weeks.

What a f**king disgrace. This is one of the all time jokes.

Souths fans have a right to feel slightly aggrieved given the Inglis suspension. Best of luck to Mini and fair play to him - you do what you can to get off - but this decision makes no sense whatsoever given that it was at least as dangerous as the Inglis tackle.

At least as dangerous, and more evidence of intent.

IMO it compares to the Burns tackle. How can they argue what Burns did is so much worse?

:lol: lol@souffs

Inglis and Burns are known and scientifically proven grubs. The Inglis shot was a clear shoulder charge to the head. Burns was a deliberate high tackle.

Mini was just derping. It was nowhere near as bad as either of those two hits and anyone who thinks it was is off their head.

I came on LU tonight just for this reaction. Thanks morons :lol:

(for the record, I thought 2 weeks)

i can see it now

"Mr Minichello, this act was reckless and deserves to be condemned, however we find that a suspension will not adequately punish the Sydney Roosters, there for as sentencing goes, to ensure your side feels the full weight of your recklessness, we dismiss all charges and insist you play out the remainder of the season, at fullback... I dont have RTS in my supercoach team anyways"

 

[dogslife]

Mini is free to tackle the Tigs this weekend. But f**k Sheens for naming Loltzen at 6. That battle would have been epic, honestly think the universe would've exploded

 

[adamkungl]

Comparing Mini to Loltzen is harsh indeed DL.

 

[Geohood]

I have a feeling that that let him off since he will play his 250th match then announce his retirement?

 

[dogslife]

Retire? How's he suppose to be your captain next year if he's retired. No, Mini has many good.... Many years left in him yet

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Wow.

As a Raiders fan, I don't really give a sh*t TBH. He got sent off and cost his team the game against us so we got all we could out of it.

Odd decision though.

interesting theory.

 

[Cryptic]

Honestly it doesn't matter who it is or what the situation was but if you hit someone high TWICE in a 5 second period it has to be at least a few weeks on the side line...

The worst thing is if Dugan had needed more than "just" a few stiches then he would have been gone... It shouldn't depend on if they were f**ked up or not because of it... It should be for what happened... If I was running around like an idiot throwing my arms around at random (so Mini's tackling style apparantly) and accidently hit someone in the head hard enough they required stiches I'm pretty sure I'd be done for assault...

The "system" is a complete joke... I swear they just use a magic eight ball, sit around for an hour watching TV and drinking on the company dime then give whatever answer they got...

 

[adamkungl]

Yeah the first one wasn't even high, try again champ.

 

[no name]

A bit off topic, but it's kinda related, I'm wondering how Vidot avoided time on the sideline.
Does his penalty decrease because he is too uncoordinated to connect?
The intent was there for all to see.
