Munsters moment he truly became a Storm player

[El Diablo]

$1,400 fine for a kick to the head is absolutely pathetic from the NRL but sadly not entirely unexpected.

well you could see his hands so therefore was trying to make a tackle

 

[Rhino_NQ]

They should suspend ryles

 

[BennyV]

The true moment he became a Storm player is when he was let off with a pissy fine!

Melbourne needs to be nuked. I live far enough from the CBD not to suffer any immediate effects but I can handle the long term effects. I've lived more than half my life anyway.

Make the MCG ground zero and make sure Cunster is standing on the cricket pitch. Not until this happens will I be satisfied.

I like your style and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

There's actually more proper fans in Perth or Adelaide than there are in Melbourne. Blow the f**king joint up and start again with the 16th side as the Rams or whatever the Perth outfit is called.

$1400 and no games for a blatant kick to the head. f**k me days. What's a grade 3 charge in that regard, what Russell Packer did? The NRL safe in the knowledge they can keep it quiet in the wake of the GF and no one will put up too much of a fuss, allowing Munster to play for the Kangaroos.

Pathetic, piss weak f**king organisation the NRL is.

It was nudge, stop being such pussies. He needs to get the red mist stuff out of his game if he isnt going to become another Travis Burns on the field, or Todd Carney off it.

Oh okay, I think we should amend the rules so nudges in the head are allowed then. Only on an east-west direction, initially, and we'll see how we go from there.

He's a complete meathead who got shitty at losing, so kicked a guy prone on the ground in the head. How that isn't a suspension is so far beyond me.

We love talking hypotheticals so if this was Issac Luke in round 6, he'd have got 4-6 weeks I reckon.

Who said they're allowed? just not a hangable offence, even if he is a Melbourne player. ps he is a Kangaroo and NRL is notorious for not suspending Kangaroos before test matches, Kiwis on the other hand ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I like the th epost on the other thread that suggested NRL should do away with match bans for anything other than really serious offences and instead hit the players in the wallets. A few $20k fines out of your pay packet and you'd soon be careful about what you did on the field.

How much did Friend get for his spear tackle?

Asking for a friend.

If you don't think a kick to the head is a serious offence you are f**ked

 

[carcharias]

Oh dear
Are they trying to defend that dead shit Munster??
Last week was a shoulder charge
This week it’s kicking blokes in the back of the head while they lay on the ground.

Ha

Pathetic merkins

Absolutely pathetic.
They have banned the shoulder charge, and have a minimum of 2 weeks if found guilty, and yet allow such a dog act like kicking go with a fine.
It gets harder to support the game.

Probably 15 months just like Bob Cooper.

 

[kbw]

Should have been at least 10 games.
I guess the NRL let the Storm do an internal review like Souffs did with the Burgii

 

[Glenn]

Disappointed in the decision from the Match review committee, but not surprised.

Obsessed

It was a fairy tap, just like the Tamou one.

 

[carcharias]

Ha
Unbelievable
A shoulder charge in the act of stopping a try I get.
It is shit but at least the ball was in play.

However to kick a bloke in the head , while he is on the ground is just f**ked.
No matter how hard it is it is a f**king suspension every day of the week.

I’d say it is as bad as shoving your finger up another players arse.


I wish the NRL would at least try to hide the fact there is seperate rules for the storm.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

“Just a tap”

So if he had have tried to boot him and missed completely it wouldn’t even be penalty worthy?

 

[Front-Rower]

Sets a great example for the rest of the community doesn’t it. Kick a bloke in the head and get a fine of $1400, not even the cost of a new iPhone Xs Max.
