Nikora - charged by MRC

[Inferno]

Tbh he looked banged up so maybe a week off is good for his body

Particularly for a rookie who has played big minutes and 6 games straight of first grade.

 

[Griffoshark66]

f**king joke.

 

[Card Shark]

Need to fight it

The pic I just saw the hand isn't between the legs

Must have been photoshopped.

Under the interpretation, between the legs means literally that. Doesn’t need to be the traditional squirrel grip. Most of these have the offender with a hand around one leg and lifting.

Despite it being a nothing tackle I would be surprised if he got off

 

[Card Shark]

Isn’t it about over the horizontal & dangerous position?

He might’ve been past horizontal but he didn’t come down in a dangerous position, he came down on his shoulder.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

cant see him getting off.

Was BN even put on report at the time of the incident? Can he be suspended if not?

 

[Card Shark]

Don’t think he was put on report but he can most certainly be cited by the match review committee.

Well the tackle can’t have been that bad if the referee didn’t even put him on report

 

[Quigs]

He should just use the NRL Billy Slater defence. I know everyone saw it and saw it as it was but just maybe it didn't happen.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Rest him up for the week......and use the two week break to get his contract sorted.

Seriously? More than half the snarks suspended are not put on report. Most charges come from the MRC.

Sometimes.

It’s nothing to do with the landing either. Dangerous is dangerous no matter what the outcome. Same as blokes being penalised for spearing in at kickers. Most times the kicker is OK but the practice is dangerous.

BTW, past horizontal cooks ya goose instantly.

Unless you’re Cameron Smith, who did that to a Roosters player last night...

Once or twice per game.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

very strange not fighting it.

No point. He needs a week off anyway

Does having a suspension under the belt harm his chances at Rookie of the year? (He will be a big chance if he keeps playing like he has). Or is that Dally M only?

ROTY is a Dally M award but I don’t know if he is ineligible now or not
