NRL JUDICIARY

[PJ]

do you think the NRL conspires to deprive the sharks of success?

Do you not think some clubs and players tend to get away with more whilst some others seem to cop it for every little thing?

 

[millersnose]

no

do you?

man nz plays hell dirty...sharks will hopefully kill em

 

[PJ]

I think some players get a dream run yes.

There have been a couple of elbows from Mr Johns that have gone unpunished.

Smith was hounded out of Australia for lifting the knees yet it happens regularly and I can't remember many other citings since. Parson even knocked Triester out with a knee the year before last and nothing.

Check todays tele for the picture of Simmons on the recieving end of a dangerous tackle that there has been no mention of.

Absolutely no consistency

 

[millersnose]

oh i beleive consistancy is a problem

always will be in contact sports when there is fine lines and grey areas

but i do not think the NRL is biased against any particulair clubs

 

[PJ]

Maybe not clubs, but certain high profile players seem to get away with a hell of a lot more.

And guys who get a bad rep seem to cop it a lot more.

 

[millersnose]

i think there is an element of that

but would you call it NRL bias against the sharks?

and by the way PJ you going down on saturday?

 

[RICHO]

Do you work for them Millers?

Do you seriously not believe that some clubs get favourable treatment by the NRL?

 

[millersnose]

no

no

 

[RICHO]

:roll:

 

[millersnose]

do you have any evidence of this conspiracy RICHO?

besides bird kneeing someone in the head followed by a spear tackle?

 

[RICHO]

No problems with Bird getting 10 weeks for kneeing mate. That's not part of a conspiracy at all.

It's just that every time a Sharks player does anything, they get suspended. And other players (i.e. that Knights fella) get let off. Those Warriors boys getting let off is a joke.

It seems to me that a lot of people get nothing, while others (quite often Sharks) get punished big time.

Morley has been suspended how many times? And how many times for over a week? The system is wrong. Very wrong.

 

[warren]

I agree with Richo. Gallen got suspended before for what?he didnt even land one puch, but these warriors players wont even miss a match

 

[millersnose]

you dont think gallen should have been suspended simply because he didnt throw a punch?

 

[RICHO]

you dont think gallen should have been suspended simply because he didnt throw a punch?

HUH?!?
What do you mean Millers?

 

[millersnose]

Sorry Richo

was speaking to warren

 

[dreary]

This is an absolute joke, ET was known as an excellent defender because he made about 5 tackles per match almost identical to this one ... hit the player with the shoulder around the thighs and hips, pick him up and drive him backwards then lay him on his back.
NO Consistency and it is penalising solid tackling technique that is drilled into you when you are a boy learning the game (especially a back)

 

[millersnose]

inconsistancies are a feature of judiciaries in contact sport

if it came to a level of complete consistancy then it wouldnt be contact sport anymore

a necessary evil

i dont see any bias though

 

[RICHO]

You see it as inconsistant, others see it as inconsistent bias!!!!

And if Gallen was suspended for fighting, then that Warriors bloke should have a long holiday. That wasn't a fight, the Eels fella didn't throw a single punch. More like "striking" five or six times.


And the way the NRL judiciary is going, they don't want contact in the game anymore.

 

[warren]

I was talking about when he got suspended after the tigers game where he 'hit' that tigers player (forgot who it was)
