Wow I just saw the king hit on Mamo for the first time. What an absolute dog act. If that were the NRL the guy would be rightfully rubbed out for half a season or more.

A disgraceful act and really disappointing that the Walkers are defending their player by downplaying the severity. I do not like the Walkers. They are a real arrogant and delusional mob.

Shane walker is probably one of the nicest blokes you could ever meet. When my triplets were born we spent a few weeks in special care along side Shane walkers new baby. So I basically saw Shane every day for a few weeks. Shane offered myself and my mrs to use his house in the city whenever we wanted to sleep, park our car or just get a break. We didn't take up the offer, but for a guy to do that for a stranger says a lot.

I think as qld cup level coaches they have now earnt a right to have a bit of arrogance about themselves.

Fair enough. They still need to conduct themselves properly on a serious issue though. My opinion remains unchanged and you cannot pick and choose when you do the right thing morally. Consistency. Chris is probably the reason I tarred them with the same brush and his comments this week about Mamo head butting a fist don't help. It was a dog shot. I wish they would agree as such.

After reading the article in the Herald posted by Rod about Gidleys protest re the ridiculously lenient sentence for the Mamo coward punch, I also picked this up in the 'comments'...

Although some references I've seen seem to indicate the decision was left for the QRL to determine the grading, the article clearly reflects it was the NRL match review committee that established the grading.

If the NRL want to assess what is shrinking the pool of junior talent, they might want to start reviewing how decisions like this influence parents considerations on what little Johnny might do on a Saturday.

For such a dog act from somebody who knew exactly what he was doing (i.e. intent) and is clearly trained to know how to punch - what society standards does the NRL think it has displayed by effectively condoning this on its biggest day?!

I have a lot of time for the stand Danny Green has publicly taken to condemn the coward punch and I'm glad that he hasn't let the NRL slip under the radar for this decision either.
