OT: Tariq Sims - out for the year

[Frenzy.]

Sims was charged with a Grade 3 Careless High Tackle for an incident on Sharks winger Connor Tracey that saw Sims sin-binned on Saturday night. As his third and subsequent charge this year, Sims will miss four matches with an early guilty plea or five matches if he contests the charge and is unsuccessful.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Once again not sure how the bunker decides in their wisdom to give him just 10 minutes. Ffs they had long enough to get it right while CT was laying on the deck.

 

[Miller was a legend]

It’s not his go

 

[Poss]

Brandon Smith with a fine for his hip drop. Seriously inconsistent.

Remember Nikoras hip drop that saw him get 2 weeks? That was a regulation tackle in normal motion.

Tariq just became a trivia question,
who did Tariq Sims play against in his last game for St.George/Illawarra?

 

[Tiger Shark]

Good. Should have been a send off

He was having a sook with security after the game , some fans in upper ET gave it to him. Might have been some beer accidentally spilt.

 

[Frenzy.]

What about the 2 crusher charges? Tapine must have a prior. Maybe the punch last week?

We'll get a whole trivia night out of this

To his credit he did seem genuinely concerned for Tracey’s well-being.

But yes I thought a send off could have easily been the result.

It’s all well and good to talk about Tracey ducking into the tackle but the point of contact was up around the temple, not the chin. Which tells me it was always going to be high contact.

Thats what I thought. He looked genuinely concerned for Tracey. My household was thinking this will be a send off.

Bet he's relieved he's finally free of that shit-hole of a club.

Follow up question for a bonus point. On the same night which person referred to an opposition player as a weak gutted dog?

I thought it should have been a send off. Look back at Kennedys clothesline on Walsh that had him sent. Different type of tackle, but Walsh was completely fine yet Tracey was in all sorts. I use to think the injury shouldn’t effect the punishment but I’m starting to think the other way. Even if Tracey wasn’t as low as he was, that was a clear shoulder to the head

It's all very well to mention ducking into a tackle or being low or whatever other euphemism the commentators of the ex player variety keep plugging to excuse their mates a player can't hit the head of another player.

I refuse to buy into it. He hit him in the head, with a shoulder, with force and that's all she wrote.

Send off every day of the week

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Look at what kennedy and burgess got sent off for, clothesline tackles that look spectacular but aren't hurting the player. Then you get a player ko'd the moment he was hit and no send off. Typical nrl inconsistency.

 

[Stake Removed]

If that was Tedesco who ducks into tackles it's a send off

Exactly.

The fact that he had no intention to make the tackle with his arms should of been the defining point. He should of been sent. Klein and the bunker f**k up once again. Leading ref my arse.

A guy is being checked for possible neck injuries and carried off on a stretcher should of been the other clue that Sim‘S night should of been over for good.

 

[Chimp]

What I haven’t been able to get my head around for a long time is, blokes get put on report, particularly in cases where there’s an injury as a result of their action and there’s multiple replays for the bunker, and they get either 10 mins or put on report - yet then cop 2, 3, 4 week suspensions. Surely if an action is so serious that it is worthy of even a 1 week suspension, then it should be a send off?
Back in the day, you could only get a ban if you’d been sent off.
As with many other things, if the NRL just applied the rules as they were intended, the problem would disappear….. Serious act of foul play, send off…. Players would think twice about cannon balls, hip drops, crushers (the real ones) if they knew they’d get marched if caught. There needs to be an immediate sanction to stop it happening - the ability for the opposition to hand out immediate physical retribution would also help.

 

[roboshark]

See Annesley has come out and said Klein got it wrong and he should have been sent off

Lol. There is no bounds to Klein's nor the NRLs ineptitude. He will get game of the round next weej

 

[shadowboxer]

I particularly enjoyed later in the game when Hynes was running off with the ball but Klein called it back.
Sharks challenges successfully and you could hear Klein “I apologise for that one” to Hynes.
If it was play on, it was a pretty likely try.
