*Possible Spoiler* How long?

In all fairness Hindmarsh should be looking at a few weeks for his contribution to the tackle.

Although being a protected species, the thug will probably get off.

Also, it appears Gallen may just have talked his way into a deliberate high tackle charge if his comments to the referee are anything to go by:

Gallen had been put on report for a swinging arm tackle on Queensland forward Nate Myles and then bizarrely told referee Tony Archer as he pointed to a head cut from an earlier incident: ''I told you that I would get him back.''

only saving grace is he doesn't have his hand between his legs and Hindmarsh is involved. probably 2 weeks. Couldn't really see the headbutt as the replay they showed didn't show it, mind you the precendet has now been set that headbutting is not a serious offence so in theory he shouldn't get anything for it.

that would be a huge upgrade

Grade 1 intentional high tackle base charge 550 points

He'll get 3 weeks if he pleads guilty.

Not familiar with rules surrounding the lifting of knees in a tackle?

Are you aware of what the standard for knee lifting penalties/suspensions is? Your account says you've been here for years, but you honestly come across as someone who just picked up the game about a week ago.

 

[LESStar58]

does O'Donnell get for that incident? Thought he should've been sent off for that tackle alone, a shocker and genuinely dangerous. Grubby headbutt and punch as well. 5 weeks at least IMO.

At a minimum 6-8 weeks. At a maximum 12 weeks.

He should have bought a lottery ticket as soon as he was interchanged. Very, very, very, very lucky not to be given his marching orders. Disgusting tackle.

Watch the anti-rugby league bridgade get on their high horse re: the ensuing melee in the next few days as well.

3 weeks? Are you f**king kidding me? 3??!?!?!?!?!?!

The match review committee have f**king lost it. What a f**king disgrace they are.

It's now ok to spear tackle someone so badly that you can break their neck, headbutt a bloke and then king hit someone who is being held back by your teammates.

WHAT A f**kING JOKE!

Let's think rationally; Hindy's involvement in the tackle will probably form part of O'Donnell's defesne. He's a cto be called out for his part in cleanskin but watch for Hindmarsh to be called out for his involvement.

TBH I never thought I'd see the day Hindmarsh gets called on the carpet for involvement in such a sickening incident.

So it's okay to lift your knees into a tackle if you're wearing a maroon jersey? Are they these rules I suddenly don't know about?

 

[skeepe]

The match review committee have spoken.

That tackle by Luke O'Donnell was a grade 1 dangerous throw.
The deliberate headbutt with clear intent to injure by Luke O'Donnell was not a chargeable offence.
The king hit by Luke O'Donnell was not a chargeable offence.

The intention high tackle by Paul Gallen, who gave himself up and more or less admitted it was intentional, was a grade 1 careless high tackle, which will mean he is free to play this weekend.

Consistency is not a word the match review committee are familiar with.

Calm the f**k down and f**k off. You just won your fifth Origin series.

You only just figured this out...?

Seriously though, that was one of the worst spear tackles I have ever seen in my life. I'm absolutely astounded it wasn't at least a grade 3 or 4.

I've seen plenty of players given heftier sentences for far, far less.

:lol: your comprehension skills are terrible.

For the record I have absolutely no problem with O'Donnell being suspended, I most certainly believe he deserves a suspension, and it will remove him from the SOO3 equation.

I'm addressing you and your f**king idiocy about 16 weeks etc... he's been suspended, punished for his actions - and will miss a few weeks. No amount of rags that you go through whinging about it will change facts.

And if you expected any different from a bizarre judiciary and their inconsistency, you're even more delusional than I first thought.

Hindmarsh will be right

Hurt much ?

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

f**k skeepe, settle.

There was no hands inbetween the legs and there was no driving motion. He lifted way to high. IMO, worth a grade 2, 3 at max. 3 weeks is lucky IMO, the headbutt should have been charged as striking to IMO. 4 or 5 would do me fine.
