Anyway irrespective the rorters can belt the crap out of them with all the grubs available for selection. Then that nerd Hasler and their grub of supporters have no excuses.

I can only echo the comments of Garry W.

We had a player paralysed last year because win at all costs tactics were developed that, over time, were left unchecked by the judiciary and the refs.

You would have thought rugby league learned its lesson. But it hasn't.

It's not enough that Graham bit a player's ear in a grand final...broke another's leg this year...or that Eastwood is routinely ending people's seasons with his judo...now we have them savage Widdop, with his back turned and lying on the ground, and whose lucky not to have a serious issue on his hands.

So what's it going to take Todd & co? Do we need another catastrophic incident?

Just a disgrace.

IMO an absolute disgrace . Looks as if it was done on purpose and he could have pulled out. As for Eastwood, third time, no suspension. A joke the NRL. I hope the Roosters smash them.

What really pisses me off is that Kasiono moved both of his forearms in front of his chest and aims straight at widdops head. No accident here but apparently he has done nothing wrong by the NRL.

I'm actually dumbfounded... So there it is, kneeing a defenceless player in the back is perfectly fine. Precedent set. No shoulder charges though, they're too dangerous....

It would appear that throwing a plastic water bottle is more serious than kneeing a defenseless player in the back. I don't understand.

Where was this outrage in 2010 when Jeremy smith kneed Lote in the ribs? Lote actually left the field. Widdop got up and was fine.

Lote was falling in a tackle while Smith was coming across in cover to make a tackle. That was an accident.

Widdop was on the ground and not going anywhere.

Completely different.

Tod Greenberg's position should not be under estimated.

This is why we have struggled in the pass few years Doust the board the whole club in general have tried to play by the rules....most other clubs are rorting the system and getting away with it...Maybe we need to smarten up......

These guys have a fair rap sheet don't they.

Eastwood's put 3 guys out with that leg wrap tackle. James Graham put Adam Reynolds out for a couple of months with that charge down. Kasiano concussed Isaac Luke in that same game. And I held my breath when I saw Kasiano and Pritchard nail a defenceless Widdop.

I know it's tough game, but the Dogs do seem to inflict a lot more injuries on their opposition than other teams.

And I haven't even mentioned Graham almost biting Slaters ear off.
