[Crush]

Whatever, it was given.
He’s a dragons.

Ravalawa banned for four matches; Taukeiaho cleared

Dragons winger Miakele Ravalawa has been banned for four matches after unsuccessfully challenging a shoulder charge citation while Roosters prop Siosiua Taukeiaho has been cleared of a grade one careless high tackle for his shot on Nathan Cleary in round 15.

Well here it is - guilty and 4 weeks ban. So unfair.

 

[Crush]

His career is done btw, he won’t make it back to previous form, poor bloke will be too paranoid to tackle now.
We need to look for a replacement.

 

[St Tangles]

What can they say ?

Plenty
Put out a statement that they are dissapointed and confused by the decision and lack of consistency from the NRL
Follow the Roosters lead

Will change nothing. Fans need to write to the NRL..or someone in the media and get them to explain how Kaufusi hits Norman in the Head...nothing...munster strikes out with his leg..nothing....

Let the Media embarrass them.... All we can do is cancel Foxtel and Kayo etc...

 

[Dragon David]

The panel made their decision of guilty after deliberating for 5 minutes while the Roosters player was found not guilty after 10 minutes of deliberation. What a joke. We just cannot win with these officials and Rava should appeal on the basis of discrimination as far as I am concerned.

Will change nothing.

Being complacent has done so much for us

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

And his forearm/head slam on the Parramatta player

Yep Ive watched it a dozen times and the Kaufusi incident on Ryan Matterson imo was one of the grubiest intentional acts you will see in the NRL..,should have been rubbed out for 6 weeks minimum....and then the "I was just trying to get to my feet" tripping charge....do they seriously believe we are all idiots...

 

[redv13]

f**king wow!!

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Guilty for a copy book tackle? Get farked! Just put a hanky in his pants and let Ravioli pull it out. He’d probably still be suspended somehow. Bunch of pricks

 

[Dragon David]

Does this mean that Rava has got to go to tackling classes for the next 4 rounds to learn the proper front on tackling techniques? I'm hoping this suspension does not impact on his ability to defend in future games and not tackle at all.

There is a big difference between us and the Roosters and Storm...One has news corp backing them and we know the other one...

 

[Ghostrider22]

How do you get justice in a kangaroo court when your dragon, too many biases in their panel.

 

[getsmarty]

We challenged the charge...club will more than likely put out a statement...doesn't change the inconsistencies....What 3 of our players have now copped over 4 weeks each....an absolute Rort....

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Its a shambles....more backtracking to come....Whats the odds Rava gets rubbed out again...its becoming a total farce.

If he doesn’t get rubbed out I will rub one out. I can’t wait to see he and Zac combine again.
Edit: I just seen the news, f$$$ me the NRL is losing me very fast.

 

[dragonfire]

the problem is there is no consistency. There is heaps of shoulder first contact where the defender doesnt wrap. It was a great tackle, of course you hit shoulder first and then wrap with arms, thats how you are meant to tackle. it doesn't meet the spirit of what shoulder charge they want to rub out of the game either

 

[st.phil]

Can you appeal? Not sure they still do that ?

 

[St Tangles]

Being complacent and not standing up for themselves is exactly why we are in this position

On our knees arched forward without lube

 

[SaintElroy]

An absolutely ludicrous suspension. In the day and age where they are cracking down on head shots, a classic tackle cops four weeks? If you don’t lead with the shoulder how do you tackle? Just with your arms? Anyone who’s played know what it’s like to play with arm grabbers. Put tags on their shorts and let’s say bye to rugby league

Atleast it highlights them
As a fan I want the club to stand up for itself and its players
We are seen as an easy target
