But seriously, you cant complain if you get let off a few weeks ago for a high shot. Simple solution for sam is, you arnt subjected to shit decision's if you arnt a grub

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter

Most people in know are aware of the reason why Sammy pulled Billy Smiths hair. Instead he should have legally hammered him in a tackle like Cam Murray did.
This tweet is like a Buzz Rothfi8eld spotted article.

Lots of words but zero f**king content.

I thought........

1) NRL media raised many questions on the judiciary process already
2) the inconsistencies of MRC is clear to be seen, Sam just stated the obvious
3) James Graham talked about "blowing up" the process
4) Roosters coach talked about "trial by media"

I know
Sam was charged with Grade 2 elbow to throat of defender last year and missed two games.two weeks ago rooster captain did the same to Adam Reynolds, no penalty , no MRC issue and Adam Reynolds was forced off the field.

Why is Sam the only one on trial again here?
i don't think that the 'trial by media' comment from Trent Robinson applies criticises the judiciary , rather noting how already the media were scrutinizing the incident

Speaking of Cam Murray, where was he last Friday night? He was as invisible as Sam Burgess.

I do not care if he had 86 priors, pulling hair is a penalty nothing more.

Does Sam get a week next time he is off side? Strips with two in the tackle?

f**king penalty sufficent.

NRL brings this shyte on itself, Maude Flanders runs the citing system.

I see hair pulling as similar to the old finger in the bum. It is a dirty tactic that serves no purpose other than to get a reaction from the victim. It’s not a good look and should not be part of the game.

We were all outraged about Cam Smiths ‘rubbish on the face’ why are so many defending hair pulling?

Yeah, crappy tactics, but penalty sufficent. Coach would be pissed.

Just increase the fines for these one and two game bans. $5k first charge then increase $5k every subsequent charge. I can guarantee by the time players are getting to $30k+ they will cut the sht out! Save bans for the really serious stuff.

Happy to just up the ante on the shit stuff.

Gouging 20 weeks or more as it's quite disgusting.

Tripping 1-2 weeks. Use your arms, morons.

Hair pulling 1 week. Yes, you miss the grand final if you are thick enough to do it. Us poor fans!

No f**king letters or show cause bullshit. Suspend suspend suspend or at least get the fines going and make some $$$.

You can debate what punishment is sufficient. But there is however a subtle difference:

You can be offside by mistake...but you don't pull someone's hair or grab their testicles by mistake. That crap has no place on the field.

Oh, and you don't rubbish on the face by mistake either. I'm looking at you Cam.
