Burgess, Inglis, and Sutton all get to rest their bodies before what is shaping up to be a cracker Finals Series.

I'd be stoked if I was a Rabbitohs fan.

I'm trying to work out why he would go the squirrel on Chambers?

If you want to put a Melbourne player off their game, it's someone like Cronk or Smith. Trying to upset Chambers is kind of pointless.

Heard on the radio that any tackle where someone gets injured gets looked at by the MRC now

That's true. Was more meaning that Yobbo implied it was likely the media picked up on it and reported on it when they saw Chambers clutching his balls as opposed to them picking it up from here in this thread.

If they (the media) did pick it up from Chambers grabbing his wheels then you'd think they'd have reported on it the night it happened or even all day Saturday, not late yesterday/last night. It wouldn't be the first time they've run a story based of here or other RL fan sites and sure it won't be the last.

Maybe that can be our defence? It was an accident because he was supposed to do it to Smith :lol:

If he gets suspended, we will definitely miss him in those clutch situations.

So much for everyone saying that he has terrible ball handling skills.
He proved this on the weekend. If he had good ball handling skills, Chambers would have been smiling and smoking a cigarette instead.

if that is a grade 1 then I'd hate to see what a grade 5 squirrel grip must look like.

Would have to involve ripping them from the body and performing some sort of cheerleader-style pom pom routine

I think a Grade 5 contrary conduct is when you kill a man.

They clearly just want to be seen to be doing something, lay the charge though one that will give him the smallest possible punishment even with his ever growing list of grubby offences. Very lucky to get away with such a lenient grading/suspension.

Imagine if he gets another charge before the finals. with 5 past offences on his wrap sheet he'd only need to sneeze funny to pick up 3-4 weeks.

Simply pathetic. Chambers is a dog. The media witchhunt is disgusting.

News ltd are fixing an election and they are doing their best to rub us out of the premiership race because if we were to win it would humiliate them and prove everything they did to us from 99-01 was a catastrophic mistake.

Can you imagine if this was Slater, though?

"The match review committee have deemed that Billy Slater was simply checking the Souths player for testicular cancer, and has no case to answer."

That must be why the 2 biggest ARL powerhouse clubs who spearheaded the fight against News Ltd and super league are currently running 1st and 3rd
