See ya Slater

[Willie Ray]

Billy will get off scot free...the judiciary will apologize for wasting his valuable time and he will be given
"The Best Defendant Of The Year Award."

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Right arms wrapped around him, no charge

Yeh go have another drink you goose

 

[carcharias]

He’s gone
Hilarious

 

[t-ba]

Hopefully he gets suspended and enjoys it as much as Cam did in 2008.

But we all know he won't be.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Nines got his defense.
Right arm coming up.

None of them saw Sharks save a try using there hands to push them out???

John's says you should be able to do anything to stop a try.
Dragons did 99 Grand Final. Doesn't quite work that way.

Looks like I'm alone in this, but I genuinely dont think the intent of banning the shoulder charge was to prevent collisions like this.

The best option if you're Billy Slater is to collide with the player who is close to the sideline and take him out in a quick and effective manner. Billy did that and also braces his arm to push the winger out after the collision.

Unfortunately by the letter of the law it's a shoulder charge, but the rules have not incorporated common sense

Should have only banned it when attacking the head. It's Cronulla' fault anyway. Wade graham on broncs fullback in goal started the ball rolling years ago

Holy shit well done, Who'd the Pirates beat tonight?

Eigth what?

 

[GongPanther]

da fuq you smoking

He smoke dem Cuban blue vein cigars.

 

[smi962]

Whare got cleared for that hit.....and that was a full on shoulder charge. Billy's was a very side on hit. What was Slater supposed to do? ....let him run and score?

Clear him to play.

Isn't that a shoulder charge, and aren't shoulder charges banned?
The room is spinning.

 

[GongPanther]

once a grub, always a grub

Mal Meninga is a f**kwit

The laughable thing is,if Meninga ran to be premier of Qld,he would win it in a landslide. King Of The Idiots.

 

[mozza91]

Should he be suspended? Absolutely.
Will he get suspended?
Not a chance.

After Hodges a couple of years ago it’s obvious they’ll do anything to get their favourites to play, regardless of what they’ve done.

 

[cain3y]

There is no way the nrl won't let Slater off to play his last game of his career. If Billy can kick people in the face by accident and not get charged he can shoulder charge too, by accident

 

[Valheru]

According to commentators he can't be suspended because everyone wants him to play next week.

Well i want latrell and napa to play tomorrow.

Agreed, suspension in this instance is weak shit
