See ya Slater

Hahahahaha the NRL are such a farce. Glad the Roosters are on the receiving end of it, however. #StillSalty

Oh well evens it up after Friends attempted spear tackle

On the other hand Great to see the best players will be playing the GF

 

[Foreign Legion]

It was a shoulder charge... no ifs no buts about it hope he gets the snot beaten out of him this weekend go ROOSTERS!

 

[Reflector]

Shoulder charges galore this weekend- massive target on Billy now...

 

[Saxon]

Hope JWH ends the merkins career in the 10th minute

Typical rooters scum response.

 

[roostersrule2]

Like he ended Buderus's career with a raised elbow that was way worse than this shoulder charge. I'm sure you were so black and white on the rules back then.

Elbow was North-South not East-West which is perfectly legal

So yeah I was black on white on the rules

 

[Timbo]

Just f**king disgusting.

How many times must this sport emphasise that the individual is bigger than the game?

 

[Life's Good]

Cheating the rules one last time

There’s still Sunday though.

 

[Lebbo73]

If it was a NSW player you would be calling for his blood

I didn’t want Hayne suspended and he was guilty as f**k for kneeing the tryscorer in the 2009 prelim.

 

[footy75]

Common sense prevails. no one should miss a GF for that.

 

[Barkley]

Hopefully napa buries his shoulder in to billy on his first touch of the ball.

On a side note, surely this has drummed up some good old fashioned bandwagon support for the pride of sydney this week?

Napa is a smart guy...he will use his head.

Save me a seat on the wagon.

So once again, similar to Mick Ennis, the shoulder charge goes away at the business end of the season when a glamour boy does one. Let me guess, they'll say it was a technicality and will be addressed in the offseason.

 

[lazza]

Billy will play dirty in the GF with no fear if he’s suspended or put on report

Or getting injured - hope he does an ACL

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Decided to edit, I'm on my last chance.

 

[Johns Magic]

Elbow was North-South not East-West which is perfectly legal

So yeah I was black on white on the rules

Are you crying right now?

 

[Matt23]

I'm ok with this if they finally fix the shoulder charge rule, penalty/report if contact is made to the head.

 

[Springs09]

The thing is now, since the charge could not be downgraded and he was found not guilty, it means that tackle that Slater did is not a shoulder charge, by definition. It can not be charged or even penalised anymore. Slater's tackle is now legal and any other player can use it, no matter how heavy the impact is.

 

[LineBall]

The sooking in here will be epic.

 

[lazza]

How did he get off? What did he do to make it not a shoulder charge?

 

[roostersrule2]

Are you crying right now?

Am I coming 11th right now?
