Please go and read the live blog, its actually disgusting the amount of BS they said, really, go and read it.

Defence says whatever they believe would help get their client off. Shock f**king horror.

Happy for Billy, getting to play his last game in a GF, however the NRL are a bunch of armatures leaving most people fed up with their incompetence on all levels.

Billy should have been binned for 10 and this whole charade would have been avoided.

Even the refs are scared of the NRL’s incompetence

The potential for injury to the defender in this ''tackle'' was huge. Shoulder charges have very little control and very high potential to go wrong.

The crazy thing about this is if Feki had suffered an injury (small or large) from this ''tackle'', billy gets off still.

That is absurd.

Clutching at straws mate haha

A roosters ex captain was part of a judiciary that ruled not guilty.

Come off it. Guilty as guilty gets, but should have been in the bin rather than this whole crap-a-thon

Maybe you should google the circumstances by which that ex-captain left the roosters before you assume that he would want to help us

f**king lol.

So are you saying every single defence attorney in history has told the truth whilst trying to get their client off.

Guarantee if it was Gal in Billys place last night you wouldn't be able to get on your knees in front of the lawyer quick enough.

Not at all.

Haha unlike some, I am able to remove myself from that kind of bias. I call what I see.

Geez....

"A married man showing his donger to someone in a private consensual act brings the game into disrepute!"

"Souffs people on the NRL led investigation covered up what Sam Burgess did!"

"Dallas Johnson might be on the panel and that's unfair because he played with Billy Slater!"

"Sean Garlick was on the panel and that's unfair because even though he played for us he hates us!"

"The judiciary hates us!"

"The referees hate us!"

"The NRL hates us!"

Thank f**k for Roosters fans now that Alex Jones has been kicked off the internet. Very entertaining.

Once they cited him they should have suspended him. It should not matter if its your first or last game, a media hero or a nobody.

But I have seen that sort of defence occur against wingers nearly every week. while I believe its a penalty (and a citing) by the rules, precedence shows that its never penalised and in terms of consistency he should not have been cited to start with.

Was it even a penalty?

 

[Life's Good]

I listened to Paul Conlon on 2KY this morning and he suggested that the acquittal was based on not enough evidence to determine 'unreasonable risk of injury'. Essentially, it wasn't clear enough/proven that damage(head clash, whiplash etc.) would have been caused by the tackle which left the door open for a not guilty verdict.
Anyway, unless the deliberations that led to the outcome are made public, we will never really know.

 

[myrrh ken]

Yeah we got the ball back.

Would love someone to explain why it wasn't a penalty try. There was no doubt Feki would have touched down if not for the shoulder barge.

100% agree, should have been dealt with appropriately on field.

Just overheard two people in my office discussing it. f**k their logic made me angry, and their logic seems to line up with Nine’s and the rest of the media:

‘He shouldn’t be suspended - a legend shouldn’t miss his last game. I get that it was technically illegal, but come on, what else could he do? Just let him score? Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. As if you should suspend someone just because they shoulder charge stopping a try’.

Oh ok then. So you can do whatever you want if you’re (a) a ‘legend’ and (b) stopping a try. In that case the Roosters should send Cooper Cronk out there with a machine gun on Sunday. As long as he only uses it to shoot people in the act of scoring a try, there’s no issue. He’s a ‘legend’ after all.

f**k me.

I heard a cracker

He shouldn’t be suspended because he is married and speaks well and hasn’t had off feild issues.

Ha

That is the problem with terrible commentary by Gould, Johns (at times) and Wally. People honestly believe because they say it means it is fact when in reality it isn’t.

This is a massive issue. It was even worse on the CH9 cricket commentary, thank f**k they lost the coverage.

I really don't understand how people cannot understand that if a player is unable to get to a player in time to stop a try, this does not mean you are then allowed to break the rules in order to stop the try being scored.

What is he to do? Just let him score?
Ummm well yes, that is the game!!!!!!!!!!!

My mind boggles.
