Should Slater miss the Grand Final for his shoulder charge?

[Frank Facer]

I think that he must be suspended from the Grand Final after shoulder charging the Cronulla winger. Rules are rules. lol

 

[Mickthedragon]

For sure, he should of been binned for using it to stop a try but alas the nrl and its refs will look after him and the storm. Its a joke.

Exactly it should have been a penalty try and sin bin.

 

[Prometheus]

Probably should have been a penalty try.

I did not have a problem with it and just saw it as a try saving effort.If he is missing a grand final for that the game is crazy.

It may be crazy, but those are the rules. I don't agree with the shoulder charge rule, as rugby league is collision sport.

I thought Mitchell was hard done by to miss this weeks game, but then after he got suspended, I thought Inglis was very lucky to escape with no penalty.

 

[TruSaint]

100% he should.
BUT he wont.

 

[Objective View]

He shouldn't get suspended but he will.

Seems so crazy but thems the rules.

On a side note, Flanagan will be devasted by this loss. Not so Mary, wins one semi and he's beaming ear to ear.

Why should he NOT be suspended ???

Can't be both

 

[dannyt]

But had to be one of them.

 

[possm]

Yes and I'm tired of the one rule for Melbourne and another for us.

 

[Saint Angelo]

It should have been a penalty try and 10 in the bin. If he doesn’t get suspended it’s just another reason why the crowds continue to drop.

 

[Old Timer]

Slater has always been a grub and pushed the rules to the limit.
This time he should definitely be outed for a deliberate shoulder charge which is foul play.

 

[Life's Good]

Whether it warrants suspension or not(I believe he should be)it won’t happen. You can bank on body movement experts, past footage & a 2nd shooter JFK theory to see him cleared.

Exactly, is it any wonder people have had enough. They cannot continue to just look after blokes because of their cinderella story crap. They make these rules, they have to abide by them.
Im not a fan of it either, i thought the rule change should of been for shoulder charges gone wrong, ie contact with the head etc. He hasn't got much choice in that situation but rules should be rules and besides that, he is a grub.

The review panel need to look at the incident without looking at the player involved and the knowledge that next week is the GF. If that criteria is applied, the Billy will be watching the game from the sideline.

Just remember Fritz got one week for accidentally touching the ref.

Once again we are in the hands of the NRL. Can we simply ask for consistency?

Cody Walker pushed Friz last week and also pushed the ref at the same time and is not suspended. It's laughable.

Tonight, one of the channel nine commentators said that Slater was the most popular player in the game.
