Should the Dogs be docked points?

[Danish]

No bottles hit and An official went to hospital this time, thats like saying someone was speeding on a road so you should charge them for murder. Both are bad but not the same action should be taken. Also some bottles were full today

also that + an unprovoked king hit = a loss of 2 points. The fans will get the message then.

Unprovoked king hit? Considering that the punch is not even confirmed yet you seem to know a lot about the details of it.

Throwing projectiles at referees should be the same punishment regardless. The intent is exactly the same. This isn't a criminal court here

id much rather see docked points for continuous or repeated 'dissent', which is what was showed by Graham and Klemmer towards the referees.

Would go a long way to seeing ugly scenes of players in refs faces yelling abuse which inturn angers fans and rises tempers.

I'm not saying Graham or Klemmers actions caused the actions of the fans because its hard to say if Graham and the dogs had shut their mouths and let the refs rule on the game the fans wouldn't have still reacted the same way.

But setting an example on the field towards the ref will go a long way to cutting this bullshit out of our game.

But not to award a penalties for incidents not worthy of being reported

Sorry, please define "worthy of being reported"?

 

[gronkathon]

Des insults refs > players insult refs > fans assault refs. Don't agree with "club shouldn't be punished" stance

Reports Reynolds is out for 4 months. Tell me again how it was no way a penalty?

Just because it was accidental doesn't mean it wasn't foul play. I bet McClean didn't mean to make McKinnon a paraplegic.

I'm shocked....not.

Strip them of all points up until round 15. Make it so they can't make the finals. Hurt the fans who caused this disgrace. The one team I refuse to go and see at night- Bulldogs

Ah the Kennel. Click here to view a classy bunch of fans expressing their humanistic views.

The follow through of an attempted charge down is just bad luck

Hey, if the on-field ref saw it then maybe you can argue it was a penalty, but he didn't.

Let's not forget Ennis dropping the f-bomb four times to Jason Robinson a few years back.

Dogs captains have form.

4 months that's Pretty much season over.

Graham should sit out the games Reynolds does.

and BMoz pulled his hammy chasing down a kick before fulltime, who should've been penalised then? :roll:

 

[Pugzley]

That tackle was diving at the legs and for a moment thought that Reynolds might have twisted his leg badly. Correct penalty. We don't want kickers fracturing their legs while punting the ball.

 

[Sphagnum]

I don't think a club should be punished because a couple of their fans acted like dickheads. Tough call at the end but that's what the refs are there for. Anyone having a sook just needs to get the f**k over it.

 

[cleary89]

Did someone commit foul play on bmoz? Someone kick him in the hammy? Or is it just dogs players kicking people in the face and diving at the kickers legs?

 

[seanoff]

Not the best reputation and now this.

They'll be lucky if the NRL dont take them to the cleaners. I suspect everything is on the table

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

NRL should force the Dogs to buy halves who have a clue in attack. How the Bunnies were even close enough for a penalty goal to be the difference in that game I'll never understand.

Reynolds may be out up to five months... But all Dogs fans are worried about are two points :roll:

 

[footy75]

No way should the dogs be penalised.
The bottle throwers should be charged by police.

Also why all the uproar about the penalty?? Reynolds is out for 4 fkn months... Rules like this are designed to protect players.... Blame Graham not the refs.

If the NRL are serious about this incident then they would move all of the Dogs home games to Alice Springs and do background checks on everyone who enters Traeger Park. It's the only way forward, without outright booting them from the comp. Which, I should add, is an option I also favour.

that would be an awfully stupid precedent to set.

Mclean would be suspended for the rest of his life.

have another XXXX and come up with another mind boggling suggestion.
