Suliasi Vunivalu

I can't believe there are people actually defending this action.

The dope could have seriously injured the 2 defenders are well as himself. The roosters players had every right to hit him instead of pulling out which could have seen him land on the point of his head.

He should have got 2 weeks.

Well Jonah Lomu had the

Is this to be known as a Victorian side-step.

Victorian side-step
A term used in rugby league, when a player with the ball, instead of side-stepping OUT of contact, tries to jump knees first like a Victorian unco catching a ball through the defenders, at head height, usually resulting in all players, coaches, referees and spectators going, WTF was that? Traditionally seen as a bat shit crazy move, acceptable in Victoria, crazy everywhere else.

Benchwarmer #1: Holy shit, What the hell was that? he could have killed them blokes!
Benchwarmer #2: The Victorian side-step...

Ok so no one thinks he was trying to hurdle them?
He ran between the two players and not AT them.
Fine is sufficient and the Storm conspiracy theories are comical to say the least. Tall-poppy syndrome at it's best.

Precedent set: Flying knees at Smith, Slater and Cronk is OK.

It was a dumb move but he clearly wasn't trying to make contact with the defenders and nobody got hurt, so an on-field penalty and grade 1 contrary conduct charge is appropriate. What else are they going to charge him with?

Sally Pearson did the same thing several times over the weekend and they gave her a World Championship for it.

I don't think anyone wants him charged with murder, publically flogged or deported. The contact was up around the head(intentional or not). Swinging arms to the head(intentional or not)earn a spell on the sidelines so this should be no different.

I thought he deserved a week, but it's hard to judge because it was just so bizarre.

Hopefully he learns from this.

Vuni's fine was the same $ amount Lussick copped for pulling Woods hair weeks ago. NRL logic: flying knees = hair pull.

 

[slamminsam246]

Apologies. Vuni actually fined $250 LESS. Ffs what a joke

 

[GongPanther]

Should've did a somersault, would've been ok as his legs would've been well clear of the defenders.

Suppose the charge could've been headbutting then?

Can you sommersault near the tryline and over the players to score?

Now I betcha someone will try it in the finals.

 

[Apey]

It was the most pepper thing I've ever seen.

 

[Saxon]

Conspiracy?

The f**king idiot jumped knees first into the two blokes tackling him.
They did well to get out of the way.

Oh
And Ennis played him like freakin piano in the grand final.

It's was a masterclass in baiting the dumbest bloke on the field.
They should use the video as a training tool for all young players.

Yes, Ennis is certainly a master baiter.

Was pretty f**king funny though.

This is how it should be done.

Ha
Too funny
Classic

Unfortunately, that is pretty much the most impressive Bengals moment in the last 25 years.

Rugby league players aren't athletic enough to do that. Too one dimensional.

Shaggs, being a Cronulla supporter like myself, probably remembers that all too well.
