Article on the foxsports website... "Rickertson saved by loophole" http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0,8659,10767086-23214,00.html

I believe the real wording goes something like this...

THE Sydney Roosters can thank a flaw in the system for Luke Ricketson avoiding a head slamming charge which would have threatened his involvement in the NRL finals series.

The flaw in the system involves the wording of the rules "...any player in a red, white and blue jersey shall never be found guilty because ..., well just because"

:roll:

And oh yeah, surprise surprise #2 - Steve Price got off....he obviously didn't strike Morrison - that was tomato sauce coming out of Morrison's nose.

:roll:

Actually yeah the Price thing may be a furffy.....Mrs Strider may have given me a bum steer there - said she saw it on the news break, but I can't see anything about it anywhere :oops:

I can - he's one of those very popular "oh he'd never do anything wrong" types that the judiciary loves to give a break.

Mind you I can't see ANY defense that says he never struck Morrison.

Well Ian Roberts is on the judiciary.......

Do you think Hoppa would've gotten off from his finger incedent if Roberts was on the panel that night ???

seriously tho, Price will get off by using the defence that Morrison is playing for Parra next year therefore he is an open target.

I'm surrpised Morrison didn't get cited for a headslam on Price due to intention to become an Eel.

if so, well you have definetly proved a worth point, Ian Roberts suspended Hoppa under house arrest at his place where Hoppa would practice his slow the play the ball technique on him

Funny you should mention that because thats what Folkes was referring to with his "There seems to be rules for some, rules for others."....he meant Morrison should have been cited for a head slam :roll: ....difference between what Morrison did and what Ricko did - Morrison had hold of Price's chest - Ricko had hold of the guys neck

The pretty boy was never going to be cited for the head slam.

They couldn't lose TWO players at the judiciary in a week.
