Anyone able to explain why Haas has been stood down for one game, meanwhile May has been charged with assault but is still playing?
One rule for them and another for the rest I see..

Haas has an impressive list of deadshit behaviour for someone so young. Tiny May's first offence

The kangaroo court that is the NRL has convened, and found Haas and Albert Kell guilty, and suspended them for one match. I disagree with this suspension, but I disagree with the Montoya one as well. The game is entirely dependent on the support of sponsors, and they pull the strings. If you want to pay double at the gate and double for your Foxtel/Kayo, and have twice as many ads on 9, maybe the game would not need to appease the great gods of political correctness quite so much.

Meanwhile Taylan May has been charged by police with assault, six months after the event. He's not yet guilty. His matter doesn't fit under the NRL's no fault stand down guidelines. There appears to be mitigating circumstances and it's before the courts. If he's found guilty I'm sure he'll get a sit down.

Because Haas is on his 3rd strike in 3 years.

Kelly seems to be the only one unfairly treated here.

Will never get why anyone would wear white shoes.

Just asking for them to get trashed.

can you explain why Milford who had his charges dropped hasn't been reinstated yet May who has charges hanging over his head is free to play?

No sorry. You'll have to ask Mr Abdo that one.

Ben Barba was kicked out of the game as well without being charged. I think the problem might be when your name keeps coming up.
