wow...seems excessive. The tackle really didn't look that bad

 

[slammingsam]

This all but confirms my long belief of an agenda.
Deadset if that tackle warrants 5 weeks than Sika Manu shouldnt play in the NRL for 2 years.

System obviously needs a big overhaul. Some insane decisions recently, not just this one.

 

[Galeforce]

what a joke , meathead consistency

 

[Eelectrica]

I'm no bunnies fan, but no way in hell did that tackle deserve 5 weeks.

In Uates tackle the guy landed on his neck. In DT's tackle the guy landed on his back. Worst case scenario for DT should have been a lvl 1 grading.

Disgraceful decision. It was more an accident than Uates.

I don't understand how a tackle that wasn't even penalized in a game, can be given a 5 week suspension, that bull shit. !!!!

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

5 weeks?
Really?
What is this trindall in 1999 or some shit?

 

[Paul Hewson]

I wouldn't had a problem had he received 2 weeks. But 5 weeks for that? How could they say that was a grade 2? The inconsistency at the judiciary is terrible.

 

[BunniesMan]

Awful. Someone on Twitter made the great point, 5 refs missed it, should they all get suspended too?

5 refs, at least 2 of which had a better view than any camera, thought nothing of it. Dave wasn't in the tackle by himself, there was no force in it, no injury, no penalty. And for it to get a grade 2? Completely ridiculous.

There is absolutely no precedence and no consistency in the NRL judiciary.

 

[Cryptic]

One of the game refs even stated it wasn't that bad and was accidental... Lucky the judicary know better... f**king joke of a system... Granted I must be based on our legal system, hence a rapist gets two years and a guy who holds up some petrol stations gets five...

 

[greenfins]

Absolute disgrace, should not have been a grade 2. I think the 5 weeks come about because of Taylor's loadings from previous visits.

 

[Cryptic]

It comes a bit from that but mainly because it's a grade two and he didn't put in an early guilty plee...

Still a complete joke... They are apparantly now grading them on their "posibility of injury"... How f**king geniused is that... Why not grade it on what it is then add in REDUCTIONS for the fact that no one got hurt...

 

[Paul Hewson]

5 weeks?
Really?
What is this trindall in 1999 or some shit?

Yeah Trindall copped 7 weeks in 99. For a tackle that wasn't seen by anyone. Apparently someone sent in the footage of the tackle.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

Outrageous. Absolutely outrageous.

 

[2010Dragons]

does NOT deserve 5 weeks....once again the bunnies are cheated.

 

[Ziggy the God]

does NOT deserve 5 weeks....once again the bunnies are cheated.

All I know is that I am shattered by this decision.

The judiciary has shown no consistency again, and that is all we are after.

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

Should have been rubbed out of the game for life for that tackle, not just 5 weeks, Judiciary needs an overhaul...

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

Unbelievable decision,when will Richo release a statement?
