Meanwhile Billy Slater shoulder-charged Dugan in the head AFTER he had kicked the ball. Then for his second act he dropped the elbow on the back of a prone player in goal.
Billy most certainly 'has form', and there is no doubt both plays deserve some scrutiny. Watch the MRC make a big deal out of Pauli Pauli so that they can pretend Billy did nothing wrong....

Billy is the poster child for form.....

Do you have an approximate time in the game when these incidents occurred, I'm not familiar with them.

Bryce shoulder charged radradra in the 80th minute on the first hit-up after sowie sealed the game for us. There was intent, cartwright never lifted his arms to make a tackle but because it was big man on big man nothing was said. No doubt if Pauli had done the same thing on sowie he would have laid down and played for the penalty.

Not sure on the segeyaro one but it was definitely first half. Just watch the entire first half again, it's a good one.

Wouldn't surprisee if Sowsrd plays next week, not sure I trust him collapsing- then coming back on . He had form for making sure any incident involving him that the video refs get s good look

The Cartwright one was nothing, not even a shoulder charge really. The impact was on the upper arms of both of them it appeared. None of the Parra players batted an eyelid. You know something is suspect when players rush in. I think sanity has finally prevailed with shoulder charges. When they go high, they are penalised, which is how it should be. You couldn't hurt Radradra with a sledgehammer.

I'm not going to watch the entire first half (which was pretty dire from my point of view) of that game again to look for some other mythical incident.

Pretty poor form to try to use such a nothing incident to justify your bloke's behaviour. You carry and support the behaviour of blokes like this, its not surprising you finish last so frequently despite cheating the cap.

Soward is injured. It would be a miracle for us if he played next week, but he does have to have scans to determine the extent of it. It's the same injury Robbie Farah has.

If you've really been been reading our forum, you'd know that we hate cheats. And if our club had been cheating, the place would be in meltdown. But what do you see? Business as usual. Put some effort in.

And I've gotta ask, why are you bothering to read an Eels forum?

He was injured in a legitimate tackle that just happened to be late. It was not high. There was no contact with the head or neck. Brush the sand out of your vagina and go back to the Panthers forum and whinge to them.

Exactly, fractionally late at best but a legal tackle otherwise. Penalty is enough and tbh panthers looked better without soward on so they should thank pauli

Shoulder charges are illegal - period.

So they should suspend Mau because Moylan got hurt in a legal tackle?

One of the stupidest things about the NRL is the linking of suspension to injury. Who cares if they got hurt or not? Was the play legal or not?

I have yet to see a player get suspended for a late tackle (that is not high etc). If Pauli gets in trouble, then every late tackle warrants suspension.

Pauli smashed Sowie in a legal albeit late tackle, What I don't get, is how is this not a good thing?

Not that I want to see Soward injured, but I sure as hell don't mind seeing him get smashed.

Rugby league is still a contact sport isn't it?

Too many sycophants carrying on about legitimate tackles that cause injury like the above halfwit. Injuries happen in contact sport. It's unfortunate. If they worried more about the wrestling techniques in tackles that are designed to injure and less about hard tackles the game would be better for it.

You don't remember Semi being smashed after he passed the ball to Robinson for a try and Semi was down for a while.......oh you don't because you only seem to remember the acting performance from Soward.

Pauli was committed but the funniest part is that they only show the replay in slow motion, watching it at full speed and it was only marginally late.

If he is suspended then it will prove that the MRC has reacted to the likes of Johns and Fittler......

A player getting hurt or not should be irrelevant. If a player gets picked up and pile driven head first in to the turf but is able to get up and play the ball, should the tackler/s not get penalised or suspended because the tackled player wasn't hurt? On the flip side, if an attacking player tackles a player in the air on a cross field kick, which is illegal, and the guy tackled in the air lands awkwardly and does an ACL, does that mean the guy making the tackle in the air should get rubbed out for a stint for something that is normally nothing more than a penalty??
