T'eos Tackle

[Packy]

After rewatching the tackle a few times I think the big concern is that first contact was Teo's shoulder on Groat's head.

Pretty much exactly what we don't want in the game. 3-4 weeks is probably just.

That is not what i meant. Intent and injury to a player should be taken into account. Not one or the other but both and. I agree Teo had no intent to concuss Groat, but in the end he did and now he has to face the consequences, even if they are harsh.

Pritchard concussed Simmons with a shoulder charge (he never returned) and only got a week with his carry over points he already had ...

its not just when other player who do similar tackles only get a week... i don't think too many people would have a problem if there was consistancy in the charging of players...

Broncos Te'o to miss two games

AAP Wed, Apr 11, 2012 - 8:55 PM





Brisbane back-rower Ben Te'o has avoided a four-match suspension after successfully having his grade three dangerous contact charge downgraded to a grade two at the NRL judiciary on Wednesday.
Te'o will now miss two matches instead of four.

Fair result, I'm happy with two weeks.

Don't cry about it Broncos. You won't miss him. You've go heaps to replace him, afterall you have the whole of QLD to pick players from.

Yeah, two weeks is fair enough if you only look at Te'o's tackle. When you compare it to Pritchard's though, it still seems a little unfair, but I can live with the result.
