I TOLD ALL YOU MOTHERf**kERS!

Actually anyone who said 2-3 weeks would be more correct at this stage. If he fights it (and would anyone be surprised at the Donkeys fighting this right before the finals?) and does not get a downgrade he will get 3 weeks and you'll look like more of a fool than you already do.

so, Manly players basically gang rape Adam Blair and get 1 week and Thaiday gets 2 weeks. lame.

Haha...it's funny seeing dumb Queenslanders squeal when things don't go their way (and because they are too stupid to work out how the penalties are applied). Thaiday made a tackle that could have caused serious spinal injury. Foran and Robertson were charged by the match review committee for coming in to stop a fight (neither threw a punch). Brett Stewart got a grade 3 charge (325 points) which would have been 3 weeks except he got a 25% discount for early plea (which Thaiday will also get should he take the early plea) and a further 25% for 7 years+ with no judciary charges which Thaiday does not get because he has a history of being a dirty prick. Lussick got 4 weeks which was reduced to 3 with an early plea.

What Thaiday did was far more dangerous than what Brett Stewart did. You should be thankful that Thaiday isn't getting more.

I take from this that you have watched at most, two rugby league games in your life. Stewart's attempted decapitation was only less dangerous because the cross eyed genius missed. His action was deliberate but thankfully unsuccessful. Thaiday's was a tackle that went wrong. Not many Broncos fans out there saying that he shouldn't cop a suspension.

But plenty of Bronco fans loudly booing an injured player as he's being helped from the field..very classy !

FTR, I think the charge is fair, even if Thaiday clearly lets go of Kite before he hits the ground.

But the consistency of the MTR and Judiciary is flabbergasting...

Take the two and its see ya next year. Broncs will get pumped this week. Bow out the next. He'll have to fight it and hope for the downgrade.

I don't think comparing incidents helps, because the judiciary has shown consistency is virtually worthless in this day and age. O'Donnells tackle is the worst in recent memory and it was a f**king joke he only got 3 weeks, notwithstanding of course his disgraceful record at the judiciary. Thaiday's was worse than Uate's, he probably could have got a week, but he didn't have a record so I was fine with him not getting suspended. Thaiday's suspension is fair imo
