The Grubs Return

[Mr Angry]

Well I have no issue that a kick gets less than a spear tackle. This is the right result, regardless of who did it.

The fact Gallen does this pisses me off no end.

 

[user_nat]

So you consider a kick to head worse than putting someone in a wheelchair?

I do agree, Gallen needed to be punished, however a spear tackle is much much worse.

I'd agree, but Taylor's tackle wasn't bad or deliberate.
It was against my team and I think that.

So in my opinion: Gallen's kick was worse than Taylor's tackle and should have been punished. Most people argue that Taylor did deserve some punishment due to having a history and I think the same goes for Gallen.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Wipe away those tears princess

Have a look at the competition ladder and where you club is coming

...........who's crying? :lol: :lol:

If you can't admit that your hero deserved to get some form of punishment

then you're a waste of bandwidth.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Brides of Gallen united and will never be defeated. Not in this thread anyway.

That's all I'm really saying Angry ...........the dirty merkin should have got at the least 2 weeks, instead he gets nothing

Taylor should have got 2....maybe 3 weeks, instead he got 5

The inconsistency with the MRC is beyond pathetic.

 

[carcharias]

not guilty.

 

[Mr Fourex]

not guilty.

There will be a next time ............;-)

 

[Nice Beaver]

Spot on.........the king of grubs gets nothing for, looking back at Henry

lining him up

and purposefully lashing out at him with his boot.

The MRC are a complete f*cking joke.

Funny how Qlders conveniently forget Jonathan Thurston's boot to the head of David Williams in SOO.
Where were the indignant cries of outrage then? Was pretty fair evidence of the act given the fractured eye socket.
Oh hang on, he's a Queenslander. Only pull out the "they're all out to get us" crap when it suits.:roll:

LoL at your ladder reference - has absolutely nothing to do with this thread.

Gallen got put on report cos he is Gallen. He has a history of being out on report and subsequently cleared by the judiciary cos refs are pussies.
He used the defense that his accidental kick did zero damage and Dugans accidental kick did alot of damage. Yet Gallen was put on report and Dugan was not.
He was rightfully cleared based on that.

Id rather be paralysed then turn into a vegetable.

Different intents.

JT stuck the foot out to stop the try, the contact to Williams was accidental and he was sufficiently penalised.

Gallen lashed out in a tackle and made deliberate contact with the boot.

You're missing the real positive here Fourex. At least I can put Gal in my Fantasy NRL side this weekend now!

 

[Mr Fourex]

Gallen got put on report cos he is Gallen.

No.......if you dare to look at the replay, you can quite clearly see Gallen turn back and look at Henry

take aim

and kick out at him.

That's the reason he was put on report. It was a purposeful act and how you, or the MRC or anybody else for that matter can agree that it was accidental is beyond belief and can't be taken seriously

If Gallens aim had of hit it's intended mark ie: Beau Henry's face, you'd still be in here defending him.

Dave Taylor is the pin up boy for academia in QLD. No wonder the heathens are crying that a scholar such as Dave gets 5 weeks.

Which is classed as dangerous conduct. There was uproar about this sort of tactic after Slater kept doing it and it was broght to a head in the GF when Manly won. A clear precedent was set by the NRL that it was not on to lead with the boot or legs when attempting to stop a try.
Getting off topic anyway. My point was that he attacked a players head with his boot (intentionally or unintentionally) and no citing was made.
Can't have it both ways.

If you actually think Gallen meant to hit Henry in the face then I fear for your mental state.
Remember, it was Gallen not some dirty lowlife like Cameron Smith.

Oh I know who Paul Gallen is.........

He's the dirty grub who stands on players hands, tears at players stitches, continually tries to choke the player on the ground with the use of his forearm, commits numerous amounts of cheap high shots........

oh ........and urinates on sleeping team mates

Yes........I think Paul Gallen tried to kick Beau Henry in the face.

It's in his nature.

 

[DJShaksta]

Tell the truth now - you quiver in fear when the tv camera zooms in on him don't you.

Thurston was cited with a Grade 1 Dangerous Contact charge though and plead guilty.

And I know it's illegal, but the cases are quite different and a correlation can't be really drawn. Different circumstances and heck, different levels too. It's no secret that the judiciary are far more leniant towards Origin games than regular NRL games. Which is why Lockyer wasn't charged or the jumping high tackle from Gallen. That last example should hose down any thought that Gallen is targetted by the judiciary, if he really was, he'd be charged with a lot more than he already is.

And hey, this decision actually benefits me (and just about everybody) as I have Gallen in my fantasy team, but, the judiciary went out of their way to say they were going to take a more critical approach following the Taylor charge and it appears they've gone really soft here.

Who is Dave Taylor? Any relation to Big Dave Taylor? The only bloke I know from QLD who got 5 weeks recently is Big Dave Taylor. You know that Souths player Big Dave Taylor?

On topic, I reckon Gallen meant to kick him. I dunno if he wanted to get him in the face or anything but I think there was intent there.
