Bad call, definitely deserved at least a week.

Back to the usual piss weak performance from the judiciary after they decided to get their act together for Taylor.

He's very lucky. I have no idea how you can stomp a defender intentionally and get nothing for it. Should have been rubbed out for the last 4 weeks of the season for a blatant dog act. But there you have it, Slater got 7 for stomping the head when he had a clean record, Gallen gets nothing for stomping the chest with a poor record. I guess stomping is okay if you miss the head.

Love his line 'but Duges got away with it'.
Was a piss poor act by Gallen who had seemed to clean his act up lately.
Ah well leopard, spots etc.

Gallen could pull out a gun and shoot someone on the field and would still get off. And have a whinge about why he was even charged.

Total BS

well not really.. there is still one massive question that has gone unanswered..

what is the penalty for beau henry's headbutt to gallen's foot?
I was just thinking something along these lines.

Its very dangerous for a player to place himself under the foot/ankle of someone trying to play the ball. If Gallen had've tried the put much weight on his foot as Henry moved his shoulder under it, Gallen could've seriously injured his foot/ankle and spent a lenghty recovery period out of the game. Which would've diminished Rugby League in general.

I'd even go further to say that this "Worm" style of tackle which most likely originated in Melbourne, where a player squirms around on the ground and worms his way under the play the ball, should be banned altogether to avoid injury to the player playing the ball.

Honestly i think its dangerous for players to try and tackle Gallen, they should rub this disgraceful behaviour out of the game before someone is seriously injured.

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.

Justice for the King of Rugby League

Justice........pffft!

What a load of shit. If you didn't have your head so far up Paul Gallen's arse

and if you were being honest

You would have to admit that Gallen deserved to get "some" time off for what was a pretty blatant foul.

I find it a rather incredulous decision, especially in light of Dave Taylors 5 match suspension that took him out of SOO 3.

The MRC have no credibility and should be disbanded.

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.

Well if we're going to use the extremities.........

a kick to the head could put someone in a coma or inflict permanent brain damage

a spear tackle could make someone a paraplegic

Coma V paraplegic .......both pretty sh*tty outcomes.

Taylor gets 5 weeks

Gallen gets nothing.......

Gallen didn't contact the head - he contacted the shoulder
