Thurston charged

[CowMan]

he has to fight it, they have no choice

they couldn't win a game of marbles without him

Apparently carl webb is good @ marbles

 

[jimmyo]

This is rubbish he'll get off.

 

[Shorty]

What a f**king joke.

 

[Dogaholic]

He will get away with it. Then he will have a whinge about something

 

[Dogaholic]

meh

This is f*cked

Our whole season possibly gone because of this. If it was worthy of missing a week then fair enough, but come on.. there wasn't much in that one at all.

Except for putting a player in a position that could could have ended in a neck injury. You are right though. Nothing in it.

 

[Eelectrica]

Hope he fights and wins.
The NRL can't ruin a finals game on an innocous tackle like that.

 

[Shorty]

For good reason,it wasn't worth a look at.

 

[Jordan]

I've seen spear tackles worthy of missing a sudden death final over and that was not one of them.

 

[Shorty]

Exactly.

You just watch them, joke of a charge :roll:

 

[Joe Davola]

The Big Question is whether or not Geoff Bellew, a Manly Leagues Club Director, will defend Thurston at the Judiciary as he has does for other Cowboys this year ?

 

[Dogaholic]

For good reason,it wasn't worth a look at.

It's a spear tackle. It's Dangerous. 1-2 weeks. Anything less will be a joke.

 

[Martli]

I hope like hell he plays. Didn't think there was much in it to be honest.

 

[Danish]

There is no way known that Thurston will be charged for that tackle, the NRL simply will not allow it.

In saying that, there is no question as to whether or not it is a chargeable offence. Its a textbook example of what a grade 1 careless looks like.

:edit: didnt read the whole thread :lol:


I am very surprised that the NRL judged the tackle on its merits rather than on the situation at hand. Bravo

 

[Dummy Spit Johns]

He won't get off. This has played straight into the powers that be hands.

NRL need a Sydney team in the GF, now obviously Manly.
Can't have a bunch of Nevilles from NQ winning can we.

Imagine the nightmare if NQ had to play melbourne at Telstra, Scalpers will lose their jobs!

 

[B-Tron 3000]

I get the feeling that after Ryan and SBW got their charges ridiculously overturned the NRL will be under more pressure than ever to show that they don't favour the big players.

He's in trouble.

 

[El Diablo]

Hope he fights and wins.

there was nothing innocuous about it and players have been getting suspended for less]

Bowman got a week when he fought a dangerous throw that was nowhere near as bad as Thurston's

he has been charged

 

[Generalzod]

If Thurston does gets suspended then NRL are truly a joke of an organisation....An easy ride for Manly to the Grand Final.

Do you get the feeling thats what the powers that be want?
