Their was no spear tackle.Preniers said:Well the obvious solution now is to commit the same spear tackle on Thurston on Saturday. Obviously tackles that risk sending a player off in a stretcher only warrant a penalty.
Bazal said:What the hell? According to his defence, Thursty has fractures in both shoulders and can't lift...Funny that Koopu got driven into the dirt by a guy that can't lift
Clock watcher said:Non one is suprised by the decision, Daly M player of the year News Limited owned club and certain panel members not allowed to be used in preference for Sympathetic ones.
This decision was always going to happen!
KARMA however is a horrible thing!!!!

Iafeta said:LOL - that's the biggest crock of sh!t ever. Take Simon Woolford's crazy suspension a couple of seasons ago, if Billy Slater's momentum being killed did NOT affect the result of the tackle more than the technique of the tackle itself, I'll scuba dive in a pool of urine. When have they come up with this definition of the ruling, because this is not the way it has been applied in the past. The old "past the horizontal" "dangerous end position" lines have been trotted out with monotony from the NRL, not the tackle technique nor the intent of the tackler. They were apparently placing more responsibility on the defender, until tonight.
Azkatro said:Dunno why it was charged in the first place. Archer never even put it on report.
