This one is probably for my benefit anyway, so.....fine I'll comment.

One frame. That's it. I haven't heard it mentioned in the media this morning. Let's see if the NRL decide to lay a charge. I doubt it.

Although, it does remind me of something I saw Greg Inglis do in a game against Brisbane last year. A Broncos player was being held upright, by two Storm players. His arms were pinned. Inglis directed a shoulder charge to the players face. Then placed one hand on top of the players head, the other on his chin and twisted the head and neck.

It wasn't captured by a single frame photograph, but clearly on video. From memory it was this game that led the NRL to create new charges in relation to unnecessary contact with the head. Thus, probably the reason why he wasn't cited.

It is funny how a one frame photograph is enough evidence to convict a Storm player of wrongdoing but is misleading when when they are the victims.

The evidence is there on game days.

How is all this playing the pathetic victim working out for you ?

I am only trying to point out the hypocrisy I see when it comes to peoples reactions to a tackle which seems to correlate more to the team making the tackle than the tackle itself.
