And exactly how many other times has he been in trouble with the NRL previous to that tackle??? :arrow:Thunderstruck said:Clint's good record? :lol: Didn't he get 11 weeks for smashing Ashton Simms' jaw last year?
Dodger said:Wow, what a convincing argument.

I've been hightackled with a swinging arm and it can be compared to a punch to the head.. no permanent damage, a bit of dizzyness most likely. Worse scenario is a broken jaw.
I've been spear tackled once and I felt my whole spine compress it was the scariest thing I've ever felt. My neck now also has some left over scar tissue in there which I'm glad doesnt hinder performance. It could EASILY snap someones neck and cause permanent damage. 1 week is such a joke. I honestly don't think the judicary realise the seriousness of spear tackles and how easily they can severly injure someones neck.
I'd rather get high tackled 10 times around the chin than spear tackled as I know I'll atleast be guarenteed recovery.

You dont get in as much trouble for ALMOST shooting someone then you would FOR shooting someone.
Jobdog said:Neither were good, surprised at the amount of time either player will get for their troubles. Clint will get one week if he enteres an early plea because of carry over points from his previous offence. If they go down there and fight it and beat it, then good luck to them, that means he can give Terry a spray on Sunday arvo, or even better, just let his footy do the talking. It would be great to see Clint run over the top of Terry if he beats the charge.
I thought it would've been obvious to you that they weren't after the Webcke incident.ozzy_ozman said:and i thought the NRL will get tough on the spear tackles after the Jarrod McCracken incident in 2000...
