Judiciary Report: Hastings, Wilton facing bans from Round 2​

AuthorNRL.comTimestampMon 21 Mar 2022, 09:54 AM

​

Wests Tigers playmaker Jackson Hastings is facing two weeks on the sidelines after he was charged with a Grade 2 Dangerous Throw in his side's loss to Newcastle on the weekend.
As it is his first offence for the season, Hastings will miss two matches with an early guilty plea or three matches if he is found guilty at the judiciary panel.

Teammate Joe Ofahengaue was also cited for a dangerous throw, but his grade one charge will see him face just a monetary fine.

Wow

No doubt it was a clumsy tackle.. not sure it's worth 2 weeks given you just get a measly fine for a cannonball these days

Would challenge the Grading for sure..

 

[Demps]

Embarrassment if he misses two weeks.

What a joke.

What a joke.

He deserves 2 weeks imo but i just want to see consistency from the MRC and referees but with the people in charge that will not happen afaic.There is a very large stench of favouritism in the system.

The things players do to get out of playing for Wests

Disagree.

Didn't drop the player on his head.
Lifted, yeah but put down as gently as possibly...

2 weeks ? Lol no chance.

I wish they would suspend the whole team for impersonating NRL players & bringing the game into disrepute.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

That sums up this season already.
Madden gets a few games to shine and take the 7 spot away from Brooks.

To impersonate an NRL player they would need to act like one. I didn't see any acting.

Here's today's latest:

Jake Simpkin (Tigers)

Grade 1 Crusher Tackle

$1500 - $2000 fine

PS another disgraceful proof of the inept refereeing last night - how many other Wests Tigers players were placed on report - to come to nothing??

Yep. Looking at the smallest issues, not the actual game 🚬

When Seyfarth was put on report lol, what a joke

I see big Nelson Arsehola-Amona is going to cop a fine for attempting to take a blokes head off..

Well played NRL judiciary..

Haven't seen it, but unsurprised.

Simpkin can consider himself lucky as well.

Have Barnett and Smith been fawning over each other on social media yet?

 

[Needaname]

Barnett. 6 weeks.
Fair?

 

[supercoach]

6 weeks for a ugly cheap shot and Hastings gets 3 for a tackle that went wrong with no malice. You have to scratch your head.
Although the NRL set the bar with Trell, that is now the bench mark for dog acts

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Barnett. 6 weeks.
Fair?

Judiciary is useless. How was that not 8-10?
Extremely lucky tho to only get six

The defences argument was that it was guilty of being careless but in no way was what he did reckless or intentional.
He argued (or his well paid lawyer did) that the plan was to ‘check and release’ (almost brace for a collision, protecting yourself in a way that you have the momentum to continue forward across field to the next play) the bit he got wrong was he was planning to hit him with his elbow and forearm flat along the chest and sort of absorb the contact and push off in sense, anyway due to the timing of the runner just coming into his vision last minute he made a mistake as to where he put his elbow.
However they maintained that contact was first on the chest and the momentum carried the elbow up and through to the neck.
