Heighington to miss a week

[baku]

Just wanted to see if anyone knows if he's been charged for any late/high shots from Friday nights game.

pulling at strings here, but the fact that he's off the ground may help…. (probably not)

 

[happy_tiger]

I'm more worried about the late hit on Prince personally .He had time to pull out Probably be two weeks if he has any carry over points imo

 

[Kul]

can we claim that Bird, in falling to the ground, forced Rhino to lift himself above the horizontal? If so, then Penalty Wests Tigers????

:crazy

We'll know on Monday.

Will miss Friday night unless he contests the grading and is succesful.

Even with an early plea it is one week

 

[happy_tiger]

Not good news Smeg But I guess that he is lucky he did not get charged for late tackle on Prince as well I thought that looked worse myself

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

What rubbish. Is Bird going to get suspended for bringing the game into disrepute?

If Bird didn't spill the claret it wouldn't have looked nearly as bad.

Doh! Not good if we're missing Heighno on Friday night.

 

[Centaur]

Careless high wasn't it? Rather than a dangerous throw?

 

[system]

Ahh my bad

 

[Geo]

Yes it was careless but grd 2…what a joke...

Should of hit him harder

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Haha, wondered how he could have copped a dangerous throw, considering he was the one in the air.

Wouldn't surprise me with the NRL to get it that wrong though…

Gee this is getting pretty dreadful :bawling Based on our injuries and the fact we are playing the team at the top of the ladder :bawling we may need a miracle this Friday, but as it's Good Friday, we may get that miracle :sign:

1 week for heighington, unless he gets off.

Nice. The best player from Friday night got charged. What's next? Benji getting suspended for punching that guy??

Wests Tigers lock-forward Chris Heighington will miss one week following a grade 2 careless high tackle charge, his penalty coming from a 36th minute high shot on Titans' five-eighth Greg Bird.

 

[Tigerdave]

damn….

 

[Blackpearl]

what a joke, bird was falling in the tackle and no was it a dangerous or careless tackle. perhaps they should also look at scott princes' attempts to con the ref's ( cheating really ! bringing game into disrepute ? ) by laying on the ground after putting up bomb after bomb as if he was being pole-axed by the tigers. had a bit of time for scotty but not any more.

 

[Flippedy]

Damn! We can't afford to lose another forward, we are already pushing the proverbial uphill! One can only hope that Fults is ready to fill in for Chris this week 😛ray:
