It's ok to kick the tackler

[larrycorowa]

What a nonesense decision. These guys have left themselves no room to move the next time it happens. What a bunch of nuffies.

A shocker by the judiciary. Deserved a week off.

 

[Tiger_Watto]

These idiots get upset when Big Mal calls them out for being inconsistant and biased…. The NRL might as well abolish the Panel for the rest of the year... They must think is 1981??!!!

It was a deliberate kick, he was even looking at what he was doing!

Not that being PAUL GALLEN would have anything to do with being let off…

it reminds me of -

Bryce gibbs - knees in the back - 4 weeks.

billy slater, Jarred Hayne, Cameron Smith, Whichever dragon it was on tuqiri in the major semi - Knees in the back - no case to answer for.

Have to say I'm a big fan of Gallen, but this definitely deserved three weeks on the sideline.

The rules and referees allow players to wrestle and lay all over the play the ball, there is no excuse for lashing out with the studs. How can you front the judiciary and argue that you lashed out at a defender for playing the game within the rules, and worse yet, how can the judiciary let you off?

This is dizzy stuff…

Jeremy Smith = Knees in back in 2010.

The Judiciary thing is strange.

We have a panel of former players vs Legal professionals.

Get rid of the lawyers and go with common sense.

 

[Centaur]

Common sense is not the answer.

Because then everyones excuse will be "it was just an accident, as if I meant to do that, use your common sense".

 

[Spartan117]

My point was that the two sides of the fence dont appear to be on the same level.

Is there a legal prosecutor?

Thanks for reminding me why I hate Luke Burt with a passion.

Deserved an oscar for that performance!! :imp: :imp:

 

[cunno]

They completely lack credibility I would say more but they might get upset!!

 

[LukeH]

They want him to power home and win the dally m player of the year. Otherwise he would've been smashed!!!

I thought it was worth a week at the very least.If nothing else it was careless.
