Will be the first serious test of the shoulder charge crack down. May not have been overly malicious in its intent but geez, he made a real mess of poor Ray Thompson's jaw.

Pritchard's one on Friday night was considerably worse but as he didn;t break the guys jaw he'll probably get off scot free.
No idea what Snowden will get but Ray Thompson will be on a liquid diet for many weeks to come :frowning:
 
I would say about 5 week's because he got sent…..and broke the guy's jaw if those 2 things didn't happen he would of got 0-1 week
 
Pretty sure Matt Prior got like 5 weeks for a hit on Thurston a year or two ago. Burns got like 12 weeks or was it 18? or something crazy like that. I suspect an 8 week minimum will be the go.

Edit: burns got 9 weeks for his shoulder charge, but got an additional three for a chicken wing tackle (that's why I was thinking 12).

what happened to Travis Burns?

he killed it at Manly, I thought he'd go alright elsewhere but he stunk at N.Qld

I saw the Exiles v England game earlier this year and didn't even notice him

banned for 12 weeks which pretty much ended his NRL career.
9 weeks - shoulder charge on martin kennedy
3 weeks - chicken wing tackle

No sorry, but fox sports news will be running it every 30\. As I said originally, the tackle itself didn't look very malicious or intentional but because he broke the kids jaw and left him pouring buckets of blood he'll probably cop a long stint for that alone.

Not that I agree and it's one of my pet hates - punish the action, not the result.

I thought Snowden was unlucky (even more so Thompson) but Snowden really was only bracing himself, there was very little force, Snowden wasnt moving forward if he was it wasnt much, the arm wasnt tucked in in a classic shoulder charge action, just a very bad accident

but as they say, contact with the head was made, the send off itself was quite a penalty to the Knights, maybe one or two weeks off, but if they let him off I wouldnt complain.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong , but I'm sure Burns almost ended up at the Tigers and when we lost out on Burns we grabbed Rob Lui
 
Pritchard will probably cop more just because it's big Frank! I would say 4-5 weeks. He doesn't apply to the protected species group, like Billy Slaters head high shoulder charge on Winterstein that concussed the poor guy! It's appalling how inconsistent they are.

Snowden will get 10 weeks IMO. The tackle really wasn't savage but some major damage was done so the judiciary will definately take that into account and from memory Snowden does have a bit of a history at the judiciary.
If the NRL had showed some balls and come down heavy on Inglis after his hit on Dean Young then this whole shoulder charge debacle would never have been an issue. Inglis' hit was 10 times worse than Snowden's (minus the broken jaw) but because he is a golden boy he got off lightly.
 
7 weeks is way overboard in my opinion

He isn't even looking at Thompson when he makes the hit , 4 weeks worst case in my opinion

Was thinking of putting a lazy redback on the Cowboys @ $67 to win the premiership until Thompson was injured
