How gauche, to be made to feel we are just a skin tag on the NRL hippo's butt lol.

Just watch out for that flicking tail!

Summary of reasons for the decision
Judiciary Chair, The Honourable Geoffrey Bellew AM SC said in his summary of reasons that the panel felt there were four factors which supported the conclusion that a Grade 1 was appropriate.

The first was that player Cleary had initially planted his feetprior to making contact.
The second was that on the Panel’s analysis of the footage, any upward trajectory on the part of player Cleary occurred after contact had been made with the ball carrier.
Thirdly, the Panel considered that the ball carrierjuggled the ball and simultaneously lowered his body heightshortly before contact was made, which had the effect of significantly altering the point of impact.
Fourthly, the Panel were satisfied that the primary contact was player Cleary’s shoulder on the shoulder of the ball carrier.
Taking all of these factors into account, the Panel determined that the appropriate grading
was a Grade 1.


Well theres a precedent set if ever ive seen.one....

All our players would have gotten 3 weeks
This is what frustrates me time and time again. Double standards all around. From salary cap to refs calls to draws.
Life as a WT supporter is difficult enough, the unfairness on top is extra for our loyalty

Shoulder on shoulder?

 

[Tucker]

Tallyn Da Silva was over hyped. Good for a burrow-over try, bad service once fatigued, not strong enough in contact, bad decision making. I mean that last one look at what happened when he got to Parra. Hope was better when he got a chance last year.

That’s not true. Our best footy last year happened when Da Silva and Api worked in tandem. Hope could not match what they did.

Ivan Cleary QC is representing him

Obviously has some skill in this arena.

The 5th point that the Judiciary did not mention was Ivan blowing them a kiss which in the end was the clincher.

Right decision imo. Look how far down Makasini is with the contact. No HIA required suggests he didn't get hit in the chin.
As far as precedent for mitigating circumstances, that already occurred last year when Critta got a falling Taylan May on the chin. Not binned and not charged by the MRC.

If the bunker was manned with capable people and allowed to do it's job effectively the MRC would be unnecessary and irrelevant. Currently we have incompetents in the bunker listening to Fox Sports call "that's not a try, he dropped it", surprise, surprise, up goes the ref's hands and it gets reversed. Approve the bunker to review send offs as well and leave it at that. The MRC is just an expensive extension of the bunker anyway and does nothing to instill confidence in the game when it melts under pressure.
