OFFICIAL Luke Garner [Discussion]

[Tiger_Steve]

The reason Garner was suspended is he had carry over points so taking an early plea still cost him a game..

The joke is the carry over point weren't for the same offence it was a high tackle from last season not dangerous contact..

The whole system needs an overhaul..he wasn't suspended because he wears a Wests Tigers jersey ..he was suspended because the system is flawed..


At an exponential rate I’m struggling to agree with this. There was a segment on fox tonight showing the favouritism towards the storm in how long a defender lies on the tackled player. Blatant favouritism. It’s just becoming ridiculous.

What show please @Tiger_Steve?

I didn’t mention because I wasn’t sure. I was watching repeat of controversy corner. Then watched NRL tonight and then 360. I’m pretty sure it was highlighted on controversy corner

Thanks. Don't want to watch through all the repeats, so thought I would ask.

@Geo
Is that it for him then? Or because he was found guilty do his points carry over for the next charge?

He still has carry over point

Dangerous contact Grade 1 is 120 points..or 1 game..you take the plea that is reduced to 75 points so you are free to play but carry that 75 points

In Garners case he had 35 point from a previous charge so 75 + 35 = 110 so he misses a game even if he takes the early plea


By fighting and losing it's 120 + 35 = 155 ..1 game suspension - 100 points so he now carries 55 points...If he had won he still would have carried the 35 points..as carry over points take 2 seasons to expire..

Turdberg will be so excited after getting the result he was hoping for he will have to get his head an extra polish in the morning.
"Fair not equal" is his motto

Well, that was a surprise - who would have thought that Garner would get suspended?

However the bigger question is - who would have thought he would have been penalised and sin binned?

How is it possible for a player to pull out of a tackle in a milli second, assuming that you knew the opposition player had got rid of the ball (in my opinion Garner could not see that the player had released the ball).

The judiciary is made up of former players Mal Cochrane, Michael Buettner, Bradley Clyde, Sean Garlick, Don McKinnon and Bob Lindner - players who should realise that you cannot pull out of a tackle with such limited time - I would suggest that maybe the game has gone past these guys and a new committee should be appointed - players with their fingers on the pulse.

As for the NRL and Greenturd - they keep on wanting to prove that the officials of the game are incompetent and that it is a level playing field.

The supporters of at least 10 NRL teams know this is not true and the whole thing is a sham and becoming more than a joke.

@Geo
Right,
That’s not at all confusing, but thanks for the explanation.
Likely if his charged in the future he’ll miss a game again regardless.
Question,?
Do the carry over points reduce over time as ‘sort of a good behaviour bond’?

Pretty much..

The main problem I see is the points carry over to whatever you are charged with in future regardless...

So for example you have a dangerous contact charge and the next time it's say careless high tackle totally un-related your dangerous contact carry over points go on top of your careless tackle

Each charge on there own are not enough to miss a game but when carry over points are added for a unrelated charge you do..flawed

Storm player not even cited for this on the weekend

Disagree!

He was suspended because his name isnt Ponga, Burgess or McGuire etc.

We all know how carry over points work.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Completely unsurprised by this.

One of the Burgesses will decapitate someone this weekend or Josh McGuire will manage to scrape someone's retinas and will be lucky to do a week for it.

 

[Geo]

Maguire got 3 weeks..

 

[JD Tiger]

@WT2K And that was more leading with the shoulder as well.

Yeah well, it's a small world. One day Mr Greenburg will be in a position where he needs something and it'll be a disgruntled football fan that denies him. You better hope it's not me that you need to help you Greenburg, you'd have more luck catching syphilis than me helping you.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Wasn't aware. I suppose you only get away with it the first half dozen times...

@jadtiger man I bleeping live for these comments about him horse-shoe shining his head every day in the morning, as he gets up looking like total shite and goes about preparing to do an even more mediocre job of his real life affairs as CEO of our game. One only hopes he checks the forum sometimes 🤭🙄

Well he’d have to. What else has Elmer Fudd done all year except write a salary cap cheat a reference and throw a party for another salary cap cheat?

Apologies to Elmer Fudd and Mel Blanc

@Tiger_Steve we should dedicate a thread to Toddy, old sport, see how he likes the ‘discrimination’

I doubt if he would read forums except for the Donkeys Rorters and Souffs ones he would only find the truth on the others
