"Fairness not equality" Todd style

 

[diedpretty]

Wow - the NRL just keeps digging the hole deeper. One minute they want the game cleaned up so families come along - cue lets punish Wests Tigers. Next minute they let rubbish like JWH's hit go unpunished. Its not like the guy is a cleanskin. And to those saying JWH's hit was fair enough but lets really punish hair pulling - please give me a break.

If you think hair pulling is fair - you must have gone to a girls school.

Give me a break.

Lol - even the AFL think hair pulling is a minor infringement. You're the one who has obviously gone to a girls school.

We all know if it was a Tigers player that did JWH tackle they would have gotten 8 weeks. :thinking_face: Maybe 10

If you hadn’t noticed, league is a contact sport and accidents happen. There was a head clash which caused all the blood. Watching the game I could see nothing deliberately illegal about the tackle.

There have been plenty of incidents during the year where the punishment or lack thereof have been quite laughable. However, in this instance, I think they got it about right.

I agree, I didn't think there was any intent or recklessness in JWH's tackle. Liam Knight backs into him and falls, and the damage is caused not by the head collision (low collision on the bicep, mind you, with an arm pointing straight down) but by the secondary collision with the previous tackler.

There's possibly not much too that tackle if Knight isn't sandwiched the way he was, and I don't see intent in that. Penalty yes, on report yes, maybe 1 week but I am actually ok with the call.

And I'm not in any way trying to favour Roosters, I freaking hate them to death. Sam Burgess deserved his, you can't allow proper planned grubbery like hair pulling to go.

I'm still bitter that Tetevano got off, that was the one that got me. JWH was probably an accident but Tetevano deliberately floored Doueihi off the ball and gets off, but Garner gets a week for basically the same thing, except at least Lachlan Lewis actually had the ball when Garner put his shot on.

The NFL would be laughing at us. “You call that a hit?”

Yeah without a helmet and tons of wussy padding...

They got it totally wrong. It was JWH’s responsibility to not whack him in the head. He did nothing to prevent that. There was no movement of his arm to move it away from his head. He got him well and truly. To say it was an accident in a contact sport is laughable. A terrible decision that takes the responsibility away from the defender.

I see it differently. I think it was an accident. These things should happen in the rough and tumble of league. The problem is some get penalised harshly and others don't. In fairness, I dont think Warrea-Hargreaves is a protected species - far from it. The end result compared to other penalties handed down is what is utter crapola.

Wests Tigers are pleased to announce that Luke Garner has signed a contract extension with the club — keeping him at Wests Tigers until the end of the 2022 NRL season.

A strong performer throughout the 2019 season, Garner’s two-year deal will see him continue his development under Coach Michael Maguire following an impressive start to his NRL career.


Originally joining the club’s Intrust Super Premiership side in 2017, the 24-year-old was made captain of the side in 2018 before earning promotion to the NRL squad before the June 30 deadline.

He would make his first-grade debut soon after against the St. George-Illawarra Dragons in Round 18 before establishing himself as a regular in the side soon after.

The Bilambil Jets junior has played 20 games in total for the club, having scored seven tries in his 14 games played for Wests Tigers during 2019.

Garner said he was extremely happy to remain with Wests Tigers.

“It’s very exciting for me to stay here,” Garner said.

“This is the club where I made my first-grade debut and where I’ve played for the last few years so I’m very excited to stay.

“We’re building something very nice here and it’s very exciting to see the development in our team. I’m focussed on working hard and pushing my teammates and seeing where we can go in the next few years.”
