Slater facing suspension

[happy_tiger]

If Slater doesn't play ,half the NSW side shouldn't play

Absolute pack of grubs of the highest order

So you find Slater's actions acceptable. Well done.

he is face down with someone all over him , what is he expected to do ,just lay there ??

Slater has lost a lot of speed I noticed last night , might be the last series he plays SOO for Qld

If you're face down and someone is all over you, it's called a tackle. You are expected to take the tackle, get up and play the ball. Not elbow the bloke in the face.

Last time I checked the opposition need to clear the ruck and if he doesn't it is a penalty

Pearce didn't clear the ruck and the rules state if he doesn't he should be penalised

So why didn't the ref penalise Pearce ??

it's funny ,NSW don't want to play by the rules of the game and then wonder why Qld then reacts when the refs do nothing

Don't see anyone complaining about the fact that one NSW player threw a punch , but the first two players sent off were Qlders

At first I thought it was just him thrashing in the tackle, couldn't understand what Pearce was carrying on about.

When the replay came up though it was a little more obvious, he does have a case to answer.

Look CB ,I'd understand if he can see him and he does it ,but he can't see him

If he can't see him ,how the bloody hell can he know where his head is

still comes back to the refs ,he should of penalised Pearce for not clearing the ruck ,the tackle was completed

 

[coffstiger]

So happy tiger you believe that Slaters actions were justified and the resultant split to the NSW players face purely accidental?

 

[barra]

These days, the tackler should clear the ruck when the ref tells him too. Which he hadn't. (Same as for when Tate pushed Gallen, the ref hadn't called him off until then.)

Interestingly Slater seems to find himself involved in these controversial situations more often than most?

 

[balmain boy]

If you get sin binned at suspended for throwing a punch. You must either get sinbinned or suspended for intentionally elbowing someone in the face.

Its black and white.

The problem is, as I've said in other posts, the Storm are a protected species. Very rarely will they get punished for things which any other player or club will.

Billy is the king of this. The dirtiest player in the game. If he does play at Leichhardt I'm going to be heckling the crap out of him all game. But he must get suspended, especially for a player with his track record they must make an example of him. It's just as bad as the punch!

Yes purely accidental ,justified maybe not ,but it should never have got to that stage to begin with Coffs and that's my point
Don't blame Slater, blame the refs

 

[tigerbill]

Accidental ??? He knows exactly where the tacklers head is, of course he does, its always above yours. You dont accidently put your elbow way above your shoulder when on the ground, of course it was in purpose. I'm guessing his karate kick was "just accidental" ???

try this for me Bill ,try and get an effective shot with your elbow while lying face down up to the same level as the back off your head

I couldn't do it ,maybe that's because I'm 44 ,maybe not

Happy your agreement is pointless. He knew who was on top of him, that's why he lashed out. I bet if if was Bird, there would've be no elbow to the head. Bird would've sent him looking for his jaw. I can't believe you support such a grub. Take the victory and run.

That's the point.

Regardless of what he was aiming for he lashed out with his elbow hoping to hit part of Pearce. Lucky for slater it got him in the head. Could of hit him in the shoulder could of hit him in chest. Point is he threw the elbow knowing full well Pearce was on him and knew he would connect somewhere.

By the logic posted in here I can close my eyes and start swinging…not my fault your honor, my eyes were closed...how was I supposed to know his head was there.

Stupid.

The old Bart Simpson philosophy,I am gunna start swinging my arms if it hits you,it's not my fault,good old Happy,one maroon eye and one other maroon eye,if it was Storm V WestsTigers and he opened Benji,whats the call then.

 

[Blake93]

Happy is the king of biased one-sided arguments. If slater was making a tackle on pearce and pearce busted slater open, what would you say then?

 

[happy_tiger]

And what ,none of you aren't being biased by not agreeing that this would of not ended the way it did by the referee giving a penalty

So it is alright for a NSW player to not play by the rules ,but not a Qlders because that is what you are saying with your comments

Funny how when the shoes on the other foot …........

Some people on here are dead set poor losers Didn't see me whinging after game 1 about losing or any indiscretions

Bunch of sooks ,suck it princesses

 

[Blake93]

Not sore losers at all, I think everyone can agree that QLD dominated the entire game and deserved to win. The issue at hand is how Slater and other superstar players are protected species and I won't be surprised if he gets off without a suspension. It was blatantly obvious there was intent from Slater, if you can't see that you should watch the game again. I can't comment on whether Pearce should have been penalised for staying on the tackle because I didn't hear the refs call.

Another point brought up earlier was the sin-binning, in my opinion the refs got almost all of it wrong. The ref called for Gallen to get off the tackler which he immediately proceeded to do. Tate then pushed Gallen over. This should have resulted in a penalty to NSW as taking Gallen out of the play could have potentially resulted in extra metres/a try etc that could have been prevented had Gallen been present. The sin-binning of Tate and Bird was ridiculous, the new rules states that if a punch is thrown then that player is sin-binned. Not once did Tate or Bird throw a punch, the correct decision would have been to sin-bin Merrin and Hodges and a penalty awarded to NSW for the first infringement.

Look ,if Slater was to miss the game I'd be happy as a Tigers supporter and I believe he had intent to try and get the player off him , but not to make contact with the head

players with the ball use illegal tactics all the time to get rid of defenders

but this all comes back to the same point , none of this occurs if the ref does his job and many of our problems with our game are being caused either by the on and off field referees /administrators

Oh boy, there are non so blind than those who will not see.

Slater:- Deliberate elbow, deliberate kick to the head, mostly off side when chasing kicks, etc, etc. He is a very good player, but he is a grub of the first order.

Storm:- Innovator in most of the illegal plays we see today, chicken wing tackle, crusher tackle, stepping on players legs, the list goes on. They are so protected it really is becoming a joke.

The two ref's should be binned for a couple of weeks as well. Shocking display.

 

[Marshall_magic]

No case to answer? No doubt if Nigel Plum does the same thing on the weekend it will have the same outcome.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Slater is a protected species. How many times has he been charged only to be cleared?

 

[Banged_up]

Did anyone see the deliberate knee to the head of Gallen by Thurstan at the 47 min mark…?? he didn't miss..
