Suspensions

[tig_prmz]

South Sydney could be without Eddie Pettybourne for Friday night's desperation NRL clash against Parramatta, with the second rower facing a week on the sidelines for a high tackle.

However, St George Illawarra prop Neville Costigan will escape penalty after he was charged with the same grade one offence, and will be on hand to help the Dragons try and secure the minor premiership against Newcastle on Saturday.

A bad recent record means Pettybourne will have to fight his careless high tackle at the NRL judiciary if he wants to play this weekend, with carry over points meaning he will be suspended for a match if he can't prove his innocence or takes the early guilty plea.

The Rabbitohs must beat the Eels if they are to be any chance of making the finals, and it will be a severe blow to them if they were to lose another strike forward with John Sutton and Dave Taylor already out with injury.

Melbourne's Billy Slater was the only other player charged by the match review committee - also for a low grade careless high tackle - but despite carry over points will be free to tackle the Wests Tigers on Sunday if he takes the early guilty plea.

Does that mean Lui is able to play if there were no other charges? And… Billly might miss the game against us!! It's a possibility.

If Lui wasn't mentioned then he should be sweet to play. Pity Slater won't be suspended.

Did you read the article tig_prmz ???

...........Melbourne's Billy Slater was the only other player charged by the match review committee - also for a low grade careless high tackle - but despite carry over points **will be free to tackle the Wests Tigers on Sunday** if he takes the early guilty plea............

I guess he could miss the plane....
It's a possibility.

Good decision not to charge Lui, I thought he was going more for the ball than the man.

 

[tig_prmz]

Insaneink, he will miss the game if he doesn't plead guilty and cant't fight off the charge. That's why it's a possibility!

However, missing the plane? C'mon you can do better than that aye

 

[MacDougall]

Well Slater should probably actually fight it. He has no reason to play and why take carry over points into next season for no reason?

Or do carry over points reset?

 

[innsaneink]

None of em have any reason to play, do they?
Carry overs reduce with each game played with no offence

How often do players fight a charge when a guilty plea will see them free to play?
Never.
Missing the plane is more likely

Btw….its two "n"s

 

[tig_prmz]

That's why I said it's a possibility. Geeze there is nothing wrong with having a POSITIVE hope is it?

 

[innsaneink]

I hope all the melbourne players get arrested for speedboat speeding and are denied bail until next monday.

Thers positive, and theres unrealistic
Time to get a grip on reality

But that wouldn't give us a chance to improve our for-and-against. :laughing:

Given that he's most likely going to be the Australian fullback for the four nations, he may take opt for the suspension. It doesn't really matter if he misses any games for Melbourne, and he may not want to run the risk of missing any games in a tournament where he actually has something to play for.

So will we know today (Tuesday)???

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I can't believe he is free to play after that. What a joke.

 

[tig_prmz]

He is named in the side.

 

[supercoach]

I want to beat their strongest cheating side, brown paper bags and all and Iam confident we will win and win well

 

[Archangel]

I would rather Slater play, so much easier to rub it in if we beat them :smiley:

 

[innsaneink]

You'd think we'd have heard if he was fighting the charge, or wasnt playing.
Surprise!

 

[tig_prmz]

Geeze insanneink, i said IT'S A POSSIBILITY. His name was mentioned in the article so i said he may possibly miss the game against the Tigs.

 

[innsaneink]

Was never going to miss it

Btw the two 'n's are after the 'i'.
