Sam Burgess tackle downgraded to a grade one
-
Well done NRL
, after talking tough and resetting all the precedents, you have just set the standard for a grade one high tackle.Moylan is out with concussion this week but Sam Burgess can play. Is a grade 3 now when you kill someone?

A legitimate and âfairâ decision thats the NRL for you
-
if a tigers player did it ( we wouldnât) it would be life ban
-
Maloney got banned for a week for waving his leg near another player. It is dirty play but even if the trip was successful its not as bad as knocking someone out with a swinging arm.
The inconsistency is so frustrating.

Should never have been downgraded. He contacted the head and Moylan wenât limp - he was KOâd, albeit briefly.
Minimum 2 weeks

A certain ex Penrith and Dragons player who used to date a well known surfer thinks it is priceless âŚ

Such an appalling decision. So wrong. What does this bloke have to do to get a significant penalty?

Not play for Souffs Rorters or Donkeys

Seriously - did anyone really think he was going to get a real penalty?
He plays for the âpride of the leagueâ - how dare anyone suggest such a thing to blacken their âGOODâ name.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Youâre right ⌠but what will anybody do about it?
The answer is ⌠nothing.
I hope Cronulla have the balls to have a go at them.

Surely you are not advocating violenceâŚ

Its fun to joke about certain teams getting âspecial treatmentâ but usually you can rationalize the outcome.
This one is different. I cant see how he didnât get a holiday.The replay is fairly damning and the guy has a track record. The result for Moylan is a stint on the sidelines.
This might be a silly question but if he had carry over points are they now gone? so he goes into finals with a clean slate?
