      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?

              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 wen’t limp - he was KO’d, albeit briefly.

                Minimum 2 weeks

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

                    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 “pride of the league” - how dare anyone suggest such a thing to blacken their “GOOD” name.

                        The more things change, the more they stay the same.

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

                            They won’t ck - they have too much dirty washing themselves, they may open a can of worms.

                                  Its fun to joke about certain teams getting “special treatment” but usually you can rationalize the outcome.

                                  This one is different. I cant see how he didn’t 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?
