Bloody hell!
They DID resurrect Jim Comans!

Obviously they are getting to the stage where a message is being sent to the players.

Sucked in, hes a grub

It is actually for a combination of the chicken wing tackle on Mose, & the head high tackle on Kennedy. Both were deliberate acts which is why he is looking at such a lengthy suspension.

Inglis is also potentially facing a 5 week suspension.

Inglis will get a week. The other goose... who really cares. Hes a nuffy who wont be missed by the Riff.

Burns is a grub and deserves what he gets.
Right from the kickoff on Sunday, you just knew that something would happen. Tim Grant started targeting Marty from the kickoff, don't know what that was about.
Inglis, I notice will be back for the Finals ...... how much does it hurt to say that.

Thats not part of Travis Burns game. Hes a good kid as honest as the day is long. Look it was just a good clean late high swinging arm where he jumped up to land it and luckily got him square on the nose. Nothing in it for mine its just part of the beauty of our game. As for the chicken wing if Mose is going to lie around with his arm out that kind of stuff is going to happen. You've got to protect the tackler in both these situations.

That's exactly right. And like Gordon Toolis said last night, it's Dean Young's fault for turning his head like a clown at the show which caused Inglis to hit him there. The player being tackled has a duty of care to run the ball up correctly and so prevent the tackler from making an error when he tries to smash the crap out of him.
