12 weeks it is!

Got 12 weeks.

2 tests, 2 trials, 8 NRL games.

I haven't seen a Pommy test side picked???

I was of the belief that you couldn't count rep games unless selected???

Would they allow that with Origin, that hasn't been selected???

Unless the report is wrong, the decision to allow someone that latitude is wrong, IMO.

Why the f*ck do trial games count. Also feel sorry for England lol.

LemonChicken we agree strangely.

Counting trials, comp games, finals, GFs and rep games equal in suspensions is wrong IMO.

But I never feel sorry for the Poms. Fark em.


Also I was wrong, seems the Poms picked their squad 2 days ago, so his 2 tests technically count.

Trial games shouldn't count.. oh well 8 weeks is still a long time NRL wise..

Imagine the niggle that dirty mongrel is going to get from every opposition he faces for the rest of his career. Hes made his bed... he now has to sleep in for a very very loooong time!

Yeah don't agree with tests and trials counting.
But the poms are only playing France and Wales so I got no problem with them counting the m as 1 match each. If it was Aus or NZ they where facing then maybe that could have been considered as worth 1 game each. As for trials, he would have only played 20-30 min in total of both games. Doesn't seem right

[Guest]

as of now, the nrl is yet to decide whether those international and trial games will count.
so he could still be up for a round 13 return next year.

I agree trial matches should not count. But 12 weeks is a bit too long I think considering the shit that Melb have as part of their tackling techniques. Cameron Smith especially escapes punishment for the crap he goes on with. Wrestling is part of the game, but wrestling with the head and neck is not.

I have even heard some halfwits ring up the radio complaining what a poor std it sets for little kids and he should be banned for life.
If a kids decides that its OK to bite because he thinks an NRL player did it, thats just poor parenting.

Mike Tyson got banned for 1 year (basically one, two bouts at most) and fined $3 million, different sport I know.

After this - Iron Mike became a vegetarian.

Mate you know me I come from that older era where being a tough prop was mandatory, highshots, facials etc, I don't give a fark.

But in this case he took a chunk out of Slaters ear. It wasn't as though he was being choked and bit his arm or being given a facial and had his hand bitten. IMO Graham had a brain explosion.

I don't like anyone suspended but in this case he left the judiciary little option, especially when he didn't plead guilty. He'd have got a decent reduction if he did.

I hate the wrestle more than any dirty tactic these days. I'd also suspend any player found guilty of that shit. Melba IMO get away with murder in that dept.

Bloody dumb Pom, Mozz like.

Exactly mate. Interestingly, one of the judiciary panel members is one of those tough old type props you describe - Royce Ayliffe.
Even "old school" Royce didn't budge for the Beefeater.

Now the Bullscum just need to sack the player/s involved in making the lewd comments to the reporter and get rid of their major sponsor for that appalling interview he did on Ben Fordham the other day.
If they don't do both of those things then they are a joke of a club. Imagine if we were in their position. Rothfield would have us and the boss of Steggles on the front page of the paper saying that we think its okay to ogle women and make comments about them because they shouldn't have come near us in the first place.
Do it dogs or you are truly the scum you have always been.
