Go wash your keyboard young man! You do not speak for me...! I'd again remove my eyeballs with a teaspoon if that were ever to happen or at least go watch the Jets instead full time.

I knew I'd get you RWB.

He's a great player, he'd look great in the RWB.

Why don't you just kill me now and throw Inglis in and Bellamy as well?

hell do it again for sure and when that occurs must be out for the season!

He wasn't charged and that's the correct outcome. Plus, if the Bulldogs player doesn't go in for the mid-air tackle then he doesn't get kicked in the face. Simple really? The fact that it was a penalty to the Bulldogs was ridiculous.

Have another look at it. The defender had stopped his momentum waiting for Slater to land so he could tackle him legally. Had he tried to tackle him mid air, Slater wouldn't have had time to kick him in the head - which is what he"gained" by staying fair. Mate you may be head moderator, but I think you are off your head defending this guy. He has enough natural ability to succeed without resorting to these low down tactics. And he has plenty of form in this regard. He is a proven (and suspended) head stomper. A bit like Ty Cobb in the early 20th century Major League Baseball - a major talent, but a nasty piece of work.

The NRL have opened up a can of worms here with the Slater kick which was deemed okay due to it being accidental. All players can now kick out with their legs whilst attempting to catch the ball, whether it be a high kick or a bouncing grubber kick. All players have to do is leap, catch and kick out with knowledge of no repercussions.

The NRL have also shot themselves in the foot regarding the shoulder charge. In the first 2 rounds they have been very lenient in their 'so called' elimination of it. In today's game against the Titans, another shoulder charge gone wrong has seen a player stretchered off. Players have been seeing that not much action has been taken against them and have continued to do them. Banned means banned I thought.

Slaters' kick will come back to bite the NRL as well.

Alot head high tackles are unitentional as well, but that doesnt make them ok.

First of all grow up and stop calling people clowns. Secondly, if you think Billy Slater is a clean skin, you know nothing about NRL.

Dunno about the clown part, RWB.
When I read jethrow's post I had a look in the mirror.

Geez poor call from the match review cats.

It certainly looked deliberate and was reckless at best, thuggish at worst.

They are very kind, like some of our chookies on here.

Looks ok to kick someone in the head from now on...tough game.

Bring on Round 11 25th May Allianz 7.30pm kick off..This will be me Chook56:

look at it this way.
player x kicked player y in the face, and got away with it.

doesn't that put it into context?
