3 matches ?? ' wtf '....................

[gragra]

That's an absolute disgrace..shouldn't have even been a sin bin...penalty at worst ...3 weeks ...unbelievable

[Easts75]

So no JWH for Storm,Manly & Dolphins games

Also with two byes in that period no footy for Jared for 5 weeks.

Could this be a blessing in some way ? Comes back fresh for one final charge?

[Rooster_6]

Yeh challenge that Jared one for sure, no chance that was a grade 2.

Need to get some Rugby League people onto that MRC team. They've been on one lately.

[Arties Pie]

What a load a garbage.. Not much in it….Milestone day for Jared 10 in the bin, Stitches in the head and lengthy suspension….Gawd the powers to be really have it in for us..

[mightyrooster]

Seriously ridiculous. And no charge for whoever whacked Jennings in the side of the head and caused him to go off for a concussion check?

[Andrew Walker]

I will admit I was watching the game whilst lunch at the surf club when Jared’s tackle happened but when I saw a replay I thought he was lucky he wasn’t sent off

[Ron Burgundy]

Did Jared even make contact with the head? Looked like all shoulder to me.

They have two former players on the panel of 6 - I assume one of these ex players would be on the panel plus an ex referee and Geoff Bellew as the Chair who has the casting vote if the panel is split

The NRL Judiciary Panel is made of former players, referees and coaches, with six members for the season. Former international players Bob Lindner and Tony Puletua along with former referees Henry Perenara, Greg McCallum, Sean Hampstead and Paul Simpkins.

Henceforth they will be known as Team Pussy. What a stitch up. They knock Jenko out and nothing cited. Did the guy Jared hit even get a HIA? Talk about destroying the game..

[Thirteen]

No option to rest Lindsay or Spencer against Melbourne now.

What a soft decision. This game has become so soft.

[HunchoRooster]

They are getting worried and starting the fix early. No way on earth that is worth 3 weeks. Definitely challenge it. I thought was harsh it was even a sin bin.

Did the Dragons player get charged for the blatant swinging arm that hit Jenko square on the jaw.

[King Salvo]

If they plead guilty and contest the grading and are successful - i.e from a grade 2 to grade 1 it would be 2 matches and a $3000 fine

It's his third and subsequent offence of this nature

May not be worthwhile challenging the grading in that case for 1 game reduction.

I'm astonished by Jennings also being cited when Ben Hunt who chopped him and others during the match weren't. It's bad enough Klein is biased , I think the mrc being biased maybe even worse
