Cordner charged with tripping from round 2 against warriors

[melon....]

If mini had tried to trip someone he would have tripped himself up.

Chook.

....and missed!!!

If it's an accident so be it but.....

It's amazing how much punishment he copped for this act after coming out and admitting he tried the break the blokes leg.

1) From the judiciary who gave him a 2 week suspension

2) From his own club who didn't discipline him at all, imagine if this had happened outside of football on a night out and he broke a guys leg. I bet you all of a sudden he would have probably been sacked but it's OK during a game?

3) From the NRL who have a duty of care to the players, I've never seen such a low act and they should of quickly realised the two week suspension was no where near sufficient for the act committed.

And Souffs fans have the balls to say they have a 'no dickhead policy'.... please. That act made Sonny look like a saint for walking out on a contract.

Boyd Cordner has taken the early guilty plea by the way.

Any word on his injury?

Be interesting to see what Merritt gets for his shoulder charge tonight. No effort to put the arm around, if anything cocked his arm. Looked close to making contact with the head.

didn't make contact with the head, so wasn't charged

bit lucky I reckon

So the shoulder charge ban has turned into a sham.All the match review panel are doing is giving slaps on the wrists to the guilty.
Slaters late high hit was exactly what they wanted stopped when introducing this rule...

More than Lucky, where does it say Shoulder charges are OK if they do not contact the head ?

A shoulder charge is a shoulder charge it is either in or out.
