Boyd cordner pleads not guilty

[Guest]

Fair enough Spirit, I applaud your pacifist's stance.

Judging by your definition of "king hit", I've been guilty of delivering two in my lifetime (in my younger days of course). Both times some dude got up in my grill and threatened me verbally, so I responded by punching him in the head. As far as I'm concerned I was within my rights, boor that I am.

you certainly are within your rights.

your animalistic instincts take over in that situation. I wouldn't let someone get up in my face and start abusing me.

Screw myles. I hated him even when he was a rooster.

Everything about that bloke stinks, in particular his attitude to the team. I'm so glad that he's gone even if he is playing good footy.

Totally. I never liked him at Easts, even though he was our best player. Reeked of the Bulldogs.

Especially his pants.

**** me I'm sick of this shit.

How the farrk was it a king hit, Spirit?

Myles got up and shoved him ffs.

You shove someone then you should expect to get down and dirty!

It's not Gallens fault that he was too stupid to hold his hands up.

you dont think myles deserved to shove him after copping a swinging cheapshot in that tackle??

It's coming through on twitter that Cordner has got off.

When the panel view the footage I hope they see Moi Moi running in third man, knocking the ref out of the way in the process and throwing punches. But I bet they don't.

Chook.

Absolutely.

But it's a shame SuperEvansNapaBosdenTasiAioliHommusAreola didn't get a run.

I thought we were dropping Kennedy?

It's called assassination from the grassy knoll mate, like his Uncle.

Cordner cleared to play

Boyd Cordner is free to play this weekend after successfully challenging a grade one striking charge at the NRL judiciary tonight.

Cordner was charged following an incident in the 55th minute of last Friday night’s win over the Eels.

Roosters Chief Operating Officer Football, Brian Canavan, spoke with Roosters.com.au following the hearing and when asked why the Club chose to challenge the charge he said: “We were of the opinion that there wasn’t sufficient force to warrant a charge.

“Boyd is a player with a very bright future, and a part of our leadership group and what we would say is a model player for our game and Club’s future.”

Ahead of this Sunday’s clash with the in-form Warriors, Cordner’s inclusion is undoubtedly a bonus for Trent Robinson’s side.

“Boyd is just one of those players that does so much unseen work that for him to not be playing would have left a fair whole and it will give our team a lot of confidence with him running out in the No.13 jersey,” said Canavan.

Following the hearing, vice-captain Cordner was clearly pleased with the result.

“I’m over the moon with the outcome and really happy to have had a fair hearing and now just pumped to play the Warriors this Sunday.”

Asked about the challenge that lay ahead for he and the side this Sunday, Cordner said: “They’re on fire at the moment and we’re definitely going to have to lift if we’re going to come close to competing with them.”

And, what if another scuffle breaks out?

“I’ll be staying well away,” said Cordner, smiling.

Correct. Cordner has been found not guilty and is free to play this weekend.

Sonny Bill should've appealed as well.
