How many weeks for SBW ?

[elo]

Yeah, 50% loading from a grade 1 earlier in the season hurts. (Careless Grade 3 is normally only 175 points and a 1 week suspension)

[stephenj]

was it a tackle or a shoulder charge?

[Guest]

ruled as a high tackle

[Guest]

Should probably mention that Smith didn't get suspended for his swinging arm on Jared

[Tommy Smith]

**** I hate the loading system. We should have appealed his high tackle charge vs Parra as it was a joke that has now come back to bite us.

Oh well, early plea and two weeks to rest up. We should win both games relatively easily anyway.

The whole system is a joke... could've ended up being 1 week, could've ended up being 5.

Can be pretty subjective like Hargreaves one but at least it isn't going to hurt us that much.

There was a nasty looking led twist from Jennings. Could he be in trouble also?

if je gets charged for that I reckon about 10 players per game per week would get charged. many players do that and ive never seen it penalised

Fk me there was no force applied at all there ... he just had the leg lifted to slow play .. wasn't twisted or anything. Maxwell has a lot to answer for suggesting Jennings was going to break his leg then those idiots in 9s comm box go on to say he should get 8 weeks for it! Fk ch 9 telecasts r shite!

This could be a test of how much political power we have...

When Slater kicked Klemmer in the head, Bellamy had a similar vibe of confidence when he said "there was nothing in it..."

Does Robbo now have a similar amount of power or will we get 6-8 weeks by challenging it?

IMO if this isn't deemed to be a shoulder charge, it's a win for us as a team because it will show that we can negotiate a good deal.

My view is that the NRL won't suspend Sonny Bill for 6-8 weeks because he means too much to them. That and he was smashing Willie Wanka (who nobody likes anyway.)

According to the NRL site, grade 3 Careless + previous loading - early plea = 2 weeks.

How does that equate in weeks?

[Guest]

2 weeks if he pleads guilty, 3 if he contests and loses.
