challenging the review committee

[OMR]

Is it possible to get vision of the SBW and Teo shoulder charges side by side and try to figure out why one is deserving of a grade 2 and the other is deemed legitimate?

I would love for Uncle Nick to take on this fkn committee and maybe even ask the referees' boss to question his refs as to why they pinged us for things that the vermins were committing and getting away with?

Teo's tackle is fine, apart for the fact that it's late and clearly just an opportunity to hit SBW in the ribs whilst he's exposed.

The shoulder isn't tucked into the body hence it's not a shoulder charge, for those who remember this is how Napa got off his shoulder charge at the match review committee last year for his hit on James Graham.

If we're suspending Teo for that then our game is going softer than I thought. 3-4 weeks for SBW's hit is ridiculously over-dramatic imo but stop comparing it to Ben Teo's hit.

Nothing Nick can do about it because these are the rules, every club already knows this.

SBWs shoulder charge looked liked more of an attempt at a shoulder charge, I don't think he was successful. I think the fact that the other defending player forced SBW to lose his direction and he hit G Burgess in the jaw is what landed him in hot water.

CEOs, ElPresidentes or other suits should NEVER be allowed to question rules or on field officials or judiciary's etc.

EVER.

That's opening a can we want to avoid.

Imagine the shit storm we'd cop, and rightly so, if Uncle Nick stormed into a judiciary hearing ranting and raving.

This threads out there.

I say SBW should do the time and clear his carry overs, Will make the rest work harder for a few weeks.. Faark Teo and Faaark Souffs..

its because Teos arm was up and not tucked into his body

The tucking of arms excuse is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard.
Its about whether you use the arms in the tackle or not.
SWB's hit was def a shoulder charge as was Teo's.
SBW made contact with the head that is probably the only real difference.

For me tripping is a more serious charge and its about time someone was sent off for like, like they used to be when referees had balls.

I agree I always thought you had to use your arm. I guess everyone can just start doing what Teo did if there isn't going to be any consequence

It's not crap, it's the rules. Get used to it. The NRL made a PC decision to ban the shoulder charge but have still allowed players to hit with the point of the shoulder so long as the arm isn't tucked into the body.

Napa is a very good exponent of it and it'd be a shame if we expected every tackle to involve a wrapping motion of the arms, our game still isn't at the level of Union but it will be if fans keep sooking about hits like Teo's. It was late, it was cheap, no idea how the refs missed it but it wasn't a shoulder charge.

At least SKD will never be put on report for a shoulder charge.

Obviously the point I was making was lost on some! I didn't expect Politis to storm into the judiciary, I meant he would finance the legal representation.
