Guerra

[Vasco]

Realistically only Napa is in trouble.

The bloke obviously has very little upstairs.

If grubs like Matai and Luke get off then there is no reason why Guerra and JWH shouldn't also.

But this is Easts we are talking about.

[Johnny Tobin]

Guerra is in massive trouble. I won't be surprised if he is rubbed out for the season.

It's ironic that we play the dirtiest team in the comp and we are the ones with the judiciary issues.

[roosterproud]

just looked at the highlites on the the roosters site, and you could almost argue Guerra was holding the souffs guy up.

I wouldn't be expecting any favours, particularly in light of the media hysteria about wrestling after Souths v Bulldogs.

We're going to be thin on troops next week.

Guerra took an early plea last year for a 100 point offence. If my understanding is correct it means he has 75 carry over points plus 20% loading.

Grade 1 - 195 points - 170 with early plea
Grade 2 - 375 points - 312 with early plea


Roosters would contest a Grade 2 for sure.

Loading only lasts 12 months, so a charge early last year means nothing.

Guerra will get 1 week if charged with the same offence as Teo. Nappa will surely get no more than a grade 1 shoulder charge. He was only penalised for 1. He'll miss 1-2 weeks as well.

:edit: That loading is for grade 1 charges only btw. higher than grade 1 loading lasts longer

Some on here are asserting that Napa being borderline insane as being a bad thing..

Probably the same people who are missing LOD..

Strange..

Napa is obviously our hitman..

There is a lot of Mozz in young Napa..

Ditto.
I sent him instructions before the game.
He listened.

Especially with FPN out and JWHs record we need someone who's a little Loco.

Everyone loves Greg Evans. That's the easy love. He's smooth and all big and obvious with those long legs and being a hip swivelling man.

Me, I'm finding love for Napalm. He just hates everyone carrying the pill near him. His defence is just all anger and hate. Crazy poker machine eyes. I love that sorta shit.

How bout Maubs. He was giving it to them in defence. He kept crunching Burgii and getting up and verbaling them. What a farking champion.

Sure last night was close score wise in the end but IMO we drilled those cats in the forwards without FPN and Friendly, probably two of our best defenders in the pack.

Some people will never be happy with the simple side of the game.

nice pickup on the grade 1 twelve month rule. So unless guerra has other charges we have forgotten about it will be 1 week max.

DiceMan did you pick up on the arm around the throat from Walker on Moa???

It was enough for Moa to blow up but received no penalty even though the Vidiot had time to view it.

Does that rule still exist where video refs only allowed to intervene for reportable offenses?

Don't think so when they can intervene when a balls knocked dead by the other team like they did against Melba.

Anyway a crusher style tackle like that one surely is a report job.

Just seen it again, if Napa misses a game for that the game has dead set lost it. The way people have been carrying on I thought he must've collected him high. No chance he'll miss a game for that.

Mate both times napa steadied himself dropped the shoulder, and did not make any effort in trying to wrap his arm around the ball carrier. Poor technique, whether it is coached or on his own accord, he needs to fix it.

It's definitely a mix of both. You'll notice in all instances he keeps separation between the arm and body which is one of the NRL's guidelines so he's definitely conscious about it and Robbo has brought it up numerous times that he's often unfairly penalised. This will be the Roosters defence when they go in to challenge it. If they apply the ruling to the letter of the law then he'll get off, however the shoulder charge definition seems to have progressed far from that criteria based on precedents set by the judiciary & MRC, it really wouldn't surprise me if he does cop a week or 2 in the end.

Wrapping the arm around is not mentioned in the criteria at all & just proves my point as to how far the rule has progressed despite the laws of the game never actually changing. No one actually understands what the NRL's definition of the shoulder charge is & that includes the judiciary & MRC.
