sounds like we are fighting Napa's charge not grading

[kurtsherlock6]

hate to say it but the club looks to have made a tactical error tonight, had they plead guilty and gone for the downgrade Dylan would have only missed 1 match, now he has to cross his fingers and hope we make it to the GF.

My understanding is he still would of got 2 weeks even if they just went for the downgrade. I suppose it's easy to be wise after the event.

How the **** that was initially ruled as a grade 2 shoulder charge I'll never know.

I think we're lucky Te'o was charged with a grade 2 chicken wing a few weeks ago, leaving the MRC with no room to maneuver for a harsher grading for Guerra given they were identical.

would have got 187 points if he plead guilty and got downgrade which is a 1 match ban

That was my understanding too.

I've never heard of a downgrade from 2 to 1 that results in a 3 week suspension going down to 1 week.

As i said, easy to be wise after the event.

Issac Luke was also exonerated before he even walked into the building, too.

They'll try everything within their power to stop us going B2B this year. They would hate for it to happen.

Seems to be.

Matai and Williams not even cited at all! LOL

NRL...biggest joke ever.

Guerra...cited.
Napa...cited.

Oh the hate.

Why the Club even gives the NRL one kind word is hidden from view.
The Club should do what other clubs do...answer two questions at the press conferences then walk out.

No wonder the Club is at war with the NRL.

If that is the case then it shows just how confident the club were in getting him off.

Clearly no-one still knows what a shoulder charge is... can't wait t hear what we have to day on this.

Aaah well... Lessons for the future.

The only tactical error they made was underestimating the dills that run that joint. By allowing a downgrade they are effectively saying he is not guilty of a grade 2 which is what Napa was charged with.

NRL need to stop pretending that meathead ex-footballers are capable of becoming legally adept.

Was a roll of the dice mate..

dice wants to roll them

[bondi-boy]

So what happened exactly?
Guess as expected we lost.

It's high time the Club lined up the ARL Commission and its members...the buck stops with them...they're overseeing all this 'rubbish'.

[kurtsherlock6]

That was my understanding too.

I've never heard of a downgrade from 2 to 1 that results in a 3 week suspension going down to 1 week.

But if Fletch said it, it must be true.

[Vasco]

I thought it was 3 matches and only 2 with an early plea.

So we are back to square one?!?!
