Luke needs to miss the GF

[Spirit of 66]

I'm betting Sonny will appear to give evidence to the judiciary and will say that he was himself in some way responsible.

I wonder if Luke will use the "I was scared for my life" defence again or try the "Chewbacca" defence instead, the whole process is a circus really, does anyone actually believe he will get off.

different standards for the vermin, if its good enough for Blocker Roach/Ricko/Cam Smith to miss a GF due to suspension so should Luke.

could be very embarrassing for the NRL if the full strength vermin side play on sunday night, they will destroy the Bulldogs, no one wants to see another 40-0 GF result.

he might not be in the country, he is expect to start playing RU again this weekend.

I agree. On last night's performance, the Dogs barely deserve to be in the 8.

I can cop Luke playing if it means Burgess misses out

[Guest]

The judiciary's integrity on the line. Luke's hands clearly between the legs and SBW clearly in a dangerous position risking serious shoulder injury to avoid a serious neck injury.

Any "feed my children" nonsense from Luke, or "it was me bro" nonsense from SBW must be ignored.

according to the sunday roast SBW wasnt hurt so he should be left to play -_-. so it isnt untill someone breaks a bone that we will see Luke get punished.

[Guest]

Yeah ok. Lets punish the result and not the crime. McLean should be suspended for life. Other than that spear tackles should be a free-for-all with no consequence.

[Guest]

The rules are rules, they can't just pick and choose whether they suspend a player depending on what time of year it is. Bottom line is if he doesn't do something illegal then there is nothing to debate about. Cameron smith got suspended one grand final so Luke should be no exception.

Yep the grub should miss the GF Ricko missed one for a lesser tackle.

I'm trying to remember what Ricko did. Did he punch someone in defence of Finchy or something like that?

[Tommy Smith]

Pretty sure he punched Fien in the head.

It was a justified suspension. One which probably cost us a Premiership for people who remember how important Ricko was to that team.

But this is also a clear cut suspension. He'll get off, though.

Yep bit of a dog punch, from the side. Brain explosion.

That was a clear high swinging arm from burgess into SBW's jaw. Just plain hilarious the MRC chose to pretend it didn't happen.

Exactly my thoughts and it got SBW flush on the jaw..
Clear double standards
