Surprised Smith wasnt cited for high shot on Pearce

[Rooster_6]

Lol jokes no I'm not.

It's Cam Smith. He can kick players in head and not even cop a week.

[roosterproud]

what next. Teflon kid getting away with a shoulder charge. never. its like sliding in with your knees

[Chooky Chookerson]

Yeh, it was clearly a penalty... Even at origin level. And anyone else would have been cited for that.

[Rooster_6]

Its been a grade 1 all year. There wasnt a whole lot in it but it was a grade 1 every day of the week.

I wonder if the MRC took into Account that he's on 97 carry over points and any charge would mean a game missed

[roostersrule2]

He definitely should have missed the season with his carry over points.

I hope Pearce hits him on Monday.

[ROC181]

It was a love tap...Otherwise Pearce would have stayed down...right?

Yeah right.

The result of that will be that cat lays down and Pearce misses a game.

Thurston also threw in a trip that went missing.

Slater, GI, Thurston and Smith... the Teflon Men of Rugby League.

This shows that Daley is a shit-for-brains coach. Time NSW grew some balls and dished out this crap to Queersland. Don't care if we lose, would love to see these grubs taken out.

What about the Slater Shoulder charge on Dugan?

There's been trouble trying to locate Slater's name in the MRC database for some time now.

You won't find it. Nor Smith, nor Parker. All first class grubs. Knees, elbows and forearms.

Please. He didn't change his line at all. He's entitled to brace himself whilst a 100kg bloke runs at him. The forearm to the back was dirty but you expect it in origin.

I don't get the people on this forum. Everyone wants the shoulder charge back. We want to see the biff. We want the gladiatorial aspect of league back. But as soon as our team loses and a hint of foul play occurs we cry for the rule book. Can't have it both ways. I thought this origin was a bit soft but nsw have no one to blame but themselves for losing.

Wanting to the rule book to be consistent for all teams and players and wanting the rule book to change are two mutually exclusive causes.

I'm not sure why that's hard to understand?

[Bigchook]

I'm not debating that. Which is why I said it wasn't a penalty regardless of who it was. I hate slater as much as anyone and do think he's a grub but in that instance he clearly stood his line and braced himself and it was definitely not a shoulder charge.
