Mitchell Grade 1

[The Axe]

I don't know the letter of the law but I'm hoping we're going to the judiciary because we can win, not just because it doesn't cost Latrell anything. Hoping we mount a smarter case than we did for Ricko when he was charged before the 04 GF, which included arguments like Ricko wanted to play in Freddy's last game and the team had made a pact to stand up for each other on the field.


We're not playing for peanuts here - we need seriously good counsel.

Id like you Zac to present the case

I don't know about that Axe, but you'd want someone to go in there and try to put doubt into the judiciary's minds. Insufficient camera angles, Dugan running with his back turned to the defence, Dugan's history of feigning injury, no great force by Mitchell directly to Dugan's neck, no actual damage to Dugan … That sort of thing.

When is the hearing?

[roosterchook]

Ricky in a GF, now Napa in a final and preliminary and Mitchell suspended for a prelim. Doesn’t it just disgust how relentless and biased the system is against the roosters?

Rugby League is being choked to death by over officialdom and over administration for every small matter. For God’s sake let the teams fight it out and may the best one win not because of penalties, not because of suspensions but because they’re the best. The way it’s headed the best never win because they are disadvantaged by suspensions.

When is the hearing?

my thoughts exactly

[Bmw06i]

Am I missing something ????

All I have been hearing on Foxtel is Mitchel’s tackel is identical with Chambers.

There are completly different

When is the hearing?

Tomorrow night

what i find funny is that another rooster gave away the same type of penalty but it has not been cited because the media and the keyboard warriors dont believe he is as important for us as latrell so the MRC have just ignored it

[kakaruk]

What about the sharks supporters that were throwing stuff at latrell? a 5 year ban would be appropriate imo.But the nrl doesn't seem to be doing much to identify them.

Who? There was another Shark laydown for a penalty but I dont think it was given.

[Waerea-Beast!]

If Dugan didn't stay down, the MRC don't charge him. In the game where Chambers got banned, he put in another tackle very similar to LM's which he wasn't cited for...

If latrell is suspended its probably our season done and dusted.With napa also out i dont think we can win it.There is a chance though ,all of us should be hoping that Souths and the dragons belt the living daylights out of each-other and are not at full strength when they play us.We will be fresh thats our only chance imo.

We will still have a better squad than our opponents, so don't fret.

Seriously? We are better than 1 to 2 players out.
We are up, playing well and have the confidence atm.

He will be suspended for 1 week, in all fairness he only has himself to blame for the stupid cannon ball tackle the week before.

Its a team sport if all the team turns up to play than Roosters will win. Stop being soooooo negative.
