Slaters shoulder charge, gooone.

[RoosterFanNZ]

All media and judiciary panel members asked to leave the room. Final comments to come soon before deliberation commences. Outcome not far off

[roosterchook]

What else could he have done? A conventional tackle with both arms is what he could’ve done but CHOSE a shoulder charge to make absolutely sure the try was not scored. Player safety never came into it. All slater thought about was stopping the try and if he gets away with it he’ll do it to us because he can’t be suspended as he’s retiring.

the way this NRL prosecutor was portrayed I have visions of Jackie Chiles the character in Seinfeld.

[rented tracksuit]

This hearing is going to cause more damage to the NRL brand than just about anything else over the past decade if he is cleared.

[roosterchook]

So our wingers are going to be shoulder charged ‘legally on Sunday?

[fletch]

Now theyre arguing he didnt put the balm on!

lol I just mentioned Jackie Chiles from Seinfeld

I’ve seen plenty of bullshit in my life but this is outstanding. At the end of this case, arise sir billy

I remember when I was playing union I tackled a player around the legs at full speed running along the sidelines. If I did it then why could the grub do it?

Don’t you know Slater wins everything.

[The Brain]

Tell our fowards to tackle with their pecks its a beauty

[The Axe]

Counsel is no dope for nrl. He is senior counsel or qc in old speak. Rookie at nrl level

[roosterchook]

Is the shoulder charge about to be reintroduced? So it’s ok to knock wingers into Disneyland only don’t do it to front rowers. What a farce.

[The Brain]

Don’t you know Slater wins everything.

The nrl doesnt want to pay 25 bucks to get the churcill medal re-engraved

Is the shoulder charge about to be reintroduced?

No. It wasn't a shoulder charge. Can't you see? It was Feki brutally attacking our Billy.

Is the shoulder charge about to be reintroduced?

Interesting question. If Slater allowed to play then they have set a precedent that permits shoulder charges as long as opposing hand makes first contact.
