Any news on JWH on report v dogs

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Totally agree but we all know JWH isn't judged the same as other players in the NRL.

He's judged more harshly by a minority of our fans than the judiciary though. A few thought he should be suspended last time but the judiciary disagreed.

Don't forget the MRC did actually charge him, if he is found guilty this week for his hit on Cogger he is sitting on an 80% loading on his next charge.

There is nothing wrong with appreciating what JWH has done for the club while still being critical of his recent reckless actions.

Surely they will just take the early plea, one game, prevent the carry over points ...robbo will back the young fellas against the titans

Will be a tough task though, titans are desperate and no starting front row is a big handicap

However if you had to choose a team to play missing players you'd have to choose the titans - they are miles behind others, even the dogs who have had much improvement

I didn't want to make that point (we don't want to take the Titans lightly) but, yeah, you'd sacrifice JWH playing this weekend if it meant he had slightly less carryovers.

That said, if our experts think he can win, then having JWH play would be good and would also make the MRC aware that they should be aware that JWH is not a punching bag.

Cronk has been hit like that 3 times this year and nothing.
So inconsistent!

I said the same thing Evil. I’m sure if Jared took Coops out in a bit of friendly fire the MRC would charge him though!

I think JWH is getting pulled up on his ubridled aggression more than the acts committed. So I would challenge it just like the last two where he has been exonerated. The MRC seem to be playing it safe and then the judiciary over ruling on the evidence.

BUT.......if there's one time to take the week off and plead guilty it's this week with the Gold Coast match scheduled. I realise that both starting props certainly and possibly Butcher could be sidelined but if we can't chalk up a win against the Titans in disarray then forget about hoisting the JJG Shield in 2019.

We still have Zane Tetevano, Isaac Lui can play upfront. And then their is the Farmer and Lindsay Collins, who improved his form at the Bears. It's all good experience as we never know when their services will be needed again. And with that lead in line...I'm out of here.

I didn't know they both owned calves?

Anyway - injuries to these animals, shouldn't stop them playing..

The calf connection to both is unusual as neither player is known for obvious milking.

And I agree with your point about owning the animals being of little consequence.

Perhaps the real reason is tendon more toward the Achilles?

Are we talking about Lamb?

[Cockadoodledoo]

You would expect injured calves when there is a Butcher in the squad.

So we can assume that you believe the judiciary get it right every single time? You don't think in the context of SST going off injured a short time earlier that it might not have been a good idea for JWH to try and show a little restraint?

I don't want him showing restraint, but would assume (given the verdict) that any actions he took were appropriate. In regards to the judiciary getting it right, I and many others thought the charge was somewhat frivolous from the outset. So no not all the time, but yes that time.

Could end up on a kitchen bench like an Angus.

[Johnny Tobin]

If he farts in the dressing room it’s two weeks.

[Team Evil]

JWH should fight the charge!
His feet never move, he held his ground the entire time.
Prosecution will say he dropped his shoulder
Defence will say he was just bracing for impact to make a proper tackle, what would you like him to do move out of the way?
Case closed sir nothing to answer

[Vasco]

If you can't accept JWH is a ticking time bomb I don't know what to say, at some point he has to understand he is hurting the team with his unnecessary acts.

He has brought a massive spotlight on himself and the MRC will take any opportunity they can to rub him out for even the smallest offense, he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt other players receive.

It's a big problem.

It's inevitable that he will miss a finals game or possibly a GF due to his ill discipline.

I reckon his days in the tricolours are numbered.
