Need Jared to get off tonight

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Will make an enormous difference to our chances on Saturday and make the $3.20 price against Penrith look juicy as hell. Should be $1.90 each of two imo. I can't even recall the incident he was charged for. I know it's miss a week regardless of plead guilty or fight it and lose, but is he a chance to get off?

I’ve only seen one angle, and it looked line ball as to whether his first contact was above or below the knee. He certainly didn’t come in with excessive force. It was on Nathan Brown in the 7th minute if you want to check it out for yourself.

Waerea-Hargreaves's lawyer James McLeod brands the incident as an "unremarkable", "legitimate tackle" that was "definitely not a cannonball" because Brown was still making ground.

McLeod declares that JWH contacted Brown's "left hip area or upper thigh on the ball carrier … clearly not knee or knee joint, clearly not marginally above the knee or knee joint".

With Brown making post-contact metres as he backed upfield, McLeod argues that it was entirely reasonable for his client to become involved in the tackle.

"You don't get a 'spearing down into the knee area' - you get player Waerea-Haregreaves slipping down to make a legs tackle," McLeod says.

"The ball-carrier was still progressing up the field … this tackle was not completed. Mr McGrath was wrong when he said the ball-carrier was 'pretty much marking time, marching on the spot'.

"This is not an example of a tackle being complete … and a third man in coming in unnecessarily.

"So, what does the evidence actually reveal? … it makes good the propositions that this is not dangerous contact and it's not careless."

He notes that Brown was uninjured.

The video I've seen shows it to be a completely innocuous tackle. If he gets suspended for that it's a travesty.

Seriously, the match review committee must have been off their heads.

How many times this year have we had players cleared at the judiciary must be up to 4-5 times already.
