The Untouchables.

Remember when Doug had his own breakfast cereal? Mullos. I had a bowl every morning

I thought I was the only one.

With due respect, the Radley incident was at a more crucial and obvious point of the game then the other incidents mentioned. I agree with the sentiment of your comments though

Yes fair point HC

Can someone tell me why lashing out with your boot in a tackle, and breaking another players jaw, isn't "dangerous contact".?
Why the fu#K isn't the Ref putting this on report? Where's the MRC?
Yet one of our players gets suspended 3 weeks for a charge down?
No wonder I am seriously losing interest in this Sham of a game.
The roosters are down on too many troops this year to make a huge push for the title.
And if we play well, as a team in the finals, we will still get knocked out, the referee bias against us will ensure it happens.
My guess is that the ref for the upcoming Souffs game will be one of Ashley Clown, Ben the Cheat Cummins, or Gerard "Amnesia" Sutton , who Sin Bins our player (JWH) and conveniently forgets to rule the same way against our opposition, later in the game..

I wonder if the Souffs prop, Koloamatangi, will cop a suspension for the crusher that Penrith milked last night? It was very similar to the Angus tackle - the Penrith player twists around mid tackle and leaves the tackler in the crusher position. He was put on report, so presumably he'll get the same charge as Angus. Or maybe not.

Koloamatangi copped 2 matches with an early guilty plea for crusher tackle..

I can’t believe Cody Walker didn’t get charged for a blatant swinging arm to a players head..

I am beginning to wonder if Penrith is deliberately engineering these penalties/suspensions. They struggle hard to get themselves in this position and there's always another player nearby ready to beg for the penalty.

This was a blatant milk, in fact the Panthers player put himself in this position. Maybe the NRL can bring in simulation rules similar to soccer.
Also, how was the accidental knee to Mansour's face? Was this any different to accidental contact from an arm or, perhaps, accidentally coming on contact with a players legs after he kicks the ball?

Now that i think about it, didnt the Panthers do a massive crusher on Joey Manu when he was trying to get out of his own in goal?
This is becoming a trend. the Panthers kick the ball to the opponents try line and gang tackle with knees, crushers, what ever they line and the refs let them get away with it. No wonder Mansour was 'uncomfortable' under the high ball last night.

Yes, that was Kikau on Manu. Pressure applied to head and neck twice in the same tackle. It was one of those ones that got the silent treatment from Annusley.. I don't know if there is an actual Crusher charge but if it wasn't a Crusher it was Dangerous Contact.

“Dangerous Contact – Head/Neck” – means misconduct on the part of a Player constituted by carelessly, recklessly or intentionally making dangerous contact with the head or neck of an opposing player

Likewise, Welch is cleared of wrong doing when leading with his head and contacting Walker in the head while applying kick pressure. No case to answer because it was not deemed deliberate. Victor on the other hand receives a Dangerous Contact charge for making contact attempting a charge down..

The naïve could make a case for Kikau or Welch on the grounds the contact was accidental, but I cant see how you could say those incidents weren't careless or reckless. It doesn't need to be intentional. Same could be said for Latrell lashing out with the boot. Again, maybe not intentional but definitely careless and reckless.

Hard to understand why the charges are so inconsistently or selectively applied.

Because it wasn't a Roosters player.
Would have thought that was obvious.
