Will JWH be banned from finals?

[roosterchook]

Looking at how the NRL has fined us for speaking up against lack of protection of our players and now going after JWH, is there any level this corrupt organisation will not stoop to in order to victimise those who speak the truth? How many rooster players have had heads attacked with only petty penalties issued? How many rooster players have been suspended? How many of our players have been hospitalised because our opponents know we can be targeted without repercussions? Add to that the most penalised team in the comp. 6 agains? Sin bins?

Please feel free to add more to this list. It infuriates many that channel 9, not only are applauding the hit on Manu but lodged a complaint attempting to get JWH banned. There is such a thing called privacy but ch9 don’t respect that law. Don’t be surprised if they rub out JWH from the finals. A 2 match suspension would likely do that.

Not because of his actions on Friday night but if we end up playing the vermin again I can't guarantee anything.

I can promise you if JWH gets banned for swiping a bloke's camera away when trying to get up close to film Joey's face after he has been hit with a 'car crash' force type of hit that broke 3 bones in his face and ended his season on the spot I will not watch another game of nrl this year

I think we're being a bit melodramatic here. He might get a fine or a please explain and a warning but that will be the extent of it

Hope so. It’s just that we never know with this mob. A fine should be enough if at all. The integrity unit make up their own rules.

And here i was thinking "well the good news about JWH being out is at least he cant be suspended for the semi finals"

lol
What about those that still think we can win the comp.

It will be interesting to see which way this pans out.

Will the refs subconsciously give the Roosters more penalties? Or will they go harder?

Corey Parker witnessed the events from the sideline next to the players and spoke well of the Roosters. Souffs accusing Robbo of abusing Arrow is their go. Corey denied this happened.
Mind you the NRL is famous for finding charges against us.
JWH fined for not setting a foot on the playing field. That will top the list and surpass Napa’s leading with the head

[Random Rooster]

If i was JWH id take the early plea now!

[Big Dog]

So, will our players now be unfairly targeted by the officials for any kind of indiscretion? Oh wait, that's already happening.

My reading is that the $40k covered all of the various allegations and was a token 'just pay up and move on' situation.

I'm happy to accept this without challenge, noting that it's chump change for Nick and Bouris to scrape together (and isn't an admission to any specific misconduct, it's just an F-U payment).

Depends who refs. G Sutton or Cummins?

I feel to accept this without challenge makes us look like we are the ones that created this mess.
The NRL need to take full responsibility for it.

Hi mate. Is that what the dispute with the cameraman was about? I'll give it away too if so
