NRL 2021: ARLC boss Peter V’landys issues stern warning on foul play in the finals

This guy is a kunt and needs to go. Now.

Correction, napo.

This guy is a kunt and needs to go. Now.

No chance. He is protected by News even more than Ricky Stuart.

I have no idea of the rationale here!!! The biggest games of the year with the most eye balls from non regulars...yet you make it easy to diminish the product!

I never wanted Slater to miss the 2018 GF... nobody should miss these games unless they are savage deliberate attempts to hurt somebody.

The rationale of the NRL should be to ensure we have the best players on the field every week no matter what unless they are seriously dangerous.

Some players in the middle make 800 plus tackles a year (Would that be an assessment?) in congested traffic with others coming in underneath etc and out of those 800 tackles, less than 1 percent go wrong due to unfortunate circumstances. And they can add up to a GF suspension or the likes!!IT'S RIDICULOUS!!!

The players are not thugs generally and we know the bad tackles that deserve a rest!!! They are very rare!!!

You sure are a bright spark Tesla.

The judiciary needs a massive overhaul. For mine all grade ones and twos should be fines only and no suspensions. Fine the player. Don't punish the fans or the product. But that won't happen.

Yes that would make sense if the MRC did their job properly. Remember Fatrell's dog shot on Joey was only classed as grade 2.

> The NRL’s Bunker and match officials have been pilloried for failing to send-off Mitchell, fuelling a belief the code has gone soft over the zero-tolerance crackdown on high shots that began during Magic Round in May.
But V’landys insists NRL referees have been given a firm edict not to tolerate head-trauma attacks and will take action over acts of foul play that could derail a team’s premiership ambitions.

...

> “The crackdown has not stopped, what’s happening is players are complying and there is a lot less contact above the neck.

1. I bet this results in one of our players being sent-off at a crucial moment for something far less serious. We'll have to be extra careful and this will make playing the Titans quite challenging as we know they're now in the hunt for somebody to make an example outta (most likely Rads, JWH or Crichton... all of whom will be ruled outta the finals with a grade 1 ANYTHING due to loading from this year's crackdown on them).

2. Lackey-lard-arse, I know you don't watch footy but you should watch Ravalawa maaaate! The crackdown (which basically involved coming down hard on Victor Radley over a piece of BS... twice) isn't just over, it never really existed because all you did was highlight one team in order to make a point that you're being tough. People don't want crackdowns or new rules... they want CONSISTENCY for once! Wouldn't that be nice. CONSISTENCY rather than making up rules/punishments on the run.

PVL forgot which sport he was dealing with. Jockeys get the riot act read before big races to prevent serious accidents. Fair enough.

We don't need this for League. In either a publicity or safety context. Lose the brutality of League, you lose your market edge. Wake up Petey.

You can bet when this happens to Radley, if he accidently catches someone high, they will suspend him for the rest of the finals series,.
They will justify the suspension on the basis of Radley's past rap sheet, and because of that , an illegal hit by him must have been intentional.
Yet, they couldn't find intention when Fatrell smashed Joey Manu's cheekbone into a multitude of fragments.
Fark me, these guys are full of bullshit.

I would be happy if he copped a fine of, say, 10% of his wages for the season and was still playing because that's what I would want for someone like Victor

One thing I can guarantee is that he will be binned for the slightest indiscretion.

Might as well have an Oz Tag grand final. The NRL is killing itself from within. Dumb Phuckers!

No , you have made a slight mistake here.
Rads will not get binned for the slightest indiscretion.
He will get burned for the slightest indiscretion.

Can't wait to see the highlight reels of swan dives and neck rubs for the finals series. What a spectacle it will be for the fans. The Greatest Feign of All.

The Panthers are the worst in doing it I was a big fan of their play last year but now I can't stand them, if we can't do it I never thought I'd say it ever but I would cheer for Manly should we get knocked out because I can't stand the rest.

[HDTONE]

All very nice, BUT.....there's a difference between deliberate or very reckless swinging arm and shoulder charge high tackles and a tackle with no force behind it that might accidentally connect with the head. One that wouldn't even ruffle Barbie's hair and for which "penalty sufficient" should apply.

True bro ......unless you're Victor or JWH. I expect us to get smashed in that after that article this week saying that we got way more penalties and 50/50's last week. I guessing they need to show no Chook soft touch but the usual hardass calls and line ball decisions going the other way.
But we only do our best and that means for one respecting possession and nothing stupid that can get one of ours binned.

Whatever happened to that pussy Euan Aitken? He used to make it a yearly ritual to dive on Anzac Day get the match winning 2 points for the merge

An empire toppled by its enemies can rebuild (Aka Superleague) but one that crumbles from within (CEO who has no idea what he's doing) is dead forever.
