When it’s a rooster we get players banned finals or not. But May, Penrith's winger gets a suspended 2 week ban for being found guilty of assault. Something doesn’t seem right why Collins couldn’t serve his ban next season? One of the factors they took into account was he’d miss the finals. Why aren’t we given that consideration? I remember Slater was let off to play the GF but we had Luke Ricketson suspended for a grand final. So assault is ok for May to play in the finals but a bad tackle we get the book thrown at us. Looks like they’re going for a Penrith double. The rooster hate is so thick. JWH gets sin binned but the other player just gets warnings but stays on. About time our club lodged an official complaint of discrimination.

Absolutely right roosterchook. It's as disgracefully wrong decision the NRL administrator make. Appealing to the NRL about their own decisions and processes is likely to be ignored. Maybe media pressure will work? -
This decision is beyond belief, absolute madness.Comment

Agreed, Collins done the wrong thing, but I didn’t think it was a 4-week suspension at any stage. If throwing a defenceless, unaware 18yo to the ground from behind is only 2 weeks (& a delayed suspension at that), well Collins should be playing this weekend if all things are consistent.Comment

So bad. I laughed when I first heard it, thought it was a joke. Unbelievable that they thought this was a viable option…Red, White and Bluesters!!!Comment

Ridiculous again from the nrl. Incompetent run organisation. M Pearce got 8 weeks and $125,000 fine for being an idiot. It's all about business and keeping the west happy, the apparent heartland of the nrl. The Riff are good enough without getting another leg up.
The nrl... the gift that keeps on giving LOLComment

My understanding is that Collins got sent a letter about hip drops, which is why we didn't challenge it.
As in... it was probably a grade 1 or 2 at worst but it got upgraded.Comment

What you are saying they saw it as a grade 1 or 2 but because he was sent a letter about it after a previous hip drop incident they went **** it grade 3?Originally posted by ism22 View Post

Graham publicly stated that's a mechanism that they can use. Then... on Roosters Radio, Nick suggested he'd received a letter.Originally posted by The Lip View Post
Where have you been the last fortnight? These letters have been discussed widely as they are anal-guy's latest fetish.Comment

Yes Annersly said when addressing the blatant Munster elbow on Walker. They get a letter and if it happens again they get a higher grade.Originally posted by ism22 View Post

It's all about filling the coffers from merchandise sales. What's the bet Parra will win this year? Generations of their fans who have never seen them win..imagine how much merchandise they will buy if they do win. We still have a memorial bottle of something or other which belonged to Dad will Premiers 81' 82 & 83 slapped on the label.Originally posted by crikey chris View Post"Those who care about you can hear you, even when you are quiet" - Steve MaraboliComment

Yeah I know the letters exists - I just didn't know and still don't that you can receive an upgraded grading because you got one. I don't think it works that way mate. Even if you get extra weeks for any tackle they still grade it what they believe the tackle was and then you get loading on top - they don't look at it and say it's a grade one but we will call it grade three because of your priors - they say it's a grade one which is one week but because of your priors it's 3 weeksOriginally posted by ism22 View PostLast edited by The Lip; 09-07-2022, 09:44 AM.Comment

They guys on NRL 360 last night absolutely went off on this, and I'm with them! Lindsay Collins gets 4 weeks for tackling around the legs like has been done for generations. Mitchell Pearce got months for pretending something. Jack de Belin missed two seasons and was found not guilty. This clown attacks a person in public from behind and throws him on a concrete floor, hitting a garbage bin and gets TWO WEEKS!.....and OH, DON'T WORRY, THERE'S SEMI-FINALS COMING UP AND YOU CAN SERVE THE FIRST TWO GAMES NEXT YEAR!.....Mind boggling and disgraceful!!!!!!!!!Comment

I couldn’t believe it when this was mentioned on NRL 360 last night. So the Riff are teacher’s pets, as BB would say. I thought this only applied to the golden child Cleary but it seems it stretches to the whole club.Comment
