Nrl an F/=&#n disgrace

The whole media theatre of the NRL is so predictable as well as tiresome. It’s what the media ownership and the NRL want to generate further income for themselves.

Why miss the first 2 rounds? Can’t he serve them in the trials like all others have done in the past? Still I think he should appeal the severity of the grading.

They changed that a while back - Trials and Auckland 7's don't count towards any carry over suspension from the previous season or in this case post season games

Players suspended for offences considered minor can play in the trials and resume the suspension when the competition proper resumes.

Of course the anomaly is a player can be charged and suspended for an offence committed in a trial game though.

Also the League approved the all star game to count as a suspension game - Both Latrell Mitchell and Brandon Smith were able to count the all star game in 2022 as one of their suspension games

I’m overseas at the moment so I’m not across what’s happening back home so has Gus been suspended or is everyone jumping the gun a bit here.

Agree its a joke . Off ball play and nothing in it .

He hit him in the head with an elbow.

[bondi.boy]

He should have just stood there and let tevita hammer him

He should've palmed him off.

[Rooster1908]

He hit him in the head with an elbow.

But only once . If he meant any malice he would have had another go . Besides whos side are you on lol

They are going for a downgrade, but even Daley said this morning, he doesn’t see how it gets downgraded when he knocked him out with a forearm to the head.

I like Angus, but he needs to stop doing that.
He's been suspended for that type of thing before?
WHY weren't other players cited for high tackles, swinging forearms to heads, especially on Teddy..."he (Teddy) slipped", "he (Teddy) was falling"...any excuse to whack Teddy in the head.
What did the refs do? Absolutely nothing.

Its a fast physical game BB & that means people get whacked in the head.
If players dont like being whacked in the head & fans dont like seeing players get whacked in the head then there is always the ballet.

Ban reduced to 1 game suspension …

The League and Clubs are required by law to protect the health and well being of their employers and players also have a duty of care to other players

How many players would sign a waiver to voluntary relinquishment or surrender their legal rights to litigation against the league/clubs/players for injuries sustained either playing and or training?

I doubt any player would

Jarryd McCracken was successful in his litigation against the Melbourne Storm and 2 Storm players ( Marcus Bai and Stephen Kearney) for a spear tackle that ended his career - neck injury

Darryl Brohman successfully sued Les Boyd for the Broken jaw incident in a SOO game in 1983.


Ballet folk train 6 to 7 hours per day 6 days a week - takes on average 9 years to be at the professional level required. - more demanding physically than playing or participating in most sports.

Or the boxing. If it’s like the Zerafa fight, no one got hit in the head!

Love to see one of physically demanding ballet performers you speak of run at JWH.

Would this not have been an international match review committee, not the NRL?
