I figure Brandon Smith will be out - A New Back Injury along with the ongoing Ribs injury - with a bye in Round 4 it will give B Smith a couple of weeks off before the Round 5 Parramatta Game

[Jarlicho]

JWH has to start. He’s no good off the bench, comes on seeing red & has less self control than usual.

[TryColours]

Any concern over Suaalii report?

Won't find out until tomorrow on Suaalii - If out you know what they could mean

JWH has to start. He’s no good off the bench, comes on seeing red & has less self control than usual.

JWH is always a slow starter to the season, every year by Round 5 the Chookpen has him retired, sacked or hung in public.

[Rooster_6]

Any concern over Suaalii report?

Looked bad, in his defence because the ball player threw the pass back on the inside Suaalii would’ve had no idea he released the ball as he was coming from inside out and expecting to see the ball released to the outside attackers. Not sure how much consideration will be given to the circumstances of the tackle though.

[Moose]

Any concern over Suaalii report?

i think they'll argue he couldnt see the ball was released

Hutchinator redemption in the centres!

[King Salvo]

Suuallii was charged with Dangerous Contact Grade 1 ( leading with knees ) in the finals match last season and was fined $1800 which is a Dangerous Contact Grade 1 second offence fine if you take the early guilty plea.

He received a warming letter 2 weeks prior to this incident for the same thing - I figure the warning letter has been treated as a first offence where the fine is $1500 or $1000 if the player enters an early guilty plea.

Dangerous Contact Grade 1 3rd offence is 2 games or $3000

Dangerous Contact Grade 2 first offence is 2 matches or 1 match if the player enters an early guilty plea

I can’t handle another 80mins of Egan Butcher….

Egan will come good - he was very good last year in my opinion.

[Tommy Smith]

Surely the NRL want to see Suaalii vs Souffs.

Itd be stupid to ban him for a minor hit.

[ism22]

Any concern over Suaalii report?

Informally I'd be thinking a fine at most?

Real time it looked unnecessary but (IMO) not the sorta thing that results in a penalty (let alone a suspension).

Slow-time I think he was fooled because he couldn't see the ball and assumed the guy (who turned his back to him while doing what he assumed was a pump) still had the ball. He didn't so in real time this resulted in him tackling a guy later from the back.

IMO there was no malice. Careless at worst and I dunno! IMO 9/10 times it's not even a penalty. If he's suspended then I reckon it's stupid.

[Andrew Walker]

Potentially you only have another 1500 minutes to go this season

[King Salvo]

Egan Butcher , Baker and the Hutchinator a must for the 17 each week.
