?? Grading ??

Would Matai be let off it was him making the hit, I'm thinking not

Has SBW been up as often as Matai?

Hard to when you spend years bludging in RU

I noticed JWH did his usual cheap shot while a player was on the ground

Whatever happened to the shoulder charge on Foran the week before? Absolutely nothing. The NRL are absolutel muppets.

 

[globaleagle]

This'll be interesting for sure.

It was nothing but a lined up shoulder charge to the head.

For SBW to say the mason was milking is a pretty weak thing to say.

The rorters coach saying it wasn't a s-charge was, as said before, world class straw clutching.

I can almost hear politis' phone melting with the amount of calls he's making.

Prob a few bank accounts being fattened too.

 

[Captain Moondog]

It's not his go. Ask Andrew Johns.

Two weeks IMO.

 

[manlyfan76]

1- he has carry over 2- reckless? there is a case but they wont go there 3- contact the head? yes definitely 4- shoulder charge - of course it was.

So with loading a shoulder charge to the head has to be 3-4 weeks.

 

[Wolfpack]

If it was with a swinging arm rather than a shoulder I wonder how many weeks people would be talking.

It was a pretty dangerous shot IMO, never had any chance of doing any other than colliding with Mason's head. If the NRL are serious about enforcing the shoulder charge ban then they should throw the book at this example, which is pretty much the exact thing they put the rule in place to stop.

Nobody can be sure what way they are going to go with this, there is no consistency in the whole system or process.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Sonny Bill Williams is facing up to two games on the sidelines for his trademark shoulder charge on former teammate Willie Mason.

Roosters forward Williams has been charged with a grade-three offence for his 15th-minute hit on Newcastle counterpart Mason in their clash at Hunter Stadium.

Williams can escape with a two-match ban if he takes the early guilty plea but will be rubbed out for only one match if he successfully contests the charge.

[The Who]

If he successfully contest the charge why would he then be "rubbed out" for one week?

 

[Chip and Chase]

Successfully contests the grading of the charge I think is what they mean.

 

[master blaster]

Mason has a fractured cheekbone,but they are saying wasnt from that hit,yeah right,gotta look after SBW

 

[globaleagle]

......But in an interesting twist the match review committee did not deem the Williams hit to be a shoulder charge, with an NRL spokesman explaining that call was made because the player's arm was not tucked.




oh fmd! *figuratively*

 

[The Who]

That ruling is really tucked.

 

[globaleagle]

nrl doesn't want to shoulder responsibility when it comes to 'superstars.'

 

[MissKate]

I thought the ruling was you had to wrap the arms otherwise it was a shoulder charge. I guess different rules for some

 

[Chip and Chase]

The NRL just jumped the shark if they think that wasn't a shoulder charge.

 

[MadMarcus]

If Matai did that he would get 12 months.
