**** off Hasler you pest. He is a whinging dickhead. Go away.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Duty of care almost demands that the players will end up wearing helmets. I can see it happening in my lifetime for sure.

Am I the only one who thinks des may indeed himself require a helmet when the dogs play at brookie.

(I am only joking and not Inciting violence)

I was going to write the exact same thing but you beat me to it Cambo!

A careless tackle a week at least.

Maybe crancky frankie should put the same shoulder charge on des and then see what Des thinks.

 

[wizball1973]

Only Des? Their whole forward pack will. Look at our pack, then their lot. What a joke.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Forget helmets put them in AFL skirts.

 

[Joey]

Is he referring to helmets like the NFL? because if he stopped for a second and read a scientific or NFL report regarding helmets and injuries he'd retract that douchebaggery spew of a comment.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Full body armour seems the way to go, or perhaps they can all play in individual plastic bubbles?

 

[tookey]

The judiciary agrees as Frankie has got a week spell.

Sumo suits. Problem solved.

Sumo suits. Problem solved.

Dogler has already got the helmut haircut so why wouldn't he want a hewlmut to go with it

However Des chooses to use his tongue is completely up to him and possibly Todd Greenberg.

pritchard didnt care that he hurt simmons,he thought it was funny

In all serious not true he actually went over to make sure he was ok after he had scored the try.

Was the hit intentional? NO
Does that sort of hit have the potiental to severely brain damage or even kill? YES

That's why frank was suspended.

10 years ago it would of got him 3 dally m points but times have changed.

 

[Ryan]

Rugby League players already have helmets (voluntary) in head gear (remember Beaver anyone?).

That's good enough.

Also, shoulder charges to the dome should be outlawed. If it's accepted, attacking players should be able to brace for the shot with an arm, meaning a tackler may cop a random elbow.

You want to hit like that, take the risk.

yes dessie is just following up on the opsm offer to the touchie with a bit of sarcasm.
