King pleads guilty to 'hip drop' ahead of judiciary hearing

[40 years an eagle]

How can you plead guilty to a charge before the charge and grading have even been determined?
Something smells fishy here.

Maybe the Drizzle don’t want him revealing anything at the judiciary.

They have the off-season to develop some new moves.

Ive met him and his old man, not a terrible person.

So if the judiciary slaps him with a 10 week grade 5 he has already pled guilty to it.

Same thing Paulo got charged for , but he got 75 points. Will be interesting to see how this gets graded

What are these cuts up to

Max King was banned for three games for a 'hip drop' tackle.

King is unlikely to play for Melbourne throughout the upcoming NRL finals series after being banned for three matches for a hip-drop tackle on Dragons prop Blake Lawrie.

King entered an early guilty plea to making dangerous contact in the 30-22 loss to the Dragons at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium. Tuesday night's judiciary panel merely had to determine the severity of the tackle and a penalty because King was referred directly to Tuesday's hearing from Sunday's game.

He was handed a 500-point penalty but with a 25% discount he will miss three games.

Absolute joke, there shouldn't be a 25% discount for this sort of incident and he should have got 6 weeks minimum.

If this is the NRL's strategy to stamp out the hit drop tackle then it's a total failure.
