Nathan Brown 1 Match suspension

[Team Evil]

The deal should be if it’s 10 in the bin, a send off or someone lays down claiming they got hit high then it’s an automatic HIA. If they’re saying he hit him high & forceful then surely the player must be off for assessment or they’re cheating or not backing up their own laws of the game.

Completely agree.

That anomaly is further proof (if any was needed) there is an agenda, and it's not about fairness.

A gold coast titans player just did the exact same thing and Ben Cummins only put him on report not even a sin bin. The inconsistency in the NRL is frustrating

What was this idiot thinking? The game was in the bag (for once). Does he think Robbo rewards idiotic behavior from our forwards, that could cost us the game/the season? Whoever signed him and Napa should be on top of the list of the review (that is not) taking place.

Brown is playing for a contract and his future hence the intensity imo.

He does have that hard edge to his game which can be beneficial with control.

I think they got a wheel in the bunker they spin when the look at those shoulder into the head tackles - divided into " On Report" "Sent off" " 10 min in the bin" and "pretend you didn't see". As soon as they go upstairs they spin that wheel and wherever it lands thats the decision

Then the wheel is weighted against the Roosters

Left the ground both feet, no intent to wrap the arms, shoulder direct to the head. Wasn't Radley, Nathan Brown or JWH so not even a penalty

Strangely enough, even though the send off was a blatant error and could have cost us the game if a decent score buffer wasn't on, I think that the send off has worked in Nathan's favour. The MRC have probably reviewed the incident and realised that the on-field decision was a mistake and over-the-top especially in comparison to Val Holmes, so the MRC could charge him nothing more than "one game" only as a fair punishment.


Better than expected, I say !

I'm happy with a 1 week suspension, although it proves that this wasn't a reckless grade 3. It was still high and I think just the 1 week (plus nothing for Robbo pretty much calling Klein's reffing a crock of shyte - which is was) is the closest that we're gonna get to an olive branch from Anusley.

Side note - I think it's actually the bunker (Atkins) that farked up in this case as he said "the issue is you’ve run out of the line with intent there, you’ve left the ground, you are off". To me this reads as 'you were jamming in, which we made it clear we'd be targeting... OFF!!!'

During the week, Anusley did a presser where he mentioned jamming in and gave multiple examples of it. The message I got was that he wants to warn people that if you fly off your line to try and 'jam' the dummy half with a swinging arm (e.g. if JWH flies out 20m in front of the team to snap a flat-footed centre as he's still catching the ball) then you're in trouble as some bean counter's identified this as a serious HIA risk.

Problem is, Brown wasn't flying 20m off his line to throw a swinging arm at a little dude who was flat-footed!!!!! Also he wasn't trying to change the momentum of the game but 'jamming' a little guy early!!!! WE HAD THE FARKING MOMENTUM!!!! Manly was going nowhere (don't think they'd even scored a try - we'd just wrongfully had a try disallowed [double movement my arse!!!] that woulda put the cue in the rack) and Manly were down to 12 on the field.

It was just a textbook high shot (which is what the charge sheet has said). HOW did Atkins not get the mail about what 'jamming in' entails? I watched Anusley's footage (unlike Atkins I didn't meet the guy all week + chat to him about this) and it was pretty frigging obvious what Anusley was looking for. This simply wasn't an example of it!!!

Luai plays for Penrith, so that doesn’t count

[Qld Chook]

Luai got charged a grade 1 careless high tackle which only carries a fine, Browns was grade 2. How they determine these is beyond me.

Luai’s looked really bad to me, left the ground with direct contact with the head. Just lucky Nelson has a tough melon. I’d consider Luai’s the worse of all over the weekend.

Luau hit the guys head full on...... Brown didn't hit the head at all..... shouldn't have even been a sin bin, absolute bull shiit. As was the Crowding penalty against JWH, and the strip on Radley, and the letting off of DCE for the same so called crowding...... some incidents in that game were horrific examples of bias or downright cheating.

No no, we all only imagined we just saw that. NRL sees everything and there's nothing to see here.

[player 1]

Can roosters defend Brown and at least embarrass the NRL by showing that Luai tackle over and over again?

The roosters way doesn't work. Nobody thinks we're nice guys for playing fair.
