JWH charged

[Roostarz]

"Match review committee has spoken to South Sydney over Sam Burgess' actions last Friday night."

I know I'm in the minority here but I think that the charge is correct. It was very close to being nasty. Reflex reaction from JWH and not intentional but it still happened. Pomeroy should have also been charged. The League stuffed up & they have now put themselves in a very awkward situation.

I don't like it any more than most of you here that he might be suspended but I ask you how would you feel if it was one of our players on the receiving end of it? No case to answer? I think not.

The one I am really peeved at is the eye gouge from squirrel. Unbelievable.

Flame away.

[The Brain]

How many of our players have contested and won?

I can't recall too many.

Last one I know of was Finch!

Finch? what he get taken to the judiciary for? throwing passes into the grandstand rendering people unconcious.
Which brings to mind a story Wingy told me ages ago how Stuart ordered the players to take defnsive positions on the field so Finchy could do some kicking practice -all the players all headed to the grandstand to catch the ball which pissed Finch off and was funny

[bondi-boy]

This is BS! Robbo needs to address the media and say how this doesnt cut it. He should go on the record and say on Saturday if Pearce eye gouges Foran just innocously that should be ok going by the precedent set.

That alone should frighten the review panel kents... Coz they are basically saying its all good what Burgess did so any other player doing it should be ok too.

Burgess, convicted of grabbing and squeezing the testicles [or is it testes?] of another player
IMO the lowest act possible.
Should've been suspended for a very long time.
He wasn't.
Says it all.

Now alleged eye-gouging, and alleged kicking.
Protected species, it seems.

I agree. As I said the Roosters / JWH is paying for the stuff=up over the Pomeroy charge.

Burgess getting off doesn't surprise me in the least. He's been getting away with grubby / foul tactics since he's been here. His striking charges seem to only ever cost him 1 or 2 weeks where others seem to cop more. As others have said, if Jimmy had carried on like a pork chop and started a melee it may have been a different story though.

wish we were spoken to.... One rule for Souffs. One rule book for us.

Classic.

Can't believe Finch got off and played in the 2004 GF.

We would have won!

although I think tony is an idiot, I have to agree with him when he says this:

You and Tony are way off the mark I know of some highly respected and successful people who think the same One who is an administrator in another sport closely affiliated with Rugby League was only telling me on the phone today How he believed the referees were refereeing in a manner to manufacture results which they thought were for the betterment of the game overall I also know a a couple of people who work in the media who think the same

Unlike yourself and Tony there are people out there who are not stupid and can see what is going on

agree

they farked up big time not charging Pomeroy, but to now say that JWH has no case to answer would be absurd.

If he'd collected him in the face, a send off was on the cards. As it was neck/throat, 1 week is fair

99% of the population is stupid?
you are in the minority mate. ask someone outside of this forun, that actually exist, if they think the NRL sit around a table discussing how to let souths win and how to make easts lose and you will be laughed at.

[Guest]

The more I think about it, if he misses a week, so be it.
You have to accept with a hard-man like Jared, that he'll cop a suspension or two, due to the way he plays the game. Be thankful that he has eliminated this stuff from his game...

If they want to manufacture results for the betterment of the game, then there would be nothing better than a roosters-souths grand final? There would be nothing better than two of the only foundation clubs playing in the decider to promote our game. So going by that, results this weekend will see both the roosters and souths win their games because it's the only way that they will meet. In the big one.

I am as biased are the rest of you on here, but when you look at it. he could of easily hit him in the chest with his elbow, but he kept raising it, until it eventually hit McQueen in the throat, but try at least, if there is nothing to lose.
