And yet Hodges stiff arm was only given a grade 1.

He'll cop less time on the sideline than Moa based on the charge sheet. Go figure...

Hodges' stiff arm was, when I was a boy, worthy of a send off. There was no doubt over the intent, it was a full blooded stiff arm to the jaw with no mitigation by any ducking into it by Hoffman. How the onfield officials completely missed it was a disgrace.

Also, in almost every tackle there was a Qld forearm, sometimes accompanied by a second player's forearm, grinding the tackled player's face into the turf - why is this tolerated?

The amount of dirty stuff they get away with in the tackle is staggering.

Slater out for the remainder of the season.

That's why we just gotta give it back, and i think we did in origin 2. Also why i hate that you cannot smack someone in the chops anymore, more niggle without the fear off copping one in the noggin.
