Does JWH have a problem?

[Roosterfarian]

Looks like it’s just a fine folks.

We're playing Brisbane aren't we? They want as many QLD teams in the Top 4 as possible. So he'll cop a week.

Judiciary Report: Waerea-Hargreaves, Butcher, Smalley charged

Roosters enforced Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was one of three players charged by the Match Review Committee following his side's 20-10 win over the Sea Eagles on Thursday night.

Hargreaves was charged with a Grade One Dangerous Contact offence on Manly youngster Zac Fulton in the 62nd minute of the game, which will attract a $3,000 fine with an early guilty plea. As it is his third and subsequent offence this year, he will face a two-match ban if he unsuccessfully contests the charge at the judiciary.

Teammate Egan Butcher was also charged with a Grade Two High Tackle - Careless offence in the final minute of the game and will miss one week with an early plea.

Manly debutant Alfred Smalley was cited for the same offence following his tackle on Sam Verrills in the opening five minutes of the game, and he too will miss one week with an early guilty plea.

Egan was injured and may not have played next week anyway, but I thought the initial contact was on the arm of the other tackler and then slipped up. It was not as bad as Smalley's hit on Verrills.

Thanks...Stupidy, stupidy, stupidy from JWH and Butcher! (Wonder what Fulton did or said to get under his skin?)

[zac]

i didn't get a clear view of the butcher hit - maybe we can get a downgrade. could be that they had to suspend the manly bloke and didn't want to embarrass themselves by not suspending butch despite him being sin binned

[OMR]

Pay the fine and let JWH play. If Butcher is injured then take the 1 week and let him rest up for the cowgirls game.

[eddie]

That should answer your question. He's no chance!

LOL yep I'll pay that one.

[Kramer]

Big dog just telling a pup his place. Big deal.

Baptism of fire, as they say.

[dice]

Did Butcher even make contact with Segeyaro's head? It looked like Hutchison's arm took the force of the hit.

[roostermcgregor]

JWH did what has been going on in rugby league since its inception.
The forearm to the head while you opponent is on the ground, or the palm in the head when your opposition is on the ground, is commonplace.
Heck, I even copped that treatment when I played schoolboy footy years ago.
But the fact that it was such a prolonged cheap shot (5 seconds at least) , the ref picked it up and blew the penalty.
JWH should know better, he knows he won't get away with that.
As for Egan Butcher's shot, I loved it.
It shows the guy has a bit of needle, some mongrel in him.
You don't win premierships by being a wallflower.

If the incident is as bad as the photo in the paper shows/suggests then
it's a bad look, and reflects poorly on him. He should be ashamed.
If we're happy with that then we can never complain about foul play on any of our players again.

Egan Butcher's high swinging arm shot was a disgrace...now he's suspended for 2 matches, and our chances of making the 8
just disappeared.
He should also be ashamed.
You don't win premierships by having your best players suspended.

You get guys like Dylan Brown putting the knees in , and putting players in hospital, Kafusi purposely concussing players for months on end, and Latrell Mitchell breaking people's faces.
Yet the whole Chookpen forum goes into uproar when our players show some niggle in games.
It is going to cost us the season !!!!
Robbo should instruct our players to roll out the red carpet to our opposition, all the away to our tryline.
Some people need to get a life..

Some people need to go read the lyrics to our Roosters song:

"Easts know how to play the game,
they play it hard fair

and ponder on
What it means to be a Rooster.
