Round 6 MRP

[AaronKirk]

May would have copped the 2 weeks because his shoulder connected with Rocky's jaw

I have to disagree. Was a fair bump, from what I saw didn't connect the jaw and is only suspended because of the concussion. Surely Gold Coast will challenge.

On the Hodge incident I still maintain Swallow made it look worse by diving. He didn't need to make a dive, not that it will help at the tribunal. Should get same or less than Yarran.

Gotta disagree there. He was out before he hit the turf.

Agree with Hodge's, definitely less than Yarran's.

May taking the risk and wish him well.

Lewis should play lotto today. If May loses the appeal and gets 3 it makes you wonder...

Nah for me I think it should have been 3 weeks, in real time it looks clearly like Goldy has taken the ball and then Lewis swings his arm to cop him after the fact - he hasn't just left his arm out and coat hangered him, there's definitely a movement after Goldy had the ball. I reckon it was intentional, though I can definitely see how the MRP might have given him some benefit of the doubt. I think the fact that Goldy played on and did ok probably helps his case but for me it was pretty ugly and hard to see how a player of Lewis' experience and caliber could genuinely have thought they could spoil...

That was my point Kiwi. Lewis extremely lucky. May could end up with 3 weeks for his hit on Rocky, and I don't think that's fair in comparison

I doubt the tribunal will give him 3 even if they do find him guilty, will leave it at 2 I think ...

I've now seen the May/Rocky incident albeit only a couple of times on Talking Footy last night - I still agree with the head as sacrosanct but I think it's a Viney situation ie what else was he supposed to do? just going for the ball and unlucky to make contact with Rocky's head imo - ie I don't think his intent was to bump, just protect his space and contest the ball ...

Lewis' was definitely intentional, should have been 3 which says the MRP is still flowered like last year but not quite as much so far ...  ;)

i'm not sure how some can say that Swallow was acting - i'm no brick showerhouse but i'm not a shrinking violent either but if I got an elbow to my jaw/head I wasn't expecting (ie king-hit/coward's punch) i'm sure i'd be down an out ...  ;)

Hodgey has to get 4 imo - let's see what the tribunal think, good test imo ... along with May ...   :)

Ahhhh sorry misinterpreted "play lotto" as challenge and go to tribunal :P never mind me!

[LordSneeze]

May found guilty and out for 3 matches.

What a load of crock that is. And they wonder why people hated the previous system, its looking like this one is going to be even worse.

[LordSneeze]

After that im expecting Hodge to get atleast 5, eventhough i dont think it is worth anymore than 3.
