Maybe he gets off on the intent factor(although its seems clear enough to us)he technically may get off.Next grading down is reckless isnt it? Relevant charge will be known as early as tomorrow wont it?
You’re right typical flat track bully, will go missing when the big dogs are on the field
For the club’s sake, I hope all those head knocks aren’t finally catching up with Gus.
What sort of stuff is being said in the tweetersphere?
Pretty much what most are saying about the fact that Latrell was very lucky and that the crackdown that was on earlier in the year has been put away....
Yeah my heart went out to him he looked fucking distraught poor bugger,
Yeah Gus won’t shit can Latrell or any other player that he might have to sit down with in the future and negotiate a contract with. I don’t like it but it’s smart business.
Has to be. Grade 2 reckless at least. 7 or so weeks.
I think it is more a principled rather than practical issue for Gould... he just takes the player's side, even more so than those that should... for example, when we played the Eels years back and Corey Payne did a swinging arm to Jarryd Hayne's jaw... Hayne got up and head butted Payne causing a brawl... and yet, somehow Sterling was less forgiving in commentary of Hayne than Gus and was saying a headbutt was a send off
Compare Thompsons 5 weeks for so called eye gouging. No damage. No evidence of raking or penetration of the fingers into the eye ..only on the eye area. No broken skin even. No inconvenience to the "victim" either on the field or later. Player admits he was complaining to get a penalty.
Gone down in my estimation on this one!
Very hard to like Roosters players, but Manu plays with such heart and joy, he's likeable. Rough situation for him.
Kimmorley suffered a fractured eye socket near the end of the 2009 season (last couple rounds) and was back for the preliminary final... hopefully, Manu is back just in time for the Roosters to crash out of the finals
