This bloke has the gift of the gab
Talks a whole bunch of shit in the Monday reviews but never follows it up with actions.
Pretty sure JWH and NAS are repeat offenders yet he's done nothing.
The 33-year-old was charged with contrary conduct for giving a facial to his opposing enforcer, but will cop a $3,000 fine instead of suspension. The penalty handed down is higher than a base penalty for this charge,
with it being JWH's third or subsequent offence this year.
JWH was also cleared of charge for high shots on Cameron Munster and Justin Olam during the heated clash.
This guy is an absolute grub who simply seems to enjoy bully boy tactics. So many inconsistencies when a player like Finucane who is pretty much a cleanskin gets a suspension for his effort.
NRL fans are up in arms over the punishment handed down to Jared Waerea-Hargreaves. Read more here.

How did Jared Waerea-Hargreaves get off with a fine?
Finucane and Waddell are not the only ones wondering where the consistency is after Roosters enforcer
Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was only fined for using his elbow as an oyster shucker on Zac Fulton's neck during Thursday night's Manly-Roosters clash.
It was a grubby, unnecessary, ugly act from a player who is hardly a cleanskin on a 20-year-old rookie in his first game.
If Finucane copped two weeks and Waddell five, surely JWH deserved at least a week to reflect on his actions.
No. He will be lighter in the pocket but allowed to play on, with the MRC perhaps seduced by the commentary around the incident.
Listening to some experts, they
basically gave the Roosters prop a leave pass, putting it down as part of Fulton's rite of passage to the big time.
And here's us thinking those sorts of initiations ended around the same time high schools black-banned the flushing of Year 7 kids' heads down toilets.
It's hard not to think Finucane and Waddell paid a heavier price simply because their incidents copped more negative publicity than JWH's bully boy move.
NRL head of football Graham Annesley has warned that players who repeatedly attract minor charges could be hit with a higher grading and increased penalty as a 'personal deterrent'.
