Didnt say it was a flawless idea, no doubt all the conspiracy theorists will think the main plan by coaches will be "rub out X we will brown paper bag you the fine money" :grinning:
A lot of conspiracy theories become facts later in life.

I know it was illegal by today’s rules and it was against our guy who we want to play some FG footy, But..,WHAT a fucking shot that was.

If it was Pay or SBW back in the day we would have all been raving about how good a hit it was.
He would have been sent off in the past mate. Contact with the head has always been a no go zone!

Ironic how one of the biggest divers in the game says it was a joke... I think it was a great shot also but outside the rules... fairly simple one.
He is just dirtybecause his team mate was also binned for a similar tackle on a dogs player.

yes please have all foul play as fines then watch
Teams take out playmakers in last rounds of seasons or semis to ensure that the top playmakers can’t play on in semi’s and grand finals knowing they won’t get suspended and miss any matches .

they All complain as suspension hurts.
They gave massive suspension 80’a early 90’s for the old foul play and it stopped - shit is now creaping into game because they all have so many apologists
look at latrell and all the backing of him by club and media .. do you think all that I’ll-advised support will stop him doing his shit.
I dont think he meant fine only. Give them a lengthy suspension, plus a financial penalty equivilent to the ratio of time suspended v contract value.

Maybe, initial contact was the body then up with contact to the head. Doesn’t matter anyway as the rules these days are pretty clear.

Plenty of old highlight reals had far worse than that. Pretty spectacular.

I reckon you hit the nail on the head with this observation, or perhaps hit the chin with the shoulder. The positioning of the arm means the shoulder is promoted as effectively delivering 100% of the impact. No one expects the shoulder to not be involved, but the effect of having the rest of the arm is to distribute the point of impact. The fact that the force from the shoulder goes up and through the head makes it even worse.
Yeah exactly, when you turn your arm like that it's the only outcome.

Farkin OMG.. Have a cup of tea and a lie down bro.. :tearsofjoy:

Its contact sport played by men and shit occasionally goes wrong. He will get his punishment and Doorey is a tough bugger hopefully with a good memory.

How do you figure im not calm. Simple statement baz. How are you not irate that it happened though?! This is the more important question.

What? Who said I was happy with it. It was illegal, showed zero tackle intention and ended up connecting with Dooreys head ( although I don’t think that was the intention.) He was binned and if the NRL are consistent he will also get a holiday.

If the hit had been Thommo on him or Dugan I wonder what the reaction would be..

My comment was that it was specatacular and reminded be of the game and how it was played 20 years ago. SBW was a specialist at the shoulder hit and we all use to love it.

What should my appropriate reaction be mate? Should I run outside and coat hanger the first Cronulla looking passer by? what am I missing?

Ah I’m just messing with @flamebouyant as I don’t think he got the drift of my original post. I’m just old and remember the violent old days of footy, and loved it.
Hang on a minute I gotta run, the fucker coming down the footpath has a shark tooth necklace. It’s stiffarmoclock!!
