By not rating Radley and Hetherington the same, it just raises suspicions of favoritism.
Hetherington got the grade 3. Because.Just looked at the Momiroski grade two charge. Almost a replica of Hetherington high shot. Only difference was Hetherington was a reckless reflect action. Momiroski hit a standing target, in the vulnerable act of kicking. Understand there are loading in place for repeat offenders, but why is Hethrington a grade 3 while the other was a grade 2. Let's not start with Latrell Mitchel. Seems to be an automatic downgrade in charge, if you wear the Red & Green
I know. Yet if a bulldogs player was the victim of a high shot, the NRL wouldn't care.Hetherington got the grade 3. Because.
A, he is hetherington the evil bad man. According to the NRL.
B, he wears blue and white
Think the maths is wrong:
Base penalty 300pts
Two related priors - 100% loading (300pts)
One non-related prior - 20% (60pts)
Carry overs - (32 pts)
NRL f/u Bulldogs penalty - (300 pts)
NRL u don't play for the Storm, Penrith, Souths or Roosters penalty (200 pts)
Non aboriginal penalty - (200 pts)
Unless I'm mistaken - thats 1392 points. Which under the NRL Bulldogs early guilty plea becomes 1391 points.
Have I missed something?
I think their asking price is affected by their judiciary history already. Players with a very poor record generally have to take massive pay cuts in ordert receive a contract.So there needs to be a system where these plonkers are fined, and compensate the club somehow, so that we aren't penalised for stuff they do at other clubs.
Maybe if they change clubs with carry over points, they (the player) pays a big fine, based on accumulated points, and they get a clean record restored for the next club.
Like 300 points carry over, Hethrington has to pay $50k fine to have his record restored back to zero if he goes to a new club.
Make the dumb players pay out of their hip pocket for their indiscretions.
Poor us, suffer for his reckless play at Penrith and Warriors.
But then again dumb us for taking him on with that record in the first place.
you can still plead guilty but at a reduced gradingHetherington has a shit record. If he challenges it he has no chance, not because of the tackle itself but because of his history.
Take the 5, learn from it and move on.
Their calculation is this chart:Just looked it up, there are no allowances for send offs now, was changed. There used to be you were correct there. The send off just rarely happens. Have sent them a message about this, wondering when this was changed, seems silly to change it.
