Inu cops 5 weeks for early guilty plea for his spear tackle, then gets an extra week with the rule change.

Now today Fa'aoso takes an early guilty plea for not one but two spear tackles in the one game, with carry over points and gets only 8weeks?

My question is where is the justice in the the system? Why is Inu being punished more? Are we just getting the rough end of the stick as usual?

Mate you answered your own question with a question.

Inu plays for the Bulldogs, that's why.

I hate to break ranks on here, but I have no objection to this.

Inu's was graded at Grade 4. Fa'aoso's were Grade 2 and Grade 3. That seems reasonable to me - both were not as bad as Inu's in isolation of each other, but two obviously adds up.

I think you're right Pom. Neither of Fa'oso's were as bad as Inu's but collectively, he ended up with a longer holiday.

Taking off my biased bulldog goggles i gotta say i agree, while i don't think inu is a dirty player at all his spear tackle certainly looked worse.

Inu's tackle was much worse. Fa'oso didn't drive ingles in either of his tackles.
I'd like nothing more than seeing a many player suffer, but in this case the judiciary got it right. (Although it was still fun to see toovey snap)

Although, Fa'oso did make two tackles which causes Ingles to end of his head (he should have been sent off after the second, at least for ten), they were no where as bad as Inu's. Fa'oso was one motion pick up and drop, Inu tried once to lift, failed then did it again and succeeded, and SHOULD have been sent off.
Both Judiciary penalties were fair.

Stop with the victim mentality. He copped 8 weeks for two tackles that were no where near as bad as Inu`s.

I think the eight week suspension is far too lenient. Forget about the gradings, either one of Fa'aoso's tackles could have caused spinal damage.

What happened is that Fa'aoso spear tackled Inglis and got put on report. Then being either an absolute dope or a psychopath he repeats the dose and gets put on report again. Two spear tackles in one game. Inu's might have looked worse but Fa'aoso's repeat dose showed he had intent to do damage to Inglis, not just shake him up.

Agree 100%. The second tackle was either poor technique or premeditated. Not good!

The voice of reason.

Inu's was worse guys, if you can't see that then I do not know what to say.
