NRL Judiciary Report: Crichton faces ban for RTS tackle

[dogsday]

that was not a sin bin offence so now if the player carries the ball and runs hard and hits the shoulder of the opposition player waiting for him the tackler no fault of his own gets sin binned this game has become pathetic.

Not become, it is & has been for years & getting worse.

 

[dekepefc]

So basically there's a backlash because many feel he should have been sin binned. Nrl responds by trying to suspend him for games. If it's not worth 10 mins how is it suddenly worth 80 mins. ... if he was binned there'd be no further action for sure.. so nrl are essentially covering up their f$%# up (even though I don't believe it was even worth a sin bin)

Yep, that's pretty much the tall and skinny of it.

What a farce the "greatest game" of all has become

Cam Murray was binned and is now banned for 2 games, with the same charge as Critta got. Grade 2 careless high tackle. Difference is it is Murray's second offence.

Also other difference is Frizz was being held up by 2 tacklers, then Cam came in on a stationary target and clocked him.

Critta was standing shoulder to shoulder in the defensive line and RTS simply bumped into Critta off the back of the tackle. All Critta did was brace himself and be an adonis. It's farcical he was even charged let alone facing time on the sidelines. If it was in Round 10, if I'm the club I'd fight it. With finals now, just take the week off and freshen up for the Cows.

This is what they mean by mitigation. Critchon is closing the gap to stop RTS from running through. Knees bent bracing for impact. No ones fault. Looked worse from the angle behind because it looks like his shoulder went forward for the head when in fact he went sideways into Preston to close gap.this is the only way the stop these backs from making meters.

Olakau’atus hit is way different. Driving forward with the shoulder with intent. Whether he hit him in the head or not, this could have been so much worse.

Would have been happy for Critta to have been sin binned but to miss a game is crazy. Feels like the NRL feels like Because he didn’t get binned they have to do something.

I wouldn't have argued if it had been "dangerous contact" instead, however, if one of our blokes got up wobbling like that and there was clear vision of an opposition player leaning in with the shoulder and not wrapping the arm I'd be keen for him to be sat down for a week or two.

Even though there was zero intent and rts fell into critta, taking the early plea is admitting guilt even though there is none.

Fighting them is just going to extend the punishment.

If they wanna rest him just fight it.

To me; the slow motion footage makes it look worse than what it is, but even then it just shows Critta making contact with Presto first and RTS head dropping pretty quick into the contact area between Critta and RTS too

If you watch it at speed there's not much in it, there wasn't a run up to create momentum to whack him, but more a bracing motion...

The warriors coach had a little bitch which has made this worse than what it is and now the nrl feel like they need to do something, go sit on cock you crying bitch faggot ****, your team flopped this year, your coaching flopped this year, we came to your home stadium on a "special occasion" and choked you out without getting out of second gear, thats on your team and coach being shit so get over it lmao

The manly player you can see him self launching into the tigers player with that momentum yet won't get suspended...

Media is driving this.started with vossy. Probably cos they couldnt get their feel good story re sj. And they have backed that up with more rubbish.
This is from fox this morning - "Souths captain Cam Murray is facing at least two games on the sidelines after he was sin binned for a eerily similar high shot to the one which saw Bulldogs star Stephen Crichton controversially avoid ten in the bin on Friday night." They completely disregarded the fact murray had to take steps to coved the distance to opponent and had more time to make that tackle. Showing intent and less on reflex.
Yesterday sharks player made a high tackle that hit the opponents face. Warren smith made a comment about not as bad as crichtons tackle. But that player stretched his arm out and crichton didnt.

Anyway If its only 1 week, its not that bad imo. If im not mistaken, crichton has had less break than the others in the team when the team had byes, he was part of the origin team.

Comparisons between Murray and Chrichton tackles is laughable. Whoever wrote that is dumb as fuck and out of touch with reality.

 

[The New Legacy]

Grade 2 with a early plea of one week.

welcome the media making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Problem with this is it has changed the narrative from a good dogs win and another second half shut out, to the warriors were dudded.
No point pleading not guilty judiciary will make sure to give him 2, maybe they might try to upgrade the charge and give him even more.

 

[Nano]

I feel abit for Critta, I hope this doesn't dent him or anything as he is now a Bulldog and the media were waiting for their chance it seems...

Fuck me, those 2x ***** andrew voss and warren smith need to shut the fuck up, they are making so obvious with what their agenda is...

So JWH only gets 3 weeks hahaha seriously how the fuck can the judiciary see Crichton as 1 week, yet a guy with a horrendous record coming back from suspension and commits the same offence straight away only gets 2 weeks more than our bloke. Seriously should have been 4-5 weeks minimum.

 

[RookieDog]

Can someone on here who has Tweeter or X Box or whatever the f**k it is, and who hasn't been banned by Phil Gould, write to him and ask about challenging the grading Crichton's alleged shoulder charge (ie take an early guilty plea but seek a downgrade to Grade 1 so he can play against Manly).

Both Crichton and JWH were charged with Grade 2 careless high contact. Crichton stood there and braced himself as RTS lowered his head and ran into him. JWH launched himself forward, with intent and hit Veriils forcefully and directly in the head.

Yet the NRL considers both tackles are the same.

From today on the NRL website below.

"Should he enter an early guilty plea, Waerea-Hargreaves would miss the final two regular season games and the Roosters' first final. If he fights the charge and is found guilty at the judiciary, the penalty increases to four matches."

The only reason JWH gets an extra week than Crichton with an early guilty plea (ie 2 weeks JWH versus 1 week Crichton) is because of JWH's prior record. Apart from that, the NRL says the two tackles are the same.

The whole thing is fkn bullsh*t and rigged against the Dogs.

The nrlol are a absolute disgrace, yeah sure i'm a DOGS supporter for over 60 yrs but fm the tackle that Crichton was involved in was nothing compared to a number of other incidents over the w/end.
Jwh should get minimum of 6 weeks due to his ongoing stupidity in tackling technics, the others are not exactly super bad, Chrichton should have just been a fine nothing more nothing less, fmd league has been super a MASSIVE JOKE.

Good. We could use a bit more "under the radar" flying after the bandwagon w@nkfest everyone was trying on us a couple of weeks back.

Our best chance at winning the whole thing is still being underestimated. So bring it on.

 

[King Gus]

To make critta look worse they sacked the bunker ref lol.
