Most blatant of shoulder charges. Different rules for different teams.

By the rules of the game, arm makes contact and is outstretched first, meaning its not a shoulder charge.

And Corey Waddell gets 10 in the bin for having the ball stolen after he was held... [emoji2369]
To be fair, and IMO, Waddell had it stolen and was fighting to get it back. He went on with it too long and was duly penalised.

The sin bin was harsh but 50-50 call IMO.

If he knew it was stolen after being "held" he wouldn't have fought for so long knowing that a penalty for late strip would come his way.

Agree to disagree

Anyone contesting a high shot should be using this as a example of not one even though it clearly was.

Yet Brent Naden did the same thing versus Panthers and gets 3 or 4 weeks.
