Why wouldnt they ? Its SBW ? People like you and me pay to watch players like him play our game.. People disregard the fact that elite players get lower punishments for a reason !! Its because there "elite" and there availability is what makes our game one of the greatest games in the world.

There setting an example that's all it is
If this was some nobody he wouldn't even miss a week but they are being over protective about brain damage now

I understand he is a marquee player but he did the crime so he should do the crime, I don't mind SBW but the media overplay things with him and it gets really cheesy after a while. The NRL might but be tougher on him since he is leaving again for a lesser sport so who knows what happens next haha.

The law is an arse but we have to live with it.

3 weeks seems about right.

The shoulder charge that was banned is the coward version of a shoulder charge anyway. It takes no talent or guts to slam your elbow into someones head.

A real shoulder charge (Which is still legal) is the tackles you see guys like Nigel Plum doing every week. It's digging down and putting your entire body on the line and absolutely smashing them.

Shoulder charge in my books are good as long as you don't hit the head!

Why did they change this? Just don't hit the opponents head, that's all!

Theoretically, if you managed to shoulder charge a guy in the shin would a penalty be given?
