Thoughts on Pritchards Hit.

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

For me should be safe. Brilliant tackle.

Will he be gone for any games., Thoughts.....

Phucken Brilliant!!!

Ball runner fell into the tackle as Pritchard had already committed to the line tackle, but rules are rules (pathetic!!)... Shoulder came into contact with the head first... Hopefully they go easier on the big unit come judiciary.

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

shouldve been an 8 point try just for that hit alone lol. seriously though i think he'll get a week.

 

[S4Sonny]

Simmons was falling into the tackle, and Pritchard had already committed to the hit.

Judiciary will probably charge him though.

How about the Weston shot on Graham? Was that place on report? That was just careless, flung the arm out and clobbered Graham.

 

[Aristidiz]

No! They just had to give a penalty firstly because they were infront of a penrith crowd and he made contact with the head (even though he fell into it) and secondly he scored a try in the ensuing moments and it would have made the refs look even worse if we scored off that sort of hit.

 

[(((((SMACK)))))]

Simmons stepped into it. No swinging arm....

 

[Paint.]

I think he'll cop a match or two. Simmons fell into the tackle, so he'll have some sort of an argument.. not too much hope tho

 

[Dognacious]

I dont think frank will have anything to worry about. May be dismissed before it reaches the judiciary. Simmons stepped into the tackle and there was no obvious leading with the shoulder. Just a collision, going for the ball and all tackle.

 

[Bad Billy]

It's a crock ! There was nothing in it ! Just a solid hit. If they start charging players for that, the judiciary is gonna be busy. You can't charge people for "incidental" contact, unless its reckless or careless, it's clean !

 

[Bry]

Should be sweet. It wasn't a shoulder charge where you are out of control, it was a front on tackle and as Frank came in to hit him, Simmons swerved and ducked when he realised he was going to get crunched. It's completely his fault he was ko'd. Frank would have put his shoulders through Simmons ribs if he didn't duck down.

agreed

 

[Ironhide07]

He fell for Pritchard lol and got knocked the **** out. Awesome hit dont think there will be anything to come out of it.

 

[Mr Beast]

Big hit that is what footy is all about... should have been a try.. man up NRL fmd killing the game. This is the sort of hits that the fans love to see.

 

[The Beer Baron]

Does Frank have any carry over points ??

Looks bad played at 'normal' speed, should be ok, but you never know.

 

[JMP2024]

Just a pure text book hit coming out the line.... ask any footy coach for a response and no doubt they would demand that type hit for 80 mins... part & parcel of contact sport called Rugby League...

 

[MP4 - Eedz]

Massive problem with our game if he serves time for that hit ...

In the context of the game ... ok stupid rule, penalty whatever

BUT for us to be at a disadvantage next week because of it would be very sad

 

[GTJOHN]

Was a good hit, ball carrier was falling...no way will he have anything to worry about..\
in my mind was not even penalty worthy..if simmons didnt go down , no action
would have been taken

 

[bleedblue&white]

imagine exactly the same event however symonds was franks height! ends up in a head clash no penalty and a bulldogs try! very very soft from the refs, a couple of years back that young tiger smashed hargraves from the roosters and everyone said it was the hit of the year! But when a dog does it its a penalty???

Exactly ... if Romelo put the hit on I'd understand but what exactly do you want the guy to do ?

Radio says Weston was put on report.
