Re: Smith & Smith Charged
The pressure will be enormous on the judiciary panel on Wednesday. I would think that if this occurred in Round 14 this would be a non event, Smith would accept the charge and take the 2 match penalty.
Of course it is not Round 14 and this sheds a whole new light on the decision. The NRL have stated that grapple tackles, contact with head (even if accidental) is not acceptable.
We have all thought and even spoken of conspiracy theories given  the ownership of the Storm, I have not been one that accepts those thoughts, however if Smith & Smith get off their respective charges, on whatever grounds Bellew can conjure up then their will be rioting in the streets, and not just north of the Harbour Bridge.
