So someone has to be severley injured for it to be stupidly dangerous?
The guys got quite a history. A deliberate head high tackle. A dangerous chicken wing? They all add up.
way way over the top, 17 weeks for those regardless of form is unbelievable. If they judiciary carry on like this , some of this stuff will end up in the courts i fear. penalties like this are career killers. Lets just look to the future and what happens if he hits the head which happens 20 timesa game next season. He will get 80 weeks for something that happens all the time. I know his was a bit worse but that hit on bailey as he scored was as bad really. A clenched fist at the head that looked deliberate. Pretty sure he wouldnt have got as much for the chicken wing if it hadnt been recent news in the AFL
yeah but if they do say it's 17 weeks (which I doubt) then it includes a whole bunch of pre season stuff so it's never "17 main draw nrl comp games."
As much as I despise Burns I think it's way too harsh. The Inglis cheap shot on Young is far worse IMO, now he could of made the poor guy crippled.

It could have been worse Burns could have been running when he hit the player high. So i think it is a pretty harsh punishment.

Its crazy when you consider what Cameron Smith gets away with on a wekly basis. Way to much, season is more than enough.

The high shot was both intentional and an absolute beauty-did NOT miss at all. Easy 4/5 weeks suspension IMHO.
As for the chicken wing or whatever it was.... That rubbish has to be stomped on: HARD. What if a shoulder gets popped or a knee or ankle?? My thoughts are if player A "chicken wings" player B, who subsequently misses X amount of games through injury, then player A should sit out the same amount. It's just NOT DONE. Pure, outright grub tactic.
17 weeks is pretty harsh, what did Les Boyd get for accidentally cocking an elbow??

Says on Sunrise that he's been released by Penrith. Seventeen weeks is going to make it hard for him to find a new club. Wonder would we be interested if we got him cheap, he'd be handy to have as a backup.
