Dogs & Kasiano

[WAMF]

Sam Kasiano will front the NRL judiciary on Wednesday to fight his grade two careless tackle charge.

The giant Kiwi was placed on report for his swinging arm which floored Fuifui Moimoi in Friday night's big win over Parramatta.

Kasiano has little to lose by challenging the charge given he faced a week on sidelines whether he took the early plea or failed to beat the charge at the judiciary.

But should his appeal be unsuccessful at Rugby League Central on Wednesday night, Kasiano will also be saddled with 95 carry-over points on top of the one week ban.

Earlier, South Sydney hooker Issac Luke was slugged with a grade two dangerous throw charge.

He was placed on report for a challenge on Sydney Roosters' centre Shaun Kenny-Dowall in Monday's epic clash at Allianz Stadium.

Luke will miss three games if he takes the early guilty plea, but could miss four if he fights the charge and loses at a hearing on Wednesday evening.

New Zealand international Luke has been charged for other offences twice in the last two years.

Is he going for a down grading or is he trying to get off?

If he's down grading he'll still sit out a week.

If he's fighting it and loses he'll miss 2 by my calculations.

They must be worried. Manly are favourites.

looks like fuifui didn't fly under sam's radar.


but surely, surely he cant get off without some suspension

surely

shirley

 

[Clint]

nah let him play. Fui was falling. If Fui doesn't slip, Kasiano hits him in the chest.

 

[Stevo]

That defence doesn't work

 

[Nthn NSW]

A brown paper bag should see him beat this charge

 

[Clint]

That defence doesn't work

Don't mind if he plays because then there will be no excuses when we beat YOUR CLUB this week.

My question in all these things is....

Would you be happy if matai was suspended for the same tackle?

 

[Wolfpack]

Would you be happy if matai was suspended for the same tackle?

I'd be disappointed, but not suprised. Fui was falling but it was still an average attempt at a tackle by Kasiano, no need to swing those arms about.

Besides, if it was Matai he'd probably get 6 weeks for that.

 

[lsz]

Agree wolf - manly player I expect a week or two

 

[Sheikheagle]

Kasiano will be free play, It was an accident because fui was falling...

I wonder if you will still be posting next week after we pump your dirty dogs!

 

[lismore_fan]

No, Don't let him play!

He's too big and he's rough, too.
I don't want any of my boys getting hurt by the big thug.

He's a monster, especially beside T-Rex, Princess or The Reverend.

If Kasiano somehow manages to successfuly fight the charge, every player that is falling in a tackle becomes 'free game' for a head shot.

Whoever Matai hit against penrith was falling too. A swinging arm in the head is what it is. 1-2 weeks for Cuzziano.

 

[bones]

Kasiano got off. Free to play.

 

[the mauler]

Good. No excuses when we put the cleaners thru the Scumdogs.

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

that'll do me...
but as above, even more fun to beat them and them not use that as an excuse.
