Jake avoids ban

[Ned]

Mole is blowing up on twitter about it haha. Anything that goes our way is a blight on the game to some people!

Max Krilich is wielding the influence of a former kangaroo captain.

The storm fans are probably saying Jake is a protected specie

Nah, I spoke to all three of them and they actually have a lot of respect for Jakey.

 

[HappilyManly]

Jake needs a rest next week. Available or not available. Waddle can also use an 80 minute run.

Lets hopd Des gives him a rest this week and clears his MRC ledger with a guilty plea

Legend... you have never been one to subscribe to excuses or conspiracies Bozo. Have to say, I’m a little stunned that Jake was only charged with a grade one for that. Addin would be throwing his arms in the air saying “WTF.”

Would you be addin a higher grade?

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Being honest I thought Jake was in trouble and looking at at least 3 games on the sidelines regardless of his clean skin record.

I'm glad I was wrong.

They love him i knew he'd get off.. it looked accidental and out of 67 tackles they probably felt sorry for him haha that and hes a clean skin. We are gonna smash them next week! Turbo is going to have one if his blinders.. i noticed he played different last night not as much dummy half running and alot more of walker with the ball down that right side.

We should contest the charge and lose.
Jake gets a refreshing week off and clears the 75 carry-over points.

We don't want him missing a week later on for some piss-ant manipulated charge because he has 75 carry-over points.

Agreed. Here is the flaw in the system. The flaw is not on the match review committees charges. They charge accordingly but because of carry over points etc similar charges can have a big difference in suspensions
As you mentioned now jake has to carry these points through til the finals

Mate I do not believe in 1. excuses as excuses are comfort zones to justify a loss . Through out the game every one makes mistakes , players , lines man , refs , and the bunker . We can not control what the others do but we can control and are accountable for our mistakes . When we minimize our mistake rate we maximize our chances of winning .

I also do not believe in 2. conspiracies as conspiracies are what all NRL teams believed when Arko was boss and they all whinged that Manly was favoured .

Sea eagle fans are not whinges . We are winners .

Have a look at this tackle and look at where the head of the storm player is .

I am glad that Jake got off because he is not a dirty player

But that is not the point

The point is when a dangerous tackle is intentional or accidental match suspension is warranted

The moral of the story is.......... all teams and their players are subject to controversial rulings .

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Earlier today I thought that if he changed his name by deed poll to Josh McGuire, he would avoid suspension.

However that course of action was overtaken by events.

 

[Kevinward777]

Nice.

 

[Waz13]

Greg Inglis for example.

I thought at the time Hughes played for a penalty. Just my opinion. Jake certainly lucky to get off tho as it looked ugly.

 

[mave]

Jake gets 0
AFB got 2 for a love tap on Pearce.

About time we got a break.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Good to see Ricky Stuart coming out saying he thought the low grading was appropriate and right for Jake

Why give him a rest ??? We need our best players on the field. We haven't done anything yet while we are in a good position we haven't automatically qualified for the Finals yet.. We need to keep winning and hopefully sneak into the Top 4. Every game from here is crucial !. Knights will not be easy as they will be desperate as most teams are at this stage of the season.

Yes when we have automatically qualified but have no chance to get into the four then rest him. But for now he needs to play !

To clear the 75 carry over points!

There is another possible reason Jake did not get 1-2 weeks.
Across the rugby league world, everyone bar Manly fans - hates Manly....but....everyone loves the Trjobovic bros and our Jake may just be a Dally M contender and once he is rubbed out for any suspension, is auto ruled out as Dally M player of the year.

 

[OneEyedEagle]

I know I'm one-eyed but I thought Jake's tackle was ok and that Jahrome Hughes actually rolled into a dangerous position to make it look worse than it actually was. I'm so glad that Jake's free to play this week, finally some common sense prevails and the extra Manly bashing loading didn't apply

I dont think that's correct mate. In AFL it is but pretty sure we dont use that in NRL

Correct, -3 points for every weeks suspension I think it is.
