Jake avoids ban

View attachment 11996

Clearly shows that Jake's only contact is his right arm supporting the falling player.
Corey is also off the player @:cool:

Cotric was holding the player then jumped up and drove down to his left 😎

Luke's tackle was a crosd between the 2 and by contesting it he added another week to his suspension @:cool:

He looks horizontal to me.

Sheesh, can't believe Jake even got a charge! RIGGED! #freethe75points
 
Kent reckons referees should be on the match review committee. Not former players. Imagine horsehead perenara and some other goose judging manly players. Jake woulda got 10 weeks.


Yawn. With all the ref decisions we've had to put up with suddenly Cluck Kent starts to get his super diapers in a knot because suddenly a Manly player gets a break. Cluck Kent should stick to saving who he considers the oppressed, the downtrodden, the victims of heinous allegations, like Greenberg and Beattie, the vulnerable ones.
 
Yawn. With all the bull dominance he's had to put up with suddenly Cuck Kent starts to get his super diapers in a knot because suddenly a Manly player does his wife. Cuck Kent should stick to shutting up and watching the bulls do their job.

Fixed it for you, Bear.

I really think the club has played this the wrong way. Risk v Reward Jake needed to NOT be available to play this week.

How could the club have played it differently,? It’s not like we appealed the charge and got it downgraded, the charge didn’t incur enough points to miss a week?

I do agree, jake could do with a rest at some point, but they can now do that anytime, you don’t need a suspension to get a rest

Maybe the warriors game we have coming up. Waddell can play 13 and jetski can take his bench spot. He deserves a break. I have a feeling he won't get one though

That's not quite correct mate.
The charge carries 100 points, which is a 1 week suspension. Jake avoided that 1 week by an early guilty plea, which affords a 25% penalty reduction. Thus the 75 carry-over points now hanging over his head because of the early plea.

The maximum penalty for fighting a 100 point charge is still 1 week if you lose (just over 100 points is 2 weeks). If we chose to fight the charge and lost, Jake would have been suspended for 1 week and would not have those 75 points hanging over his head leading into the end of the season.

Of course Des and his entourage know all this and chose not to do it.
 
https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/07/31...h-review-committee-over-inconsistency-claims/

NRL match review committee chairman Michael Buettner has dismissed claims of inconsistency in his panel's grading of dangerous throw charges following fierce criticism around three recent lifting tackle incidents.
Buettner addressed several contentious issues around recent MRC rulings with NRL.com regarding dangerous throw charges, saying he had "no problem with their processes and performances this year".

etc.

It's amazing, look I know morons will be morons but almost everyone who has had anything to do with the process has come out and step by step explained the process and the difference between the tackles. If they can't see the difference between someone being picked up, turned upside down and driven into the ground by a repeat offender as opposed to a slightly above the vertical, no driving down and no head contact into the ground by a non repeat offender, then they are never going to.

So really it's just non Manly fans (a lot) doing the mob bleating, monkey typists following suit (to get clicks) meaning the powers at be feeling the need to say something. It makes me feel better they are so annoyed about it.

There's plenty of examples but there was no league outcry when Burgess lined up dce without the ball and nailed him. Got a letter of warning 'e did guv'nor. Yeah, that sorted his problems out.

Though I think the nrl are happy to run with it as it takes attention away from the cheating the refs did against the Warriors (unless you live in NZ).


Sigh, whoever said stupidity was due to the lack of access to information would be so surprised to see the state of the world in the social media age.
 
In light of Cotric copping 3 matches, Jake should have realistically gotten one or two.

One week would have been reasonable given he's a clean skin but not missing a game with an early plea was extremely fortunate.

If this was another player at another club, we would have been after blood.

How can the MRC have such a different view to so many punters ?
 
While watching Fox News this morning, in one segment I lost count of the number of times the Jake tackle was played over and over again. I have never seen anything like it in my life!!!

I avoid Fox fake news like the plague
 
Not sure if it was mentioned already but on 100% footy Gus talked about how players today tend to jump in the tackle / twist and some of the blame should be with the attacking player not just the defender
 
Chez may have halped jake escape a ban today. Jake was going to flip some nufty when cherry held him upright. He was going to get whipped

That was so funny.😛

It looked like they placed the tackled player on a platform and gently lowered him in a perfect horizontal stance :giggle:
