James Graham – how many weeks?

[WAMF]

What SHOULD happen is

All of his teeth should be extracted with no anaesthetic permitted.

 

[The Who]

If he does get off there will be a HUGE outcry. It will be more damning for RL and The Berries than if he cops a appropriate sentence. There will be accusations of favouritism, amateurism, failing administration etc...

If he does get off he should then be known as OJ Graham.

 

[Stevo]

I reckon he will either get off, get what he deserves or get a really long suspension.

 

[globaleagle]

I agree with Dan @[Daniel] , a technical issue will see him with no time off, otherwise why would he have plead not guilty.

Back for WCC, English Tests, Trial matches and Round 1

What SHOULD happen is about 12 weeks and 4 extra for being a lying bull**** artist!!

Ya gotta put [ ] around the name to tag a poster!

Now I've earned my free tix from @[Mark from Brisbane] , I'll be off.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Oh bugger, I'll give you a like for that!!

Free Tix.....who knows!

 

[dceagle]

Bourbons brother is saying the defence will be that Graham was sledging Slater and his ear was injured in the process ...... Oh dear .

Would not surprise if only 6 weeks is handed out here . Should be for the season if they are fair dinkum .

 

[The Who]

sledging???
Was he using a sledgehammer to crack Slater's nut?

 

[MadMarcus]

When he reported the bite Cam Smith should have said to the ref "We knew they'd come with that..."

 

[eagle chick]

Don't think he will get off with nothing... and can't imagine there to be a "technicality" issue. Both refs saw it, Ennis and Smith acknowledged it, Slater has tendered his submissions. Slater wasn't saying anything to any media/press about the incident, no one from the Bulldogs/Storm were, and that was probably for the best.

 

[swoop]

If he gets less than 8 weeks they should pull out all his teeth. 🙂

 

[Stevo]

I reckon the more people that email the NRL and complain about it the better. It seriously is the worst thing i have seen on o football field.

Men will fight, they will king hit and they will brawl. But even in the brutality of a street fight, men know that biting is a dog act and is not on.

 

[voicefromthehill]

sledging???

yes he was yelling

"Nom nom nom nom"

 

[StuBoot]

He should go for at least 16 weeks ( NRL matches ).
They should date the suspension - ie suspended until whatever 2013 so he can't claim the Pommie Tests as part of it.
An example needs to be set here, if a player gets say 7 weeks for a tackle gone wrong which does happen, at least he was trying to play footy and make a tackle, whereas as far as most people are concerned biting is not part of anything else but eating .
Other "biters" have been given 8 weeks for biting arms etc in tackles where the video evidence hasn't been as clearcut.
Throw the book at him, set an example and show some b@lls.
If he gets less than Travis Burns then it's a joke.
All this garbage of "it's not his go" and "it must have been a brain explosion in the heat of the moment" is deadset BS.
So if you assault someone in a pub and plead the above defence you aint gonna get far.
I'd be saying the same thing if it was one of our players too.

 

[OneEyedEagle]

He should be outed for 12 weeks but I reckon they will only give him 4 weeks.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Many called Snake running in to protect his brother a "dog act"....sort of pales into insignificance to this doesn't it?

I am well well past my "brawling days" but have seen a bit in my life and I reckon there's a few 'dog acts' that are done today....king hits / kicking a man when he's down are two that were never done in my day.

And biting someone on the ear....jeez that's the lowest of lows...chuck the book at him I reckon.

BUT

Almost bet he will get off with nothing (otherwise he wouldn't be pleading not guilty).

Found the king incident

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu4h8eVBrQw&feature=player_detailpage#t=18s

Maybe they are going to say he was trying to do the same and it was an accident

 

[tookey]

It looks like he bit King's shoulder.

 

[Chip and Chase]

In light of the grand final incident, you've got to wonder about what Graham was doing to Kingy's shoulder. Certainly got a reaction out of Jason.

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Looks like he bit king to me Aswell !

 

[bob dylan]

Will miss 2 or 3 premiership games once the include trials and upcoming rep games.
