Dan said:The thing is that Starlo wasn't charged with eye gouging for the second charge, he was charged with unnecessary contact with the head. Which is an unbeatable charge really, he pushed the guy away from him by the head, absolute bull**** because it happens about 30 times in a game and we will have no one left playing if it gets pulled up consistently.
The cameron smith elbows to Ballins head was what the charge is for, not for trying to get a guy off you.
Unfortunately how do you fight it, he pushed Tyrell away by the head, therefore made unnecessary contact with the head.

Maybe he could have presented video of Captain Scum's incident a precedent and just argued he was being held down.
At least it would highlight the inconsistency / bias.

Everyone else can say what they like but you cannot.
Having said that I wonder what ever happened to the bucket of truth?
EagleBoi13 said:Following on from what @Brookie Brawler said - the fact scam smith got away with his elbow treatment of MattyB is a disgrace. Seems the MRC deal more harshly with offences commited by an away team! Both charges put on Starling pale by comparison to scam's cheap elbow shots (plural, i.e more than once did his elbow impact MattyB's head!) which were blatantly intentional. And they talk about unnecessary contact with the head! Seriously? Like others have said, the fact one of Starling's charges was basically brought about by the media is a joke... a very bad one at that!
It's like the administrators of this great game have a bet on to see how long Manly fans will continue to support the game with all their bias and BS. Dont even start me on Bellamy treatment compared to Toovey! #?$*! Well guess what - speaking for myself, I dont support the game any longer. But I'll be fkd if they are going to make me turn my back on my beloved mightly Sea Eagles! WILL NEVER HAPPEN! So a BIG FU very much to the powers that be!
We LOVE our team, our coach, our culture and that will NEVER change.
I can't wait to celebrate LOUDLY AND PROUDLY come the 1st week in October.
