Judiciary Charges

[Indy0204]

Looks like AFB gone for two weeks and Siro fine to play against the Dragons:

The question then becomes - Paseka or Tanginoa to be promoted to the first team?

The question then becomes wasn't the sin bin enough for a dangerous but accidental knock

 

[Ranga]

Very clear for me that it has to be Tanginoa. If not, Boyle. Toff to start.

Paseka is a powderpuff prop. Guac, Baldy and De Luis have all out played him for Blacktown and they don’t have the incentive of being able to play their way into FG.

But you have to remember Toddy is still our leader so in his eyes 2 weeks is fair.
I agree with you sin bin was enough of a penalty.
Joke of a charge , it was a love tap by AFB nothing more.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

I thought Siro’s was much worse than AFB’s.

I 100% agree mate

 

[Budgie]

I would have been fine with one week, primarily because we always seem to have Buckley's every time we play in the Gong. It may have even been fair. But two weeks is giving him that bad boy label where they never get fair treatment for the rest of their careers.

I thought Sirro,s was a great hit, stunning that upstart Ponga, loved it

Two weeks for that which was an accident while the eye gouge from Josh McGuire is merely a fine!! Welcome to Greenturds NRL!!!

Consistency is overrated - never forget that gem

 

[HappilyManly]

Lokyer said it was careless and should not even have been binned as Pearce slipped into it

 

[BrendonStarr]

I still think we will break the recent Dragons Voodoo this week, even if we bring in Paseka and Perrett to replace AFB and Sironen.

Sometimes these types of underperforming players (who play well below their true potential in the lower grades) kick into gear and lift their intensity when thrust into the big games.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

This would be one I think the club should fight.

I’m really surprised as I thought Curtis would be the one missing next week.

It was careless but nothing horrific in any way.

Sirro is ok to play with an early plea.

 

[BOZO]

We keep on losing players .....

Last season it was another excuse for losing under Trent

This season is another test of our character and finding another way to win

 

[HappilyManly]

The positive is that the replacement is coming into a winning culture.

Good roster rotation for Des to express his creative genius

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Losing AFB is a massive blow given the damaging impact he produces for us. Dessie has to come up with a game plan to counter this loss. Im sure he will. But given that we played well enough whilst he was off for 10 minutes and did not concede any points during a period where the knights were on the prowl, we should feel a lot more hopeful heading into next week's game.

 

[Scorpio]

Now that he has been charged (as much as we all disagree with it), I very much doubt that AFB will be able to fight it and win.

AFB will be out, Sipley to start at prop. Tanginoa will take Sipley's spot on the bench. The rest of the squad will be unchanged.

The hypocrisy is that we will lose AFB for 2 weeks for a careless high tackle on a falling player that was nearly on the ground. Whereas Josh Maguire only gets a fine (and no suspension) for a deliberate eye gouge.

And that really is true hypocrisy!!

Can it be challenged ?
