Latrell Mitchell’s ban

[Rafferty]

It’s officially a grade 2, min 6 weeks on the early plea or 9 if unsuccessful

As they say, you can pick your friends, but not your family. Obviously with those issues Jesus takes after his mum. Could you give us insight to who that might be?

Hairy Mary - you know those sightings of Yetti's that's just Mary out for a walk, what can I say I was drinking too much at the time and coming off a 5 - 10 year binge that would have made Hunter s Thompson look mild.

Will I be able to covet my neighbour’s wife under the new guidelines?

Not really but to simplify things I am merging that and the one about adultery to just don't do sh!t things.

6 weeks with plea. 9 if challenged and unsuccessful. Gorn

 

[Chip and Chase]

Only grade 2 ?? gee he dodged a bullet there. They classed Mattos and CHN's as grade 3's

Anyway he's gone for the season, which is all that matters

As a player, I really rate Latrell. In fact, in terms of fullbacks, for mine both he and Turbo are ahead of Tedesco.

But try this for a second. Touch the point of your shoulder and feel how little flesh there is between the bone and the skin. Now imagine copping that with full force to the cheekbone. He may as well have used a bit of 4 by 2.

If he doesn't get 6 weeks, the NRL will be more of a joke than I already think it is.

Watching how Latrell plays the game just makes me appreciate Tom even more. A genuinely nice guy with absolutely zero rubbish in his game. We're 100% blessed he's Manly through and through.

What about coveting thy neighbour’s ass?

Agree, taking into account remorse shown (absolute bubkus to a supposed 'close' friend) and injury sustained to Manu it is a complete joke. What warrants a grade 3 then?

Almost as if they wanted to leave the door open for him to challenge the grading from 2 to 1.

No beastality is still a no-no.

 

[ALinda]

You watch, some random Dragons or Bulldogs bench forward will be sent off this weekend for a love tap, as the reactionary NRL try and regain some form of control.

Or, perish the thought, one of our forwards...

 

[Shoe1]

Grade 2. I guess to get a grade 3 you would need to hit the player with a shovel or something

Rabbitohs star Latrell Mitchell is facing a suspension of between six and nine matches after being charged with a grade two reckless tackle on Roosters centre Joey Manu.


Mitchell was sin-binned for the hit that left former teammate Manu with a suspected fractured cheekbone. He faces a six-match ban if he enters an early guilty plea and would risk a nine-match suspension if he unsuccessfully fights the charge at the judiciary.


Rabbitohs teammate Liam Knight is facing a ban of 2-3 matches for making dangerous contact with Roosters prop Siosiua Taukeiaho, while Roosters forward Fletcher Baker is facing a ban of one or two matches for a crusher tackle.

Warriors prop Matthew Lodge is facing a ban of one or two matches after being charge with dangerous contact over a tackle on Raiders forward Joseph Tapine.

There were no charges following Thursday night's Knights v Titans clash on the Sunshine Coast.

6 match ban...
What? Not taking account of priors???

 

[davohan123]

Souths are now gone won't be doing any damage in September. Maybe get to week 2 or 3 but can't win it from here.

 

[MissKate]

Would not be surprised at all if they challenge and get a downgrade

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Grade 2. I guess to get a grade 3 you would need to hit the player with a shovel or something

Or play for Manly

6 match ban...

The Rabbitohs fullback is facing six games with the early plea and nine if found guilty at the panel.

Mitchell has four non-similar offences in the last two years which carry 20 per cent loading and contributed to his penalty

 

[davohan123]

Just call Billy slater he will get Latrell off. Seriously anything less than a season ending suspension for Latrell is minimum sentence he deserves for that hit.

6 match ban...

It’s 500 based points + 80% loading for 4 priors less 25% guilty plea giving him 675

 

[Rocky]

Send him straight to Gaol. And definitely don't pass GO

 

[The Insomniac]

Surely that one "tackle" has a major effect on both clubs going into final series. Roosters now have 5m cap on the bench

10 million for anybody else.

 

[nightster]

Sipley or Aloiai on Latrell and it might be 10-12.
