Massive Surprise

[Kiwi Eagle]

An early guilty plea see's Ballin playing this weekend

He should be buying a lotto ticket, that is how clearcut i thought a few weeks were for him, especially in the current frenzy around us

I was definitely expecting a couple of weeks. We must have won the toss of a coin.

also Kite not charged either

see news post when Dan publishes it

 

[Chip and Chase]

And I see Hohohohaia is out for the Shaggers as well. Good news all round

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Matulino out for them as well, he is a pretty good young player

Understatement! Matulino has a huge future. Kid hits as hard and as big as anyone in the NRL.

I'm glad I was wrong.

Pleaded guilty to what?  I didn't think he made contact.  Can you get charged with intent?

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Guilty to stupidity DSM

If we contest it, he will miss weeks. Early plea is the safest option, and he keeps his nose clean for a certain number of weeks to remove the carryover points under the new system they have this year.
From memory every game you play without incident removes 5 pts from your carryover or something like that

I agree with the stupidity Kiwi.  I just thought he didn't make any contact.  It's like someone going in head high and missing.  Maybe a warning on the trot.  Nothing more, or so I thought.  Anyway it's a good result because I don't know if a player who regularly only plays 40 minutes or so, like Le Snak, can then step up and play 80.  Should be able to, but maybe not.  We need all hands.

When is Williams X 2 back???

I'm glad I was wrong.

I hate to see you wrong, but I'm happy to see you glad. And I'm glad that I'm happy and not surprised you are wrong

Dave not expected back until round four, Tony could be sooner. Tony looked fine in the sheds, walked without discomfort, but you don't get a feel for how a hammy is going to go until you can give it a full stretch - if it doesn't go again, then you're good to make a return to the field!
