How Many Weeks should Prior get ?

yo have got to be joking. he should have gotten way more for that hit.

The judiciary is a shocker. Makes me more unhappy about T-Rexs suspension
 
I can cop the T-Rex suspension with carry overs and loading etc etc - but they have said a cocked elbow driven into an opponents head is on par with it
 
If Prior was a Manly player we'd all be saying that 5 weeks was an appropriate punishment with the concession for the guilty plea. The problem is with the discrepancy between suspensions handed out by the judiciary.

Good to hear that Gallen has been cleared, didn't do anything wrong to begin with.
 
I'm shocked he got 5 weeks. **** Saintmerge should appeal on the grounds that only Manly players get suspensions greater than 2 weeks.
 
What a load of ****,12 months for an identical shot

Boyd would have to be filthy, he played in an age of thuggery and got ****ed over
 
*Shakes Head* What an absolute joke that punishment is. In my opinion, it should have been 8 weeks +

Did the NRL judiciary get Matt Prior's suspension right?

Yes
40.07%(569 votes)
No - too harsh
16.62%(236 votes)
No - too lenient
43.31%(615 votes)
 
If I remember correctly, didn't Gifty get about 5-6 weeks for a similar elbow to Braith Anasta at the end of a season a few years back?? Seems like an appropriate suspension considering... Not that I agree T-rex's was worth 7 weeks, but maybe there's no real conspirancy against our boys...
 
Prior was treated lightly because he is "an angel" - just read the fawning reports about him in the Telecrap.

The problem with this poll is that most of the DT's readership probably don't know what "lenient" means.
 
Gallen has form leading with the knee into the head of opposing players, but NSW needs him apparently..
