NRL press release

[bones]

3rd man in is what they dont like and punish. In this case, glenn, blair and brett will cop it the most.

Because brett came in with a flying punch, expect him to probably cop the worst of it all, if he doesnt, we should consider ourselves lucky.

I agree..... but disagree that Brett threw a punch.

I thought Brett attempted to grab Blair by the shoulders and drag him to the ground.

 

[master blaster]

at 1.30 on the foxsports website,Gallop is going to do alive stream and give his take

 

[The Wheel]

Hope there are sub titles as Gallop will make no sense

Agreed the still shot shows him in a tackling motion trying to drag him off

 

[WAMF]

Brace now. This is going to be ugly and hefty.

 

[mickqld]

So now we have the grandstanding media whore having a press conference to announce what? That he has control over the NRL and knows how to run the game. What a farce. Are there penalties in place for these sorts of incidents....NO. Just look at all the melee's and brawls in the past where 3rd man in maybe gets sin binned and nothing more. Where players throwing punches at each other get reprimanded by refs and nothing more. Where tools like Thaiday continually inflame situations and never get punished. If the players so far named who rushed in get anything more than a reprimand then this truely will be Gallops bias towards our club shining through and Manly will need to fight this on the argument of precedent as hard as they can. Only Hinchcliffe Blair Lussick and Gift deserve to have any sort of suspension handed to them for striking and at the most 2 weeks.

All though i believe 1 week each for Stewart and Blair and fines all round would suffice i fear we will be rubbed out of the rest of this year.

Its half and half (intentions vs what actually happened), he came in with his arm around the top, I dont think they will look kindly on it, thats for sure.

 

[Captain Moondog]

1.32 pm nothing.

Come on Gallop you bloody prima donna.

pretty sure he was trying to rip Blair off Glen, aggressivly definatly but not trying to punch

I heard it's now 2pm? they are always late..

 

[mickqld]

The wanker can't even keep to a simple time schedule.

 

[Central Coast Eagle]

Is it on the radio anywhere??

 

[brookiegreg]

I heard it's now 2pm? they are always late..

Lots of decisions and ramifications to talk through for all concerned at such a judiciary. Its not always straightforward esp in controversial situations and there's the legal boys who advise the NRL judiciary who have to weigh in with opinions on the matters if required.

Plenty of 'grey areas' here I suspect so that means it will take plenty of time

 

[DSM5]

There's method to this lateness. The later the announcement the greater the disruption for us to get a team together. Why couldn't the judiciary meet at the weekend and settle this stuff by Sunday is beyond me. It stinks.

 

[fLIP]

Gallop needs time to go through and white out any melbourne references from the statement.
