Other Games [Round 2, 2023]

[Kaufusi's Elbow]

Yeh, feels different not working for an NRL owned club ... could get away with elbowing blokes to the head no worries, even cut a few careers short no dramas ... now can't even tackle blokes off the ball any more !!

 

[StuBoot]

The NRL judiciary should be absolutely embarrassed by their grading discrepancy between the Kafusi and Sua'ali'i tackles. Fans are sick of perceived preferential treatment for certain teams and/or players.

When you read this from the NRL prosecutor why did Cody Walker only get charged with Grade 1 Contrary Conduct when he chased Sam Walker and forcibly shoved him in the back? The ball was well gone, Walker had relaxed and had no ability to protect himself.
What if Sam stayed down or was injured?
To me this was way worse than either Sualii's or Kaufusi's as it can't be defended as a late tackle.
They talk about things like the whiplash factor but ignore it on this occasion,...

 

[Rackets]

I reckon Kevvie was praying Kafusi got off, now he knows Wayney will use that suspension and how everything is going against them to motivate his troops. Should be a cracker of a game, but us and the vermon will be up there too. That should leave 2 undefeated teams after this round.
