Paseka fined only

[manlyfan76]

WTF goes on at NRL.com ?

From the article:

"Manly hooker Danny Levi was also successful in challenging a fine at the judiciary for the same offence"

Also:
"
On top of the players who accepted suspensions and those who went to the judiciary, 11 players accepted fines.
Taniela Paseka (Sea Eagles, $1700)".

Round 20 charges: Four banned; JWH, Levi not guilty

All the official charges from round 20 of the Telstra Premiership.

JWH must be blessed. Always avoids suspension. Uncle Nick must be getting tired of all the work he is putting in

I think we are lucky Tent only copped a fine...yeah there was no contact, but it didn't look good, and IIRC, this was his second time on a tripping charge.

Pisses me off!! He always gets off for the big games. Such a farcical load of rubbish

Paskeka is a lucky boy. I do not understand why he did what he did? Especially as the game was already won.

I hope he makes up for this by having a total blinder against the Drizzle.

On the few looks I’ve had, didn’t seem much in it to me.

Agreed.
Got off because no prior record.

That's a relief RE Tent. He's a massive in for us against the Storm pack.

As for JWH......

Nick has his ways...

Honest question, if you were one of the lower paid players, would you prefer a week or two off at full pay, or a fine, losing actual income? Think it's pretty harsh that $2,000 out of someone's livelihood is taken from them?

He has a small family, that relocated to Queensland for us all.

He hasn't broken a law. I find this pre-historic, and almost unethical.

Ahhhh. But do they actually pay it?
I've been asking this question for months.
And if so, how much is the NRL making from these fines and what are they using the money for?
This could be just a PR trick to make it look like the NRL is really serious about foul play.

Judiciary code reforms​

A fines system will be introduced for some low-grade offences following an extensive review of the NRL Judiciary system.
All fines must be paid by the player and the revenue generated by the payment of fines will be reinvested in player wellbeing and education related initiatives.

that's what I said months ago!!! (thanks!)

Then I got hit with - ah but how do we know the player pays them - so I was out.

hen I got hit with - ah but how do we know the player pays them - so I was out.

Just a guess - but the NRL actually plays the players salary as part of the grant to each club, so I assumed they just deduct fines from any months payment. If a club still passed on the full salary to the player it would actually be a salary cap breach. Although just a guess, as I say.

Nah, the NRL send the club's a monthly grant, and the players are.paid fortnightly I believe from memory.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

I'm feeling Paseka could be our golden goose come finals.
He's been building all year and it looks like Des has rested him over the last few games perhaps hoping he can springboard to next level.
More of the GC game runs from the back fence please....
