NAS wasn't charged for his 50th knee lift either
Yep what a joke, he absolutely said ****. The NRL have buried it because the touchie is female and Nicho is the reigning Dally M, what a horrible look for the game.Hasn't been charged by the looks. Was charged for his trip though. Fine only.
Fox have put out an article, but gone with the "it's unclear what he said" and then quoted number 1 ticket holder Buzz who was probably still drunk from the pasting Manly dished out.Yep what a joke, he absolutely said ****.

I'll be shocked if any journo has the nuts to call it what it is.
That was all part of the 'secret' plan.
I have no idea how the mrc can look at that incident and go 'nothing to see here.'
(unless I missed something).
Crackdown is in effect... the league sent out a warning letter to all clubs last week that there would be a focus on 'bumpers' and high contact from ball carriers.Me too, but even though it happened after Taupau's incident, you could argue that it happened "at the same time" as it happened during the same round and any supposed crackdown is yet to be discussed.
If the same happens again though (NAS or JS doing it and not being charged) I'd for sure be considering it for The Book.
He questioned the integrity of the ref nothing, Walsh swore in the vicinity and they couldn't prove it was aimed at the ref, and that's 3 weeks.
Total bull****.

Why haven't they completed a deep dive and provided captions from their audio???
NRL have also set a precedent with the Walsh case, as I believe the wording was along the lines of "regardless of if Walsh directed his comments at the ref, it was in their opinion that he directed his comments at the decision."The NRL is likely also hoping no one saw Burton say 'F*** off' to the ref / in the vicinity of the ref during their game as well.
I might also add, it was the same ref that Walsh copped three weeks for 'abusing'.

That effectively means anyone swearing or carrying on about a decision should be charged.
The **** off from Burton would fall into that... but he's a darling player so will be ignored.
Yeah, you're right. It looked like Nelson knew what he was doing.You'd have to admit though.......Marty's was a bit different.
I don't know just what the **** he was trying to do, but it was as awkward as **** and he clearly got it wrong.
That's a paddlin'........
Annesley on why "golden boy" Nicho Hynes wasn't charged for abusing the officials:
“My understanding is that he (Gough) reacted quite strongly because he felt Nicho had been complaining about decisions on multiple occasions during the course of the game and he’d had enough of it at that stage,” Annesley said.
“The match review committee have reviewed the video and audio and spoke with the official concerned and there’s no evidence of any untoward language used and no offence taken by the officials in relation to what was said.
“Players are always going to be upset when decisions don’t go their way.”

Is there any more to that? If not, I hope the Broncos issue the NRL with a show cause notice for Walsh's suspension.
