That is wonderful, great to see the NRL treats all clubs and players fairly...!

Oh wait............sorry about that.......have just returned from that parallel nice universe.....to this current one, where they treat 'some' clubs and players fairly and then 'some' they just persecute, victimize and discriminate against at will.......!!
 
Yup, a complete lack of surprise on my behalf.

And Sam's "Awww, he hit me! ...I was just standing there and had to brace." Like he was some innocent bystander that wandered onto a footy field.

He also said...his shoulder hit my head...so how can that be a shoulder charge. If that's true, it was only because Sam was a bad aim himself.

It's almost as bad as the Billy Slater's "His head hit my foot." defence.

The 3 'honourable men' on the judiciary need to change. It seems they have overcome their initial opposition to the brown paper bag life and have embraced it in all its glory. - allegedly.
 
So how did his brother escape the 2 attempted elbows to the head or are punching and slapping the only no no's now.

Ah well you see, the official reason was that he was 'just trying to avoid a headlock' therefore no charges deemed necessary.

That is a ****ing joke, should have been 3 weeks compared to Taupau's and Fonua-Blake's shots
 
For me the whole shoulder charge concept is suspect. The REAL issue for is ALL dangerous tackles which cause concussion or serious injury. These tackles sit under the radar week after week while the NRL wrings its hands over all shoulder charges - even completely innocuous ones like AFB's against a Parrmatta player. By all means cite players for serious shoulder charges, but I haven't seen one of these this season! Lloyd Perrett's eye socket injury during that match was completely overlooked and I could cite numerous others this season. Typical case of NRL straining gnats and swallowing camels!

Sam was super happy with the verdict as you can see.
