Slater Knob Fest

[ManWar]

Wow didn’t see that coming...

 

[The Wheel]

Well put this in the black book for the next poor bloke who fronts up on the next shoulder charge

 

[Normie]

What an absolute farce! Love to hear what the ruling was: “We had already engraved Billy’s name on the Churchill medal so it would be a waste if we couldn’t give it to him!”.........

 

[mickqld]

Aaaaand the farce continues. How can anyone take this sport seriously anymore. Turdberger is the clown running this circus and no one has any balls to challenge his appalling record.

Pretty much.

There is officially no such thing as a shoulder charge from this day forward.

League must be the only game in the world where rules are black one day and white the next, where 100 years of expertise and precedent can be overturned in a second.

It was a shoulder charge, an action that was legal until 5 years ago. Now they are illegal, and now that thing billy did isn’t a shoulder charge.

It's not a sport anymore. It's a scripted TV show 'filmed in front of a live audience'.

 

[47MVEagle]

What a joke.

 

[SeaEagle21]

I won't be watching, whether or not it was a soft charge it's the consistency of other players who brace themselves and get weeks on the sideline vs the full force Slater hit Feki with to deny a.try and probably contributed to the shoulder injury soon after. I'm not surprised as the media runs the game and the Billy lovefest story is too good to pass up.

That was say or I don’t know say turbo or dce or walker gone see yah later.
I don’t want any injuries but please karma let jwh or Napa put one on slater the grub.
Really now slater can do whatever he wants on Sunday, he will be at his grubby best.
We can all see it , cc winner billy storm 24.
If cooper does not play our record could be gone if Melbourne are in a mood.

 

[47MVEagle]

I'm appalled by the result but unfortunately can't say I'm surprised by it.

I'm more surprised by the gall the NRL has in such obvious favouring of certain clubs & players in these situations - it never ceases to amaze me how blatant they are in it.

 

[Scorpio]

That will do me.

Enjoy the grand final... I'm going to give it a miss.

Not sure how many other NRL Players there are but everyone one of them would have been suspended tonight

Bingo. A money making fairytale.

 

[Real Deal]

Well, stump me, there's a surprise!
Yes the rule is an overreach, but every player who has been rubbed out for far less - and Jorge Tafua and Willie Mason immediately come to mind must allow themselves a bitter and rueful smile. One rule for them, another for an elite who gets way with dirty play all through his carefully managed career. The stench of this will hang around the NRL management like a rotting albatross.

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

I notice martina came as back up to the tribunal carrying a man bag it must of been full of brown paper bags to hand out as gifts for the panel

 

[Ranga]

This game is so contrived ... but for my love of the mighty MWSE I wouldn’t bother.

 

[Kevinward777]

Hooper just had to roll out his “he’s an ornament to the game” line. Fair dinkum, how do these imbeciles get into journalism?

 

[davohan123]

Imagine exact same tackle but happens to the Melbourne wingers
Send off and 10 in the bin to the rooster player you can see it now.
Tonight’s verdict proves that from the moment billy announced his retirement no one, not one of the other 15 nrl clubs really ever had a chance this year.
Scares me to think what billy now will get away with on Sunday.
I hate the easts for what they did to us in 2013 and what they have got away with in tpa area of of the game but now after tonight has reminded me how much I hate the storm and what they stand for .

Other than Smith, Thurston and Cronk.
