I can't believe Peachey is getting off so lightly. Deliberately dumping a bloke on his head well after the whistle is pretty bad. I mean, everyone knows the judiciary is shite but this is poor even by their very low standards.

Smorgasbord posted:edit: there we go, 3-4 weeks depending on plea while Tyrone Peachey's deliberate, after the whistle, lift and drop on the head gets 1-2 weeks. That's what pisses me off. Peachey's act was intentional and dirty and deserves much more than Hurrell.

Kiwi player getting a long suspension while an Australian gets a lighter sentence for a far worse indiscretion...what a surprise. I hate to be that guy but this poo poo happens so much.

Real fans stay at home and don't bother to support their teams when they haven't been recently successful. Real fans only go to games when their team looks like they're on track to win the grand final!

bowmore posted:it doesn't It doesn't happen as often as it used to, but it does happen. It used to be fairly common for Kiwis to get harsher outcomes at the judiciary in the lead-up to a Test. It's not helped when the judiciary sees someone dumping a player on his head and only getting a handful of weeks is dumb especially considering all the faux soul-searching that was swirling around league when McKinnon got injured. At some point it's going to make other people feel like they're being singled out, especially if their team has a good reason to have a historical chip on their shoulder. The reality now though is that is that sporting judiciaries are just inept in every code. Super Rugby has been plagued by it this year.

See I always thought the way they treated McLean for the McKinnon tackle was disgraceful and an inconsistent overreaction biased towards the injury to the player, but now I've seen on his wikipedia page he is actually of Maori descent it makes a lot more sense in the overall context of the systemic Rugby League conspiracy against the nation of New Zealand

the tackle was worth seven weeks even if he didn't get injured, they pinned his arms to his side and drove his head into the ground or is it a kiwi conspiracy

A few updates on the outpouring of support for Danny Jones, the Keighley player that collapsed and died during a game a few weeks ago: --Keighley had their first home match since the tragedy this weekend, and on the back of a big online campaign for fans of other clubs to come out and support his family they drew 4,066 to the game (their average crowd is about 700, if that provides perspective) --The club said they will honor the remainder of his contract with the proceeds going into a trust fund for his twin children --A donation page has already hit £120,000 (the club chairman says he wants it to hit £1 mil before the end of the season), plus a separate bucket collection at the match raised £10,000.

No, but if you compare it to the Peachey tackle it's pretty clear intent and angle are disregarded in punishment in favour of any sustained injury by the judiciary. Peachey could have easily injured Blair as badly as McKinnon and he only gets two weeks because? Because he didn't. e; for clarity I'm not complaining about the extent of punishments (they should be long as hell) but rather the consistency Thinking fucked around with this message at 22:46 on May 12, 2015 |

Actually, you'd omit Luke Lewis? He usually performs at state level, is versatile and has been in good form for the Sharks. I would place him on the bench over Tariq Sims, or he could even take Cordner's spot

Austin is one of those players who is tearing it up at club level but it's a complete mystery how he'd go in the big games. It's not like Queensland would be like the Titans last week and just fall for his dummies over and over letting him stroll straight through. Although it'd be very nice if they did.

Peachey could have easily injured Blair as badly as McKinnon and he only gets two weeks because? Because he didn't. imo They should institute a blanket ban for lifting past the horizontal 6 weeks, 10 weeks if it's your second offense. At the moment players don't seem to give a gently caress. I garuntee you this origin period we'll see it happen again. If its a QLDer doing the lifting it'll be 4-6 weeks at a minimum if its a NSW player it'll be a week if at all. Lifting and high shots should be like Rugby, an instant 10 minute sin bin. There's no reason not to send players off for it now days, it's almost as if the refs have been told not to send anyone off unless they punch someone. Peachey should have been gone instantly and should be out for a month. bowmore posted:I got bored, here is my Blues team for round 1 My guess for the Qld Team: 1. Billy Slater (should probably be Inglis but it's stronger as a unit with them both out there 2. Darius Boyd (i'd have Gaiguy here instead - but I think it'll be boyd) 3. Greg Inglis 4. Hodges 5. Chambers 6. Thurston 7. Cronk 8. Matt Scott 9. Cameron Smith 10. Nate Myles 11. Sam Thaiday 12. Gavin Cooper 13. Corey Parker 14. Josh McGuire 15. Aiden Guerra 16.

bowmore posted:He killed it in the city/country game so combine that with his club form I think he's totally ready Yeah the defense worries me, he's got a lot of missed tackles, but I worry a little bit about Qld's strike ability this year. Slater is still good, but unspectacular, inglis is unstoppable seeminly when he wants to be and Boyd is a bit of a wildcard. The way I see origin this year is that Qld are the stronger team defensively and they'll be more capable of having a slow game and grinding out a win, but I see NSW as more capable of having that quick strike ability where they can go from being 4 points down to ahead by 8 points in two minutes. Maybe instead of DCE they could go with Segeyaro and give cam a 10 minute break at the end of the half and see if he can create something out of dummy half when teams are starting to tire.

Rapira, Ikahihifo and Lousi are all ahead of him. I think the club is just giving him a chance to earn a contract beyond this year, and I'm ok with that. I would have preferred him to have gone to a club that isn't the Cunts though.
