"Knowles has asked for Walsh to be banned for four matches. He has now submitted two extra documents. He said this is a serious case of contrary conduct and that there is a need for a serious deterrent. Walsh is not entitled to a discount as he pleaded not guilty. Ghabar has sought a one-match ban."

So this could be worse than calling the ref a "fucking cheat".

"Serious deterrent" - isn't that also the exact words that were used against Pat last year in the one-and-done hip drop crackdown? DD needs to swing that big dick around again, this is beyond a joke now.

10.10pm – Bellew said the majority of the panel were satisfied that the player had a tendency to challenge referee’s decision. The majority placed little weight on evidence of Fifita and Carrigan and did not accept all evidence of Walsh – particularly that he did not dispute referee’s decision of an obstruction call. They were satisfied that Walsh was looking beyond Carrigan at the referee when he spoke.

10.06pm – Reece Walsh has been found GUILTY of contrary conduct towards a match official. The panel was unable to reach a unanimous verdict, with the casting vote decided by judiciary chairman Justice Geoffrey Bellew.

**** that is bad aye... that's honestly really, really poor. "Conspiracy theorists"...

It’s a good result. It’s important for the game to make sure referees are respected.

They aren't. F#ct the cheating c#nts

 

[Foordy]

But did he abuse the ref?

they seem to have stopped that line of question 3 hours ago

 

[FACTHUNT]

Only in the NRL:

3 people involved say he didn’t say it to the ref.

The ref: I don’t think he said it to me

NRL judiciary: GuiLtY!

It’s a good result. It’s important for the game to make sure referees are respected.

Agree, but hard to respect officials when they are so incompetent.

 

[Manofoneway]

Even though I think he was innocent, it is a terrible look watching him attack referees the way he does.

 

[Kimlo]

If they settle on 2 weeks I'm happy with that. He deserves a week or two for being a hothead regardless or the farcical process.

 

[Battler]

What a circus. The media got their way and can now write Walsh, the broncos ‘incoming slide down the ladder’, and ‘who replaces Reece for qld?’ dribble articles for weeks.

 

[Foordy]

the fact that the panel was split should mean a lessor sentence in a fair world ... but the NRL have no use for the word fairness

 

[Super Freak]

10.13pm – Knowles has asked for Walsh to be banned for four matches. He has now submitted two extra documents. He said this is a serious case of contrary conduct and that there is a need for a serious deterrent. Walsh is not entitled to a discount as he pleaded not guilty. Ghabar has sought a one-match ban.

 

[Scorchie]

Everyone's least favorite Penrith cheerleader-turned-lawyer has been saving up memes to get one back @ Reece following the Luai debacle! What a night for her!

 

[mrslong]

2 weeks yes, 4 weeks are you kidding.

 

[Harry Sack]

I'd argue calling the ref a cheat is worse personally. Therefore he shouldn't get more than Smith tbh

 

[Fitzy]

Anyone know the 360 director? I’ll give my two cents worth on behalf of us. I’ll be assassinated before I’m out of the studio.

 

[BroncsFan]

"Walsh is not entitled to a discount as he pleaded not guilty"

How exactly was Walsh meant to enter a guilty plea when the match report didn't indicate that he swore at the official and they didn't give him a charge... they just sent him straight to the judiciary... he had no real choice but to submit a not guilty.

Who?

Yeah, and it should have just been the charge and call from the start. "Contrary conduct/Not in the spirit of the game/Disrepute. Don't backchat the refs. Cool your jets for 2 weeks. Done"
