OFFICIAL 2023 TEAM UPDATE: SECOND BEST

Watch this space for latest injuries, suspensions and training updates.

GRAND FINAL



SUSPENDED

INJURED

Willison: ankle, season over.



LATEST JUDICIARY
 
Three match ban seems rough but would be consistent with the Smith suspension?

Abusing the ref has no place in the game, always impressed by how players can make it to elite level in sport and have not learned that lesson.
 
@Nashy I’ve just come off night shifts. So pending if I’ve had coffee, had a root lately, if I’ve got the shits with the missus or the bosses at work would all factor into arresting you.

@Browny @Jason Simmons - Update to the scenario. I'm a bit of a grub in general, so you know of me, but you can still clearly see that in this moment, shit was an accident. Would you still charge me?
If you showed up with Churro in tow.......most def!! 😁
 
I haven't been following the last couple of days and have mixed messages on Walsh's punishment.

Do we have a definite answer on whether the SOO counts as part of the three match ban? Or is he just ineligible for selection?

1. Round 18 Dolphins (banned)
2. SOO: (ineligible) or (banned)
3. Round 19 Bye
4. Round 20 Bulldogs (banned)
5. Round 21 Souths (???)
6. Round 22 Roosters (available)
NRL.com now saying he's due back Round 21, so they must be including the Origin game:

I don’t see how they can’t include it even if they wanted to. Radley was able to use origin as a game when he was suspended and he’d never played origin and wasn’t even in contention. Walsh is the current QLD fullback, so they just can’t not give it to him.

It's a bit of a twilight paradox: he'd have to be named first and then suspended. But because he's not available he can't be named. We have to take it for granted he's selected before the team is named. He probably is, but he only has two games under his belt. He's not Tedesco.

Imagine if the player in question were Selwyn Cobbo, for example. Is he an instant pick? Your guess is as good as mine. I think that depends on this weekend.

I think they would've had to ask for a special exemption or something. That's what I read somewhere, but I can't remember where.

It's a pretty steep punishment, even just financially. I hope whatever reason they really had for dishing it out was justified.

Agreed but again, it doesn’t matter whether he’s played 2 or 20 origins, it is still more than Radley and that should be the precedent.

I posted the criteria for the exemption in this thread.

They only need to establish the likelihood of being selected. He met that criteria so the Origin game is included.

Was Radley named?

Im getting suspicious of you and your allegiances to the Broncos Mchunt.
Very suspicious indeed.

Sorry, I missed that. Edit: no, I didn't. I think that's where I read about the exemption and then I saw NRL.com had him coming back a round later.

I don't remember the Radley ruling. That fucker is always suspended. I hope he's not suspended against us so he can get sent off and suspended again.

I remember Lote's TBA. At least there's none of those shenanigans necessary.

I'm a bit suss about @Mr Fourex
