Cam Smith & Melbourne's Wrestling/Grappling.

Prediction: Will challenge, and will win.

Yeah, he's the Australian captain after all. Not like he's got a prior history of the same offence or anything.

He's not the Australian captain ffs, Lockyer is.

Yes he is.

Lockyer withdrew from the team.

The season of Melbourne Storm captain Cameron Smith looks to be over after he was charged with contrary conduct by the NRL match review committee.

Smith was charged for this grapple tackle on Brisbane's Sam Thaiday during the Storm's last minute win over the Broncos on Saturday night.

There's no word of Lockyer's withdrawal from the World Cup team, and I doubt he would.

 

[Kaz]

Double post.

centenary year and all that...there's no way. WC Final in Brisbane. There's no way.

 

[Kaz]

Say what?

The last test match Lockyer withdrew from the team, so that makes Smith the captain by default.


I am not talking about the WC team that hasn't been picked yet. [icon_lol1.

 

[Coxy]

Lockyer is still officially Australian Rugby League captain. It's on their books as that's the case. He will be selected there when the final squad is named.

 

[mrslong]

yes, it is like when Corey Parker is named captain for the Broncos in Origin time...he's still not the captain :P

 

[Kaz]

But at the time Smith was the captain, so the record books will have Smith as the captain at the time.

 

[last|soldier]

Guys I think we all know when the team is named Lockyer is the captain. Smith only filled in because Lockyer was injured. I don't see a point in arguing any other way on some technicality. Frankly don't see the point in debating it at all.

 

[Coxy]

Sure, captain of that game. But Lockyer is still the ARL's captain.

 

[mrslong]

Frankly don't see the point in debating it at all.

It takes our mind off the pain to be focussing on something trivial... [icon_frown

but let's get back on topic.

Burn the Smiths Chips at the stake!!! BURN BABY BURN!!! [icon_evillaugh

Hasn't been much press of any Melbourne players mucking up. Mainly because no journalists or punters down there would recognise them...

LOL at all the Melbourne lovers trying to defend this ****.

LOL at the blind hatred that spews forth from this forum constantly.

I am as shattered and heartbroken as the next, however WE lost the game. They didn't win it. They didn't do abnormal things to make us lose. We weren't that kid in class being picked on.

We straight lost it. Excuses will never bring the game back.

FTR; Smith should get 2 weeks, but the over the top ranting is what is LOL'able, not the people defending this charge.

The only real question is;

Why hasn't Crocker been charged? His first contact was with Kemp's chin. That is a grade 1 immediatly?

 

[Je$ter]

Or because they know when to stop when out in public?
