I thought that happened a bit later in the match.
*Edit*......yep, happened when he was bumped in the air trying to take a high ball.

Absolute corrupt bullshit.
The judiciary needs to be completely dismantled and started again, run entirely by an independent 3rd party with the NRL having absolutely no say on anything, including hiring. They give them the rule book, the 3rd party does the rest.
Who ever thought dumb **** footballers were ideal judges in understanding legalities?
Should our judges all be ex Bikie thugs because they understand the emotion?

He won't be smiling when he's barely scraping into the eight or missing it completely without Smith.
They weren't, the NRL rep gave very clear instructions that would have resulted in a conviction in a court of law. If you read the blog it says that Slater was staring at the dude for 10 minutes straight after he told the judiciary what was required, I assume because he knew he was gone. The NRL had other ideas.

Because we had hope Sproj.
That there was a line in the sand, that there are some things that are so blatant and impossible to justify that even the NRL would not cross it for fear of wholesale mutiny.
But all hope is lost Sproj. And you know what? The NRL have won. Because they know that people like me, like us, the rusted on fans, will still keep supporting their teams, will back them even harder now, not even despite the fact, but because of the fact that parasitic teams like the Storm will forever get favouritism, simply to appeal to a demographic that does not give a shit about League and likely never will.

The problem I have is not that Billy Slater got off. Good luck to him. It is the sheer hypocracy of it all.
Judicaries letting players off for fairytale finishes sounds nice until you realise how many others have not been so lucky, simply because they were further down the popularity/marketing pecking order.
Combine this with officiating that has different decisions on ingame errors depending on the penalty count and you start to pity the players who are expected to put up with the whole fiasco, let alone us fans who see a game we use to love being made into WWE with a ball, destroying the soul of the game in the process.

Didn't his rotator cuff implode?

Word is going around that it could just be a contusion, which would mean he could play.
No one has actually been able to confirm what type of rotator cuff injury it is. If it's a tear, he's fucked though.

I don't give a crap what Slater was trying to do
The fact is he produced a shoulder charge
Intent can inform the grading
He got the lowest possible grade so that means he had no intent
No problem with me, it's still a week on the sidelines
Lack of intent doesn't mean no charge/not guilty FFS

Yeah, I don't really get the intent thing. I'm sure most players don't intend to injure a player or do something illegal, but if it happens you need to face the consequences, intent should be irrelevant.
But all of a sudden if you don't intend to do it it doesn't matter? If the believe there was intent that should be a different conversation about the length of suspension/fit to play the game, just because you are doing wwhat most people do doesn't mean you should get off.
