Hayne out of Origin?

This is the best summary of the case against Hayne I've seen. And it's from a Sydney writer! Amazing!

JARRYD HAYNE'S headbutt on Billy Slater was unprovoked, intentional and an unacceptable action.

Therein lies the NRL prosecution's case at tonight's judiciary hearing to decide whether the Parramatta fullback can play for NSW in State of Origin II at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday week. It may not have been the worst headbutt ever seen on a rugby league field, but prosecutor Peter Kite will tell the judiciary panel that there is no place for such behaviour in the game.

He will also argue that Hayne was the aggressor in the spiteful incident and may have been fortunate to escape a second charge for a grapple tackle. Melbourne and Queensland fullback Billy Slater had taken exception to the tackle, with Hayne appearing to have him in a headlock, but he was not the aggressor in the later incident that occurred seconds later in the 62nd minute.

As the pair got to their feet, words were exchanged and Slater pushed Hayne, but that is no excuse for Hayne headbutting him. Everything that followed afterwards was a direct result of that headbutt.

Hayne may say that his actions were a moment of madness, but to headbutt someone is a deliberate action that has long been considered at the upper end of violent acts on the football field. There has never been any place in the game for headbutting and Hayne's actions cannot be tolerated.

To let him off so he can represent the Blues in Origin II would be sending the wrong message to the thousands of kids who play the game and their parents, particularly after Australian and Queensland halfback Johnathan Thurston was last week cleared of his foul-mouthed tirade against referee Jason Robinson.

To do so would suggest that the stars of the game such as Hayne and Thurston don't have to abide by the same rules as everyone else.

Hayne also has a previous judiciary record and was suspended for a spear tackle in Origin two seasons ago, and he escaped a ban by pleading guilty to a dangerous contact charge for leading with his feet during last year's finals series. Without the 20 per cent loading from that last charge, he would be able to escape suspension by pleading guilty and receiving a 25 per cent discount but his past has caught up with him.

I'd say Hayne will fight the charge and win...just predicting.

I agree with this too. Fuckin NSW scumbags.

The guy who belts the crap out of Hayne is Keiron Lander. I went to school with him. Tough as nails and a great great rugby union player. Played half a game with a broken jaw. Man he put on some HUGE hits when he played shcool boy rugby.

Exactly, Hayne headbutted Slater and he intended to do it. It might have been the weakest headbutt in the history of mankind but the intent was there.

And I don't buy this rubbish that because a suspension would rule a player out of Origin or a final that there should be special treatment. You do the crime, you do the time.

Slater should really be suspended for trying to elbow Hayne in the head, if we're going by the 'the intent was there' thing.

+1

IMO he was lucky to play the Grand Final last year. Cameron Smith missed a GF because of stupid and foul play. Now its Hayne's turn to miss a game.

Sterlo went on about this on Triple M last night. Managed to come up with some shit about how 1 Origin game is the equivalent of 25 Club games or something. Fucking ridiculous.

And ning: I agree, Slater should've been cited. But ultimately what happened to Slater can't be used as evidence for Hayne so it's a moot point.

So going by Sterlo's maths, Darren Lockyer has played nearly 900 origin games? Interesting.

Well no, he's saying a player might play 250 first grade games and only 10 Origins...so to miss an Origin is like missing 25 club games....apparently.

Sterlo comes up with some stupid shit sometimes! What an idiot 1 origin game is equal to 25 club games my arse. If that is the case the macth review board should say Jarrod you have two options
Option 1: Play origin 2 and miss 25 club games
Option 2: Miss origin for a week and dont miss any club games.

Really really really hard decision for Hayne to make...................I wonder which one he would choose eusa_think

 

[Coxy]

The point he was really making is that a 1 week ban in the NRL is fair enough, but that it's "manifestly harsh" to miss an Origin game...that NRL punishments should only apply to NRL games.

I think that's BS.

 

[Nashy]

If it was a QLD player, I doubt he'd give a ****.

 

[jarro65]

Hayne's been cleared to play.

I guess he and Slater can sort it out once and for all next wednesday night

Source?

If that's true I'm not sure why we have the judiciary. The most talented and well liked players can do whatever the **** they want.

I hope they do sort it out.

I hope big Mal tells Slater to pull his head in and let the footy do the talking.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Hayne is free to play, NSW strikes again. Hayne is the most protected species in the game IMO.

Typical NSW screw job.
