Hodges on report

[WayBDay]

Hodges tackle was horrible. He should have been sent off and should go for some time! Hayne's was silly.

 

[mick]

Hodges and Hayne should get the same IMO. 4 weeks, see ya later. Terrible decisions from both of them...

 

[Dexter]

I do get it was late & avoidable, but it's not worth 6 weeks. [icon_evillaugh

If he get 6 weeks for that, then players lifting in a tackle will get most of the season.

A spear tackle will get them 2+ years. [icon_ee

And I would have no problem with an old fashioned spear tackle getting 2 years.

 

[Kaz]

Come on, Hayne's lifting tackle didn't compare to Hodges' tackle mick. Maybe you folks a the game didn't see it as good - But Hodges had Riddell completely horizontal. (And it so late). Hayne's tackle was a lifting tackle too, but Hodges was lucky to stay on the field IMO.

Hayne could get longer, as the ref had already blown the whistle & he then tackled him.

 

[Coxy]

Yeah, Hayne's and Hodges' were both very late Rock, not a lot of difference. Only luck that Carroll landed more on his upper back, whereas Riddell landed almost entirely on shoulders and neck.

 

[Scorchie]

Late or not, nothing excuses the garbage biased reporting from down south (SMH -v- News) where Hayne gets a few words and Hodges gets an entire paragraph prefixed by "horrible" and "violent".

Grrr!

 

[Andyman]

I could be wrong, but I think that the reason Rogers got 4 weeks is because he tried to contest it. If he had taken the early plea he would have got 3 (?). Also, Hodges got let off after the Titans game tackle, even though it occured after the Rogers incident.

No excuse for Hodges' tackle. His bulls**t will cost us a game one day (maybe even a season if he is suspended for long enough).

I reckon he will get 2-3 weeks.

 

[Beachy]

I thought Haynes tackle after the whistle on Carroll was way worse

Please tell me you're not serious?

 

[Steve]

Hodges displayed very poor leadership. IMO these sorts of brain snaps justify him being overlooked for captain when Lockyer isn't in the team. It was an awful tackle. The thing I'm annoyed about is how unnecessary it was. He's really made life difficult for Brisbane with the rep season upon us.

You're right about Rogers, but Hodges has carry over points and will get extra loading because it's a similar offence to the one earlier in the season. He could face 4-5 if he gets the same grading as Rogers (grade 2). Which he should.

 

[broncosil]

His head didn't actually make FIRST contact with the ground. It was his arms. Then his head.

Still a stupid tackle, and because it is origin time he will go for 3-4 weeks. Really dumb thing to do.

The elbow to Kemps face and the tackle Hayne made were worse .

Riddell did overact it though.

 

[Broncos08]

The elbow to Kemps face and the tackle Hayne made were worse .

.

Ya know when that try was being awarded with the elbow to Kemps face, Parker and I think Hodges was blowing up to the ref ,and he just told them to " go away,It's a try".

I cannot see any reason why A captain should be told to " go away" for complaining about a foul play, especially in the lead up to a try that the video ref can have a look at.

Especially when Hodges tackle was called after a complete set was made. Then a penalty was given. This is the second time this has happened (first in Titans game). They should have revoked the try and awarded the Broncos the penalty.

2-3? If Hodges gets 2-3 it'll be an absolute disgrace IMO. Rogers got 4 for his (with no carry over points I believe) and Rogers one was no where near as bad. Have a look at it again. Hodges was late, he grabs him and throws him on the ground. It was completely hozitontal, it was a terrible, terrible tackle. There is absolutely no way that they could rule that Hodges and Rogers incidents were equal.

I'm not going to compare it with the Rogers tackle because he got way too many weeks, and the judiciary seem to have realised this and relaxed a little.

I'll say it again: he didn't drive Riddell into the ground. In the past, the judiciary seem to favour tackles where the player pulls out early. I'm not commenting on whether they are right or wrong in doing so, it's just an observation.

Whatever he gets, I hope he comes back with a new attitude.

Agree. Hodges tackle was bad, however because he realized and didn't drive (after the initial lift he knew there was no way out) I can't see more than 4. I'm punting 3 weeks.

Hayne should be gone for 4, simply because everyone on the ground, in the stands and on TV knew the whistle was blown. Everyone had stopped, then he lifts and drives.

Good to see, that out of the ENTIRE Bronco team, it's a back (Hodges) who comes in to try and square up for his team mate.

I miss Tallis, Gee Gee and the Axe. A few years ago, Hayne would have been knocked down real quick.

Parker/ Thaiday/ Sims/ Clinton = soft.

 

[bronco_babe77]

This blows [icon_thumbs_do He'll be out for 4 weeks IMO. It was a stupid tackle but at least his head wasn't first point of contact and he didn't drive him into the ground. If a player can come back onto the field in the second half, it wasn't that bad.

Was glad that it was Riddel though...

 

[Kaz]

Thaiday is on report as well.

 

[Jazza]

I'd say 6-8 weeks. It was as bad a spear tackle as I've seen in a while

It wasn't a spear tackle.
