NEWS Judiciary: Live blog - Carrigan Four Week Suspension

[Galah]

submissions finalised. panel retired to deliberate

Basically nothing said mattered and 7 weeks

360 finally show the McGuire tackle and you can hear Anasta gasp at how bad it is... but they don't spend any time talking about it.

So apparently there's no need to show an example of a previous hip drop tackle and explain why Pat's is apparently worse and deserves a higher grading... fuckwits

And still people try and argue this is coordinated and orchestrated…

effectively we asked for 2 weeks ... the NRL asked for 6

Where are you getting your info from Foordy?

Sounds like we went for a Grade 2 charge... probably should've went for a Grade 3... no way will the judiciary accept a Grade 2

Alternatively Ghabar is thinking we ask for 2 weeks, they ask for 5-6, let's split the difference and go for 4 weeks.

Does he realise he's not defending a Sydney team this week??

They'll add the two together and bam 8 weeks

NRL 360.

I’ve been warming up my tinfoil hat all day, this shit is so corrupt.

 

[Mustafur]

It’s a pretty weak defence. Patty was third man in and pulled them all down. He didn’t even need to get involved. There was no duty of care.

The amount of tackles that have 2 on the attacker and one coming down low to get them to the ground is endless.

6:50pm: Ghabar said there was no comparison to the tackle by McGuire on Addo-Carr last season, which forced the Melbourne winger from the field for seven minutes and cost the Dragons forward a five-match ban.

"This was, with respect, at least reckless," Ghabar said of the McGuire tackle. "It was precisely what Mr Annesley talks about in his memorandum - the full weight of player McGuire was on the lower leg.


He said the difference between that tackle and the tackle by player Carrigan was three-fold:

• McGuire lands directly on the foot [of Addo-Carr], it was his full weight unlike player Carrigan, whose weight landed on the ground.
• There was direct force involved and certainly that was the intent of the tackler
• The contribution of fellow Dragons tackler Andrew McCullough was a "positive" in that he pulled Addo-Carr forward and to the side, which allowed McGuire to remove himself from the tackle.

7:05pm: Ghabar suggested that the penalty imposed on Carrigan should be no greater than two matches.

"What player McGuire did himself in that tackle compared to what player Carrigan did in the case before you is a higher level. They are not even in the same ball park," he said. "It is carless, but not reckless."

 

[Mustafur]

2-3 matches is what I think is fair, but this is a witch hunt trial.

 

[Morkel]

He sounds almost competent and is using logic and clear comparisons. And it will be completely ignored by the NSWRL.

 

[Foordy]

7.27: The hearing adjourned

7:12pm: Knowles responded by pointing out that Carrigan did not need to join the tackle on Hastings as he was already held by two other Broncos defenders.
