CROSS FORUM NRL 2023 Round 23 Discussion

[Sproj]

Wayne having a post-loss sook in the press conference, was fun to watch. Wonder if he might release another press release or something about how the Broncos are doing so well because of him just to make himself feel better again.

And yet JWH continues to just get fines. His hit on Haas was just as bad.

Same with Luai, I just don't understand how his is a grade 1 and Burgess is grade 2. Very similar and Luai didn't even attract a penalty.

Initially I thought the fine system for repeated offences would be OK, but its really a terrible system and has no real dis-incentive for the player or club, considering repeated offence fines would only amount to something like 5% or less of a medium tier player and above's yearly wage(lower for elite, slightly higher for fringe players). Either dramatically increase fines or go back to automatic suspension for 3rd and subsequnt offence.

1. In Australia is it legal in our workplace laws to fine an employee for accidental mistakes? And if so, what other professions impose such draconian penalties?
2. Do players actually pay the fines, or their clubs?

Very fair point, all the more reason to get rid of fines and go back to suspensions. I just assumed players payed the fines, but I'm not sure. Though didnt Ryan Matterson elect to get suspended instead of paying fines, which ended up dis-advantaging Parra? I remember there was a big controversy, thought Paramatma the club very were angry he went for suspension over fine.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Strong start by Parra but Dragons have equaled with two quick tries.

Moses parts the seas and takes another dive

 

[Silvertails.net]

Oh FFS. NRL making up rules and interpretations on the run

 

[GCBRONCO]

Roach calling that a head slam, his head didn't hit well after his back hit the ground.

 

[Browny]

So the bunker is just gonna ignore 2 bad tackles

 

[Fozz]

Lomax with the Rock Bottom there

 

[GCBRONCO]

that was a poor grubber Hunt

 

[GCBRONCO]

Eels in allsorts and probably would be more if it wasn't for the ref keeping them in it

 

[Fozz]

Eels getting away with murder in the ruck but Hunt still catches them napping on the wing

 

[GCBRONCO]

Dragons just carving Eels up on that right hand side

 

[Broncos Maestro]

Eels are pretenders-St George killing them easily. Never understood all the **** sucking about “King” Guthro.
