Roberts contrary conduct

[Porthoz]

This may not help... it's well into the ridicule, but nothing surprises me!

Re: Round 3 - Panthers vs Broncos

Yeah, Roberts will likely be charged for that.

Automatic one week suspension, isn't it?

Re: Round 3 - Panthers vs Broncos

Lol, no way he gets charged for that.

Re: Round 3 - Panthers vs Broncos

They charged klemmer for something simular
you just can't touch refs these days and I agree with it
if you want to get more refs then you need to make sure they are not touched during the game

Re: Round 3 - Panthers vs Broncos

I'm sure he'll be charged with a Grade 1 Contrary Conduct Charge.

It's worth 125 points, but with an early guilty plea it will be reduced to 94 points.

Roberts doesn't have any priors so he'll be free to play his former club.

Silly stuff from James.

 

[jarro65]

He should get charged, the NRL needs to crack down on this sort of behaviour and have a zero tolerance policy on touching the refs.

Roberts had no need to do what he did.

Nothing would surprise with this judiciary set-up!

The most offensive thing in that footage is going for a penalty goal with two minutes to go, up by 13.

 

[Nashy]

I hope they do charge him. You can't touch the ref, and the NRL can't pussy foot around. Charge him, show them you're serious.

 

[Strop]

Well, if consistency is a thing, then I guess he has to go through the process of a charge being laid. After that performance last night the refs are lucky not to have been bitch slapped rather than patted on the chest. As said, silly thing to do though after the Klemmer citing. I know this should be in another thread, but the refs seem to hold the Broncos to a different standard. Shits me.

Will Jamie Soward be charged for touching a ref,in his game ?

 

[Astro]

Is soward a bronco?

 

[tommy]

Need to get rid of the one punch rule just to put Soward in his place. Guy was strutting round the field the other night acting like he's the biggest baddest player in the game mouthing off at everyone. One good shot will sort that out for good.

He's right up there in the "face-we'd-all-love-to-punch" stakes with Bird, Gallen, Beau Scott etc.

Seriously this should be a list we make.

Bird
Gallen
Scott
Hoffman
J Reynolds
T Sims
Soward
DCE
Klemmer
J Graham
B Thompson

Greg Inglis
Cameron Smith
Billy Slater

It's such an inconsistent rule. I swear I've seen players do it and it's not even mentioned. Trent Merrin for eg apparently did it as well but it wasn't sighted.
