We're the richest club in the comp. Don't pretend we don't have the means to back Kev up as well.

As far as Mitchell goes, he should have been sent and he should cop a Grade 1 Reckless High Tackle. It's the same charge Tyrell Fuimaono copped for his tackle on Ryan Papenhuyzen at Magic Round and it's the same situation.
That carries a 400 point grading but he also has 60% loading from his Round 6 incident. So that will likely lead to a 6 week suspension which seems fair.
Best case scenario for Trell is he cops a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle which would amount to a three week suspension, making him available for either the Prelim or Grand Final depending on the results of Week 1.

Don't we have someone at the club that just bought an $18 million house in Brisbane?

Watching the incident back again on Kayo a few times, Manu should be commended for how much restraint he actually showed if nothing else. Mitchell deadset deserved to get put on his grubby ass for that crap. In the glory days of the 80's and 90's he would have had 8 Roosters vying for his blood.
He shouldn't play again this year, especially with the priors. If the NRL are at all serious about this head high crackdown, he won't.

This is the thing with the no punch rule, you pull that kind of dog shot back in the day and you’re going to physically regret it. Slapping players in the wrist a couple of weeks at a time teaches Repeat offenders nothing.

I just have a feeling it is a club rule to to go after the ref/NRL in the media ... rule mind you that had been in place for all administrations.
No Broncos coach has ever done this despite being justified on numerous occasions.

Turned Robinson's presser off after he said Flegler should have been sent and the Rooster was in concussion protocols all week. Good to see a coach give it to the NRL but **** me, to go on like it only happens to Rooster's players is fucking funny.
Anyway, if Mitchell doesn't miss the rest of the year for that, then there is no hope for the NRL and it will show another reason why there are too many incompetent fucktards involved in the game. Mitchell needs to be called out on his shit and pulled into line. It's been going on for far too long. The bloke is a cockhead of the highest order.

While I agree it’s cathartic watching Robbo spray the refs, last time he had a sook the whole game became an absolute circus with the send offs. We’ve been lucky that it calmed down but this could very likely bring that attitude from refs back again and I can’t handle that.

Im kind of hoping it just results in Perenara's sacking.
That bloke has to go, he has repeatedly fucked up for the last 3 rounds with some absurd calls that have shone a spotlight on his incompetence.
Put any one of us in the bunker, dead drunk, and we would do a better job than that merkin.
He needs to go.

By gee that Latrell Mitchell is a scallywag. I hope his shoulder's okay. He'll need it next season.

I was thinking exact same mate. What bothers me is because they know the Broncos don't stamp their feet and whinge like a school girl about poor officiating it will surely come back to bite us big time this weekend as if one of our guys so much as ***** a snook at a Cronulla player he'll be marched.
They know they can be heavy handed with us and get away with it. What's more they know the majority of the other fans have no problem with us being hammered. So we now serve as the NRL scapegoat in times of unrest in the Rorter's camp.

Loved Wayne's jab on Robinson saying he shouldn't throw too many stones as he coaches a couple of players with their own problems with over aggressive play.

The more I think about it, the more I am sure that Robinson wants to muddy the waters so much that the rules are relaxed and dog shots are allowed. Even the commenators were saying stuff along the lines of "That's how Radley plays. You have to just accept that he'll be out for a few weeks a year because if you take that out of his game he offers nothing". which is basically a piss-poor way of saying that he's a grub. If that's the only way a player can be effective, **** them off out of the game. Give me legal rib-cruncher every day of the week over cheap high shots and knee twists.

Yeah Robbo is a flog. He whinges about player safety one week, the game admin brings in the circus off a crackdown literally on the back of his crying and then when his grub players start getting binned he cries about the send off being overreactions. The game chills out to reasonable levels and now the shoes on the other foot again hes sooking about player safety.
edit: though I should admit that it think he manipulates the officials and media as good as anyone. Instead of focusing on his team getting towelled up a week before the finals everyone is talking about the bunker. Next week the officiating will be doing all they can to make the roosters happy.
