I would like to see Cobbo and Farnworth spend time at fullback this game just to see what happens though that is probably pretty disrespectful to Niu.

And I hope they do. Should both be downgraded, given what else we've seen this weekend alone.

Absolute stitch up. High contact to the head from behind. No worries. Just a fine. Get shafted NRL

On a positive note: it appears Turpin and Robati have not been charged.

Go watch the Piakura tackle again. 2 weeks isn't a surprise.

I watched it about 15 times and I think it’s marginal. If it wasn’t such a great hit it wouldn’t even get another look at. His head was down readying himself for the tackle when the ball was passed. I think it’s excessive especially for a player on debut who obviously has 0 loading.
The Flegler hit on the other hand was pretty dumb and given his history is probably close to fair.

Are you happy with what the NRL gave Latrell?

probably about right, before loading is considered (p.s. i'm not a fan of the loading system) but IMO the tackle started as an illegal act (shoulder charge) not a legit tackle like Flegler's that may have strayed a bit high, the first point of contact was shoulder which is legal to tackle.

I'll say it again, suspensions should only occur for violent actions. Fines are enough. There's no consistency at all.

Yeah I'm more talking about a comparison with Ramien tbh.

Ramien's more comparable with Flegler. It's a shocker. In the brief replay it looks like a king hit. He got off lightly. He should get two weeks for that, not a fine. What am I missing?

Don't think you're missing anything. Seems obvious to everyone but the officials responsible..Ramien's more comparable with Flegler. It's a shocker. In the brief replay it looks like a king hit. He got off lightly. He should get two weeks for that, not a fine. What am I missing?
