Re: Finals Week Two Discussion

Mitchell Pearce is due back for the Roosters.

Sam Kasiano has been cleared by the judiciary, Frank Pritchard faces a one week ban for his knee on Gareth Widdop.

Michael Ennis is free to play after being charged with a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle on Chris McQueen.

I feel like that specific sentence has been used a few times this year. Does he not get carry over points or something?

Re: Finals Week Two Discussion

Total carry-over points are reduced by 5 for each game played without charge. I believe he only had 13 points after serving his last suspension.

Ennis has 1 prior similar offence and 1 prior non-similar offence on his record.

That increases the load by 50% (37.5) and 20% (15) making the base penalty 127.5 (not sure if they carry the decimal) but with a 25% reduction for an early guilty plea, he just squeezes in with 95 points.

Ennis has 1 prior similar offence and 1 non-prior similar offence on his record.

I know what you mean, but adding non-prior offences to someone's record is very Minority Report of the NRL!

Re: Finals Week Two Discussion

Ennis is a big in for the Sharks.

I seriously doubt they can beat the Cowboys anyway, but if he's not there they're toast.

Cheerin' for the Cowboys and the Doggies (ugh). Dogs will lose, but hopefully they can take some Roosters players with them... let's say through suspension, so I don't offend anyone.

Well Roosters players won't be getting suspended any time soon.

Re: Finals Week Two Discussion

If they drop Kasiano or something on his head they might get a week, which is enough for me.

They would be free to play with the early guilty plea

Re: Finals Week Two Discussion

The Cowboys can't lose right. I mean winning form is good form isn't it. So, looking at the most recent form for the cows it is a loss and looking at their season form against the Sharks it is a loss and a loss. That must mean the Cows will start heavy favourite based on all their 'good' form. Last 6 games for the cows....4 losses and 2 wins. The last time they played the Sharks was 5 weeks ago and that was a loss. Yep, can't lose apparently
