Shoulder charge rule

[Foordy]

Nah, he's gone. Complete and utter shambles if he gets off.

You can't compare his tackle to Ennis' at the judiciary, AFAIK, so he simply cannot be found not guilty.

How the **** was Ennis not charged again?

you just described the MRC and Judiciary ... Hell, you just described the NRL

 

[Morkel]

There's no way he should get off. Plain-as-day shoulder charge. Bracing for impact doesn't cut it as an excuse any more, the NRL are serious about this stuff now.

So yeah, he'll get off.

 

[Battler]

I have the GH open in a tab and ready to go for when he's found guilty.

 

[broncos4life]

Fingers crossed he doesn't get off. C'mon MRC do something right for once.

Sanity prevails - free to play.

 

[Organix]

I'm sorry but that is flaming ridiculous.

Serious? How was it not a shoulder charge?

 

[Organix]

Sanity prevails - free to play.

Sanity?

 

[Unbreakable]

They may as well just remove the shoulder charge rule if what Wighton just did was legal, because it was a textbook shoulder charge.

Absolute joke. I fully expect a clean-out of both the MRC and NRL judiciary post season.

Doubt it.

 

[bb_gun]

Doubt it.

It's just become laughable though. Like, how can they not change it now?

 

[vertigo]

They backed themselves in a corner.

MRC are a fucking joke and you can direct your anger at them for not charging Ennis which lead to this.

 

[Organix]

Because they are consistently inconsistent

 

[bb_gun]

I actually hope the Raiders lose now, will make it sooooo much sweeter that they can't blame it on Wighton not being there.

 

[Organix]

Defense: In summing up. It's not a shoulder charge. It's the constitution, it's Mabo, it's justice, it's law, it's the vibe. Yeah that's it. It's the vibe. I rest my case.

What they did or didn't do to Ennis makes no difference and it should have had no bearing on Wighton's hearing.

That's the most ridiculous logic I have heard. "Oh yes your honour I did murder him, but there are plenty of murderers that have never been charged so you have no choice but to find me not guilty".

 

[vertigo]

They were identical, you can't have one get off and end the other's season.

Buettner should be sacked.
