Still think he'll start and play 50-60 minutes. Verrills has barely played at all this season, he won't start for a while yet in my opinion.

Fair call, could be a possibility.

If he paid the money himself there would be no issue but it was the club that paid it and didnt disclose it.

Ive seen rumours that the Titans also lied about the hush money the first time too where as the integrity unit asked the family how they got the money and that's how they found out hence why its now an issue again 6 months later but that could be just rabble. Makes sense though

I don't see why that would result in a fine or suspension for Fifita though, that sounds like the club made the mistake and did the dodgy. I don't know what he's done wrong in that situation?

Yeah I agree, not sure where the suspension talk has come from when the NRL’s issue appears to be related to salary cap indiscretions. And the way the media continues to trot out the trespass line when he was invited on to the property is blatant sensationalism making the incident sound way worse than it is.

The suspension talk has come from the media selling clickbait.

Judiciary:
@TheParraEels Maika Sivo facing a one-game ban if he takes the early plea to grade 2 careless high tackle charge. Isaiah Papali'i (kneeing) and
@storm star Cam Munster (kicking out) both facing fines for their contrary conduct charges
@NRLcom

Munster should just pay $1500 in advance each week. Gets a free kick every game that way

Got me down to my 9 remaining trades last week, Verrills

Only a fine for IPap? I'll take that if true.

The refs trying to make something of the crackdown still. The judiciary definitely gave up after two weeks though

I'll even pay his fine to make sure he plays next week!

Only a fine for IPap? You are joking

Why do they go so soft on intentional foul play like kneeing and kicking / tripping. Seems the easiest thing to get out of the game if they came down harder on it.

Its fkn weird hey. Its actual dirty play.

Edit: no one has less than this surely? Will you still post in 3 weeks when they are all gone?

Yeah I really struggle with this.

High shots rightly cop a suspension, but at least that’s generally a player attempting to play footy, just a technique issue.

Kicks/trips are just grub acts

An interesting hypothetical - Munster kicks a man while he’s down in Origin, gets a fine, if he’d punched him instead of kicking what happens?

Refs are obviously an easy target but I think the match review and judiciary process is a bigger issue. None of it makes much sense.

Eels winger Maika Sivo faces a suspension for his high shot on Tigers centre Adam Doueihi at Bankwest Stadium on Sunday while Parramatta teammate Isaiah Papali'i has been fined for contrary conduct.

Sivo has been hit with a grade two careless high tackle charge and will miss one game with an early guilty plea or two maches should he fight the charge at the judiciary and lose.


Papali'i was charged with grade one contrary conduct for dropping his knee onto Luciano Leilua's head, which will result in a $1150 fine should he accept an early guilty plea.

The other two players charged out of that game were Tigers pair Luke Brooks (dangerous throw) and Tom Amone (contrary conduct).

Brooks' tackle on Reagan Campbell-Gillard in the 79th minute was classified as a grade one and carries a $1350 fine with an early plea while Amone can accept a $1150 fine with an early guilty plea.

Ipaps a hold for me regardless, 1 or 2 weeks we were spit-balling. Now a few coins only possibly. Sweet.

Accidentally hit someone high when trying to make a tackle, potential to miss weeks. Kick 2 different guys in two different games or knee someone in the head and pay what amounts to a coffee on their salary. Makes sense.
