LOL is that's what's happening?

He should serve banned games for the Roosters.

Anyone with half a brain could see that the lack of consideration of priors and escalation in penalties in the new judiciary model was going to lead to lunatics like JWH running amuck. I mean, JWH has kinda got away with it his whole career even before this more lenient system was introduced. I honestly think he should've been given a 6-12 week breather sometime in the last decade.

But naturally NRL waits until after R25 to crack down on it after a 10+ year career and overreacts.

I do pretty much agree with what the Souths coach was saying post-game though. Someone like Tom Burgess was clumsy but at least he's attempting to make a tackle when he goes high, which is something footy related. The shit JWH, NAS etc. try every week, with head slams, forearms, facials etc. shouldn't be part of the game. It's adding to an already high risk level for brain injuries unnecessarily.

The problem is it needed someone to figure this out as part of a broader strategy, rather than letting him get away with it all season then flipping a switch for finals in a reactionary manner.

But rugby league gonna rugby league.

Half agree/disagree with this.

To the person being hit in the head and receiving a head injury it's irrelevant if the person had intent or hit them through carelessness, it's still the same outcome.
Both intent to attack the head and carelessness resulting in head impact need to be punished.

Either way, correct your tackling or you should sit out.

Yesterday's game saw some crunching legal tackles that are being overshadowed by the grubbiness and illegal hits that Fox will show no shame in using in their advertisements for the Roosters v Rabbitohs fixture next year.

Leave his ban out of the world cup, PVL! Think of the fans!

In all serious they are no longer hiding the fact that they're picking and choosing when and who to ban and when and it's gonna keep happening until PVL is gone.
Apparently in NSW racing which he also runs - jockeys can choose which meets they're banned from? Laughable.

Just to be clear - I think high shots should be punished, and repeat offenders like Turgess need to face decent bans until they correct techniques.

But I think non-footy grub acts are worse.

Getting away from the head, it annoys me how softly something like a trip is treated (a fine) because it just shouldn't be part of the equation when playing footy.
