Still got it wrong, say what you like about any player, find it hard to believe any NRL player (except for maybe Paul Gallen) would intentionally do something like that.
Didn't watch the Broncos game on Friday night? There was a deliberate elbow in that game.

Awesome display by the Sharks today, have a feeling that its our year tbh
Starting to rate Stewart as a coach. He's done good things for Brett Seymour's game and heard during the commentary that the Sharks have only conceded more than 30 six times (or something like that) in the last 2 seasons.

Those Cuthbertson and O'Donnell send-offs were absolutely farcical on the weekend. Cuthbertson's was a wrapping motion, while O'Donnell's was what can sometimes happen when a ball carrier is instinctively defending himself. By all means, place them on report, but you have to be absolutely certain there was malice before sending a guy off. In neither case was malice was blatantly evident.

They were made up for by Hodges staying on the field though. That was horrid. 3-5 weeks I reckon. Hayne will get 1 or 2.

Well done to Brisbane for realising, when Hagan apparently can't, that running at Grothe tends to work quite well.

Good one Eric, had you not played, Parra win by 18. Go and play the guitar, you useless ****.

Don't think Hodges deserved to be sent either. He'll get suspended no doubt, but an incident has to be deliberate, dangerous and aggressive to be sent off for mine. Hodges was a case of poor technique and over enthusiasm for the tackle.

Hayne's was much worse imo.

Seriously mate, you must be joking? Neither was any good, but at least Kato still had the ball.

Just heard a snippet that Hodges is looking at 6 weeks (had 90 odd carry over points).
It's no wonder Ridell took only 45 seconds to get checked out by the doctor because he originally fell on his arm and pushed himself off to make sure it looked worse than it was. Just watch the replay again.

:laugh: Six weeks for that? He didn't even drive the guy into the turf. To get that long, you should at least have to drive the guy into the ground.

At most, Hayne deserves one week; Hodges two.
