If Cam is suspended

[Mattpoet]

So, what do we do with the 9 if Cam gets rubbed out?

Is it B.Smith with Kenny and/or Stimson filling in?

B.Smith with Walters?

B.Smith with Grant?

[Itzbek the Purple]

I think it will be option one but personally I'd love to say option three.

[Bullucked]

How many weeks are we looking and will it affect State of Origin 1, is it too early to predict all the two headed Queenslanders crying conspiracy?

[Mattpoet]

Actually wouldn't mind Walters but would prefer Grant. Not a fan of Kenny/Stimson at dh

[sallymay]

Harry Grant has been killing it for the Falcons I'd ducking love to see him debut

[Cameron]

Brandan Smith surely

Kenny only if there is another big man

[NevilleB]

Hopefully Pat k gets a run now. Brandon at 9 with Joey and KB as backups

I think that will definitely happen now. Unless Sam successfully fights his dangerous contact charge, he will miss a week. Smith possibly as well. After a long stint as 18th man - and now with another prop out, you would think Pat has to come in. If he does, hopefully he grabs it with both hands.

We have until midday today to respond to the charges.

Fight Cam's one at least!

[blazza18]

If Grant is playing well in the Q cup you almost have to play him if Bellamy doesn't trust Smith can go the full 80.

Kaufusi should get a shot even if Kasiano was available. He hasn't been good.

Judge: Where is the attorney for the defence?
Cam: I'll be representing myself Your Honour
Prosecutor: [Oh shit...]

[yourhero]

As much as I want Cam to fight the ludicrous charge, it really is an uphill battle. I had a look at the Judiciary rules for presenting evidence of like incidents - you know, so one of the 250 or so leg lift tackles from this round alone could be presented... BUT, in order to present video evidence in defence, it must;

1. Be from a comparable incident in which a conviction was recorded.
2. From the last 2 years.
3. The Judiciary Chairman can still not allow the video evidence at his absolute discretion.

Makes it almost impossible to defend yourself. Also exposes the NRL for massive inconsistencies

Cam would be fighting in virtually untested waters.

[Deadpool]

I’ll think they’ll use a defence along the lines of Smith already had the leg up and when Curtis Scott wrapped around the other leg it forced Proctor down and into that position. Something along those lines I think

[Cameron]

If they just fight the grading and not the charge

they don't get extra weeks if they lose

[TC]

Cam out 1 week.
Sam out 1 week.

As yourhero said, it's virtually impossible to fight this sort of thing. There is also the unspoken rule that if it hurt someone it was, by implication, dangerous. Take it and move on.
