King has been referred straight to the judiciary if you can believe that sh*t... Once again, the slanted view of commentators leading the NRL around by the nose.

Tui got a Grade 2 Dangerous Contact charge. Will miss 1-2 weeks.

With Tui in doubt with injury plead guilty and cop the week.

Junior Paulo received a grade 1 dangerous contact charge. If he pled guilty he was free to play but would have 75 carry over points. Paulo played the week after so he pled guilty.

Yeah just saw that King has been referred straight to the Judiciary....

No idea why it wouldn't be listed with the other charges ??

Incidents are only referred to the judiciary if the MRC feels that no charge adequately caters for the seriousness of the incident. That is what is complete bullsh*t.

The Tui one should have been there definitely.

Dangerous Contact Grade 3 is 300 base points. Obviously the MRC sheep feel that Max definitely should be out for a month plus.

GTFO of here :roll:

Absolutely. He has had such a shocking run but, even if he were not injured, there is no way those Sydney powerbrokers would let him beat that charge.

It also means that this is a media spin against Storm and the way we tackle, which happens every year. It also means he will not play again this year.

And of course Ryan Matterson only got a minor charge and is free to play against us.

If a player was never going to be in consideration for selection anyway does the charge have any relevance? ie, is it a moot point, was he a chance over the next three / four weeks (games)?

It does impact our depth if we have any injuries or suspensions over the next month.
