He can feel really unlucky that he hasn't played finals, had a really good year.

Storm have decided to contest NAS' charge and the hearing is scheduled for tonight which is good. I do not have any faith in it getting downgraded but lets hope for a miracle.

Do we know who the Judiciary panel members are yet (besides Chairman Bellew)?

Good that the circus is conducted tonight. Have no faith that it will allow NAS to play but I reckon it will come down a grade. Important to show NAS that the Club values him and will support him as much as possible. The boys can win without NAS....but the next man up mentality has to start ASAP.

Interesting the storm supporter bay is the northern end this time. From memory that's the first time ever at that end

You know what’s interesting…

Terrell May violently assaults a bloke in a pub. Brings the game into disrepute. Gets two weeks suspension and the NRL says, “The fans want to see the best players, you can serve those games early next year - please play finals”.

NAS makes accidental contact in a tackle. There are mitigating factors as well. But he gets twice the punishment and cannot defer it.

Shows what is important to the NRL.

Storm have firmed into favouritism at $1.80 while Penrith have drifted ever so slightly out to $2.00. Wonder what the odds will look like if Nelson gets off?

Hey guys, just wondering where all you guys will be watching the game this sunday? Normally watching it at home will suffice but would love to feel the vibes amongst other supporters. Ideally western burbs of melbourne (Caroline Springs)

I don't think there's any doubt that NAS will have the charge downgraded,....but it won't go down to Grade 1 to let him play.

Agreed - the Grade 3 comes across as strategically planned

At best it gets downgraded to a 2 but his previous form for this year must work against him
