Carl Webb has been offered 4 weeks if he accepts the set penalty or faces 6 weeks if he contests it and is found guilty. What a crock of shit. Aside from the fact the Hoffman was able to get back up there was very little difference to the Danny Williams incident. This is the exact type of incident that the NRL is trying to stamp out of the game and Webb can count himself lucky the Hoffman has a good jaw. And his excuse, Melbourne Storm were using a grabble tackle and I reacted. I have watched again every play up until this incident and I can not find one tackle that is even questionable in this regard. I'm so sick of every team that we playing using this as an excuse. I reckon the Storm should lodge an objection to this penalty on the basis that it is manifestly light on in terms of the precident set in the Williams case.
Ahhh McGahan; you've done it agahan....

Supposedly if you had a wide screen TV you'd be able to see it.

Even if you do have a wide screen TV though, you're still not getting the whole picture that was recorded on the cameras because they capture a larger view vertically and horizontally than what is being broadcast even for widescreen. That's talking in general terms, not particular to the Webb incident. It was just off screen on a regular 4:3 so it'd be visible in 16:9.

Well obviously Webb's claims of 'grapples' were utter bullshit (not that we didn't know it) as i don't see any Storm players on that list.

What a girl. :roll:

yea but no tv news stationed played the incident 1,000 times so the hype surrounding the incident is minimal.

Oh, it WAS caught on the camera's, and is about the only replay of the game that has been shown on Qld TV all weekend. Don't think I even saw a replay of the penalty try. It's all Webb's punch. They have the footage to convict him for a lot longer than what they are offering.

:faroah:
Glory, Glory to South Sydney!

I have no problem with 4 weeks for that.

I reckon Danny does though.

Talk about double standards.

Maybe he was reffering to the numerous & deliberate 'grapple tackles employed by his own teammates.
grapple = greco/roman style headlock around players neck whilst on ground.
Funny how the 'match officials' never picked it huh ?

Watch the tape :twisted:

Someone send Carl a tape with the Sharks vs Rabbitohs game so he doesn't get confused any more as to what a real grapple tackle is!

I watched about 50 minutes and saw a shitload of grapple tackles done by the Sharks players, no wedgies though as the Grub wasn't playing.

Hang on, I did see someone lose his underpants by having them ripped off him whilst still being worn, forget who it was though.
