Putting Boot to Ball

[Bourbon Rat]

I'll be waiting for some 'consistency' on this one

COWBOYS fullback Matt Bowen will today come under scrutiny from the NRL match review committee for lashing out with his foot to try and stop a try in Friday night's 16-14 defeat of the Broncos.

Bowen was not put on report, but the 56th minute incident was flagged for review after he twice tried to use his boot to stop Brisbane utility Matt Gillett grounding the ball.

gees guys, you are tough judges.

Cowboys fullback Matt Bowen is free to play in North Queensland's home NRL clash with Newcastle on Saturday after lodging an early guilty plea to his contrary conduct charge.

Bowen used a seven-year incident-free discount to reduce his base penalty to 50 points, meaning he escapes suspension for leading with his feet in an attempt to stop Brisbane's Matt Gillett scoring a try.

He was charged for it as any player would be, he's clean record means he doesn't get suspended.

Not judging Bowen but a selective judiciary,which has in the past waived or overlooked penalties for players according to whom they played for.

Still the SL judiciary is no better
Hull player Manu warned on three occasions for deliberate head shots on Tomkins.Then finally put on report after a fourth attempted decapitation !!
SL judiciary decision ? NO CASE TO ANSWER.
Maybe he will have when he causes a serious injury to an opponent
