On report for kicking and tripping then sin binned for a high shot - surely he has to be suspended for at least 6 weeks for all that

In theory he should get quite a few weeks, but I bet he doesn't. Isn't this is the same player who was free to play origin because of the Bulldogs "legal team", (Greenberg at the NRL).

If he doesn't, the other clubs should put in a legal challenge, particularly if greenberg gets involved, the kick and trip were 1 million times more vicious than the mclean tackle

But neither player got an injury from what Reynolds did. It is not in the rules and the NRL say it does not have any affect on the plenty, but the seriousness of the injury to other player in the illegal play does come into the plenty given. In the McLean case all the reports said three week for the tackle and four weeks for the injury. Which in my opinion is wrong.

100% correct, you penalise twice for the same act which would never, ever stand up in court.

Just on dogs and grubs and such. .... how woeful was last night's game? People bitch and moan and carry on about Melbourne doing this that and the other. ... and starting every bad thing in the game (Thanks media!) Yet, as clear as day every team is as bad as the next, and the dogs take the cake. ....I could barely stand to watch it to be honest. ...it's going to be a cracking finals series. ... *sarcasm detected*

Surely you jest, a team with Josh (I like to use my legs but just for variety I will both kick and trip people) Reynolds and James (my dentist wrote me a letter to say I have jagged teeth so I honestly didn't mean to bite Billy Slater's ear even though there is video of me doing just that) Graham is clearly going to be a very clean and law abiding outfit.
