I'm actually more frustrated about the clothesline on Moylan (I think it was) than the whitehead one. I think it was bort in the game day thread who rightly pointed out it wasn't much different to Kennedy on Walsh.
Out of the heat of the game whitehead was incredibly unucky in that tackle to even make contact. He was behind two other players and Finucane bumped off Papalii first. I think the sin bin was consistent with how they have been ruling and it wouldn't be right for him to cop a further penalty.

So this makes two villains who get away with high shots on Dale.

Big Nelson from the Storm and Elliott Whitehead from the Raiders.

Not sure what the club is thinking about this but if you were in Fitz or Dino's shoes, wouldn't you be giving Andrew Abdo a call?

And say what? The other clubs are conspiring to hit one of the nicest guys in the game high?

Haha! No mate. Couldn't hurt though to just highlight a few discrepancies from the MRC.

Todd Payten and Justin Holbrook spoke up a few weeks ago (albeit publicly) about their concerns and at least the Cowboys seem to have benefitted a little from that.

I'm not saying it's an outright conspiracy but just a quiet word to Abdo that we've lost our leader for a fair number of weeks to two high hits that have gone unpunished. Nothing can be done about it now but for the future it might have the MRC thinking about it a bit more, especially if Nelson and Whitehead re-offend.

Haha yeah, I just think it's a bit different. The NRL proceeded to clamp down a bit on the raised forearm. At least I remember lodge getting done the next week. I think the other coach complaints were more to do with refereeing decisions rather than the MRC.

Yes mate, but it's still the NRL as a whole - they are a very reactive lot rather than proactive. They sit back and wait for things to happen before acting on it. Had Payten and Holbrook said nothing, things wouldn't have changed. As it is, everyone forgets about it after a few weeks anyway I guess.

Remember the days when clubs were responsible for citing players.

Can't disagree with the reactive nature of the nrl. Too media driven.

 

[Gards]

They'd be crazy not to go for Flanno IMO.

Which is why it wouldn't surprise me if they go in another direction lol

Buzz reckons Gus and Flanno have a strong relationship going back to their Roosters days and that Gus is a fan of Flanno Snr

Flanno is bit of a rogue though so if he comes to loggerheads with Gus he could burn the whole place down. Don't think Gus will want someone that can stand up to him.

Apparently has a boxing ring under some bags of grout in the back shed. Couple of bent pegs and the matting is a bit worn but apart from that she should be pretty easy to set up.

First day of training Flanno rocks up in his ute. Alright boys you won't need those jerseys and boots, put on these overalls and take these gloves, Mrs Flanno wants her new yard done by sun down & Gus needs his bathroom done so don't be making any plans for after hours.

NRL have plenty of company in this regard

Hell yeah they should.

The Dogs' interim coach for the rest of the year is about as inspiring as the man he's replacing.

Roving billboards are driving around Sydney questioning whether Scott Morrison is actually a Sharkies fan or if it's all a big show.
