I won't argue for a second that Fifita doesn't do stupid things, and he is playing like **** at the moment in my opinion. Too much crabbing, not enough hard straight running whereby he utilises his size. However, I really don't think there was too much in what he did, and does not deserve 2 weeks. It is made worse if the Canberra bloke, whose was worse, gets nothing and is free to play. If that is the case he should be able to contest it and show that as evidence and raise the question.

I don’t think they’re allowed to use tackles that haven’t gone to the judiciary as evidence?

Bateman had the head/neck locked up in that awkward position before flopping to the ground. It was way worse than Fifitas.

Fifita just flopped on the bloke, who was being a derek and had his head in an awkward position. It wasn't wrestling it was just awkward.

How Bateman didnt get charged is beyond . me. It was an awful tackle and deserved sanction particularity when compared to Fifs tackle
Just another example of massive inconsistencies within the NRL

Then again it's ****ed that Bateman got nothing, can we use that in our defence? I'd love an explanation.
