Yes he is putting country before club here .
I think you cannot use examples of tackles that are not charged but can use tackles that have been as a reference for grading .

I stand to be corrected though .

Zero chance of getting off Doesn't excuse the inconsistency of Bateman decision.

If he wins he gets to play for Tonga. If he loses he gets 3 weeks to recover from his leg issues.

I don't mind either way.

If he loses he might get some sympathy articles in the Daily Terror. They'll use anything to twist the narrative for a few more sales.

Yeah I’m alright with it as well. Playing this one off test for Tonga clearly means a lot to him as he seems to be pioneering this new era of international football. If he wins, he gets to play in a game very important to him, if he loses he takes some needed time off. We’re getting Woodsy back after the bye I’m pretty sure so we should be ok for a few weeks.

If he cops 3 it’s a month of no games and comes back against... Storm

That could be interesting...

I'm hoping they'll see that the grading was too high and then choose removing the charge over sticking with it.

He will get charged plenty of nrl players playing in the international games this weekend.
That will get the publicity.

Bateman's was more of the classic crusher where he had his arms wrapped around him & then fell down on him, Fif's was just down right stupid where he did a flop, & on the bloody 5th tackle.
