Good news. He needs to rest his body. Let him come back firing and hungry.

Against the Dogs Hamlin-Uele to start with Prior.

Woods on the bench with Williams.

Rather he got a xtra week so 3 weeks in total off than get cleared. Make your bed you lay in it... love the big fella, soon as he did it then glanced up at replay he knew he was shot.

This futile challenge nows sees him missing an extra game that he need not have missed.

Any anybody thinking its ok , we will win those 2 games easily is kidding themselves. Every 2 points is critical.

It was a dumb decision by all involved to go to the judiciary.

Was a bull**** charge from a bull**** administration/MRC who pick and choose who and who doesn't get charged based on **** knows what. They've completely lost the handle on what does and doesn't deserve suspensions and there is a clear agenda on who it applies to. McGuire 2 eye gouge fines 6 weeks apart and nothing (a $1500 fine wouldn't dent me too much, whats it mean to a guy making $600k+ a year or roughly $24k per club game?) - Sutton gets 5 straight up (3wks if you minus carryover) for same thing. Bateman performs a textbook grapple/chickenwing/crusher combo and not even sighted in the same ****ing game. Trips and eye gouges are nothing but Suaso Sue got 2 weeks for hitting a halfback too hard when he dug into the line.

Ahh **** it. I shoulda packed it in on October 3rd 2016. This competition has gone to **** and by that I mean NRL, not Rugby League. RL is awesome.

Anyway the rest will do Fifs good.

Bad news.

Take the early plea and he gets 3 weeks rest in real time anyway.

So I wasnt aware but apparently Batemen not charged for his crusher as TV angles weren't good enough. Find that truly amazing given the coverage each game gets
I call BS

They should come watch it at my place then. Not sure how but I've obviously got access to superior coverage of NRL matches than the NRL do.

Fifita deserved what he got but you're right, the inconsistencies are ****ing bull****.

Would love an explanation, not the usual waffle from Greenburg.

It's shambolic.

Think about the quality of CCTV people can be done on. Broad capture focused on nothing in particular. We have 30 odd high def cameras focused solely on a 120m x 65m field and 26 individuals and mostly the ones around the ball.

Insufficient footage? Rubbish!

Mate I said this a few days ago, it's a square up for the over the top suspension their bloke got for gouging.

Joke.

This is why for all their good and moral intentions guys like Barry Russell go nowhere and achieve nothing while guys like Flanno win comps and are still sought after following 2 suspensions for flaunting the rules. In the NRL rules are guidelines for losers.

Fifita should have never fought it, was no chance of getting off.
Bateman not getting charges is a joke and if it’s ‘because they didn’t have enough angles’ that’s ****ing piss weak. It was clear as day on at least one angle so charge him.

Hopefully some time off allows him to see how much better Uele is playing than him. Needs to come back switched on.

He’s playing like he’s injured or his head isn’t in the game. Either way the time off will be good for him.

Thankfully Woods is back soon and starting Uele might make us start better for once.

He's having literally a month off footy between the Raiders game and the Storm game when he's back.

That's a great break for his body to recover.

Who takes his spot for the next month? Uele for a game or two until Woods is fit?
