Don't agree with everything Gus says but the NRL would be in a better spot if he was running the MRC

Yeah he did make some great points.

 

[Proud Shark]

Gus understands and and clearly loves the game more than just about anyone in rugby league. I also don't agree with everything he says, but if he was running the game I could at least respect his decisions because they would be made from a desire to ensure the future of the sport. As opposed to the reactive media slaves we have in charge currently.

Yeah 100%. Like you I don't always agree with him but I agree more often than not.

Talks more sense than anyone else in the game, just about the only person I take any notice of.

He's softened his views on the Sharks of late, used to be always against us in everything. Maybe working with Gal (which really should have made him more against us), and with his son working in development at the club, may have changed him a bit.

If anyone's interested in Gus' views of Dale's suspension on Six Tackles with Gus. It starts around the 16th minute.

He says basically what I said. If the ref and the bunker said play on for such a serious incident then they should be dealt with.

AFAIK, he lives in the area so I think he has a soft spot for us.

Buzz trashes him.like a mardi gra bitch at every opportunity.
No wonder he used to have a set against the Sharks

How's everyone's memory? I wonder if defence could have brought up Richard Villasanti's headbutt on Freddy in 2002 GF. Can't remember if he ever got charged. Probably different rules then.

That was deliberate.

 

[Pishposh46]

That was deliberate.

Exactly but probably got let off because it happened in a GF.

Yeah I can't remember tbh.

In any case the game is very different to back then mate, not really relevant.

 

[bort]

If it didn't get charged you can't bring it up which is hilarious in this instance. You could show hundreds even thousands of headclashes that haven't been charged to show there is a precedent of them not being charged but because they've never been charged before there are no usable examples of them being charged and let off.

Now there is one precedent, a charge which was upheld (because of lack of precedent to overrule...)

MRC making new shite rules up as they go to fit the media hype or to allow for their own agenda.

Exactly!!!

 

[common]

So over reading comments from people stating that "It was high contact, should have been sent" or similar saying it was reckless, dangerous and deserved a suspension.

It was an out of the line, body-to-body hard shot. The "high" contact these numpties are going on about was from their heads hitting, and if that is how they see it then every tackle is a suspension. Far out.

 

[sharkstragic]

Next head clash let’s see what happens

 

[The Punisher]

Next head clash let’s see what happens

so Collins needs banning for being reckless in his tackling technique there even thou he came off 2nd best.
Technically he shot out of the line and wasnt able to readjust himself to prevent injury
