Should have been minimum 8 weeks. That tackle was absolutely ****ed. Worst one I’ve seen in a long time.

There have been a couple of ugly ones in the NRLW this year.

Kennedy Cherrington got sent off and 4 weeks.

Mia Middleton got 10 in the bin and 2 games for this.

Plus there was that ESL one from Kai O'Donnell recently. 8 weeks.

Sione not staying down and milking it helped us go up the other end quickly and score, Raiders got less of a chance to rest and regroup and we were energised and pissed off

Kris didn't mean it and was apologetic and prob appreciated and was relieved for Sione to get back up and not carry on. Not cool to act more injured than reality after taking a tumble like that anyway considering how serious it could have been there would have been huge concern for Sione.

Even Raiders fans on their forum agreed it was a send off and long time on the sideline (most anyway)

What a little champ Sione is. Warrior. Gem.

He has gotten so good at plucking the ball outta the air and making some incredible takes under pressure on our line. The sort of takes you just arn't expecting him to hang onto. Has more than a couple to his name.

I remember when some were concerned about his height as a winger, well the bloke has turned himself into Michael ****ing Jordon.

Any injury news come out from Friday night for Katoa? Looks like he picked up something.

Haven’t seen anything
Hopefully more like Ronnie and Talakai rather than anything serious.
Him finishing the game gave me hope it was nothing serious but wasn’t 100% sure if it was mentioned afterwards.

Apparently news has come out that Katoa has been charged for his tackle on Cameron Murray. Early guilty plea misses one match.

No failed HIA no charge you’d expect

Replacement will be interesting
SS season?
Hiroti?
Iro wing?

We play the Cowboys attacking machine so best defensive option could be a shout

If the ridiculous judiciary set up was not in place - I’d seek a downgrade - but there’s no point going there ..

It did not look that bad to me on TV. I guess it was more impactful than I thought.

Maybe it wasn't that hit. I think it happened just before HT so maybe he was already in failed HIA territory from the previous 35mins, that moment with Sione just forced the check.
