In round 1, you suspended Junior Paulo (9 weeks) for a "dangerous throw" In doing so, you had supposedly set the precedent for all tackles deemed as "dangerous throws" to be punished just as harshly for the remainder of the season. Not so. Why?
To all shell shocked Eels supporters, the common consensus with the length of Juniors suspension was "Fair enough, as long as the referees and judiciary are consistent with ALL "dangerous throws" that follow" Over the pursuing 11 rounds, we have witnessed on a weekly basis far worse tackles completely dismissed, or at worst receive a grading that with an early guilty plea the player escapes any penalty. I will highlight for you again, Junior was suspended for 9 weeks.
Now lets fast forward to round 12 and you find yourself staring down the exact reverse scenario with a decision to make. For 12 rounds, play makers have been hit with what is now deemed as "late" after off-loading the ball. Suspensions to date? ZERO. I will highlight for you again, zero, but yet again Parramatta finds itself in the firing line. Why?
Pauli Pauli makes a "late" hit on sooky Soward that thus far has brought no attention to officials for the first 12 rounds, but now as a result of two illiterate dribblers in Andrew Johns & Brad Fittler who were commentating the game, and decided this "late" hit was the one the NRL "must" take immediate action over and stamp out of the game, it has become trial by media creating pressure on the NRL (you incompetent fools) to make an example of Pauli Pauli. Why? The "late" hit precedent has already been set. You will have to address it in the off-season. Round 12 is now too late to single a player out to make an example of. I will highlight to you again. Junior was suspended for 9 weeks because you were setting the precedent in Round 1. What a complete joke that followed.
When you are reviewing this "sickening hit" from Pauli, please take note of sooky Soward immediately raising his head at the referees in an attempt to milk a penalty. His tune would of been completely different when interviewed if the Panthers went on to win the game. You are smart enough to know that right?
I am already resigned to the fact the Eels will be screwed over big time again.

If he gets a grading just show footage of Beau Scotts hit on Thurston earlier this year. He wasn't even put on report.
Then show Segeyaro's hit on Sandow late, in the same match last night. No penalty not put on report.
About time the Eels stop playing nice with the NRL. Time to start sticking it straight back up them.
I think Scott was put on report but it was a Grade 1, exactly what Pauli should get.
BTW Ham what do you reckon will be the charge? G1 what?
You just know he will get suspended. I will be shocked if he doesn't.
The NRL love nothing more than bending over the Eels club and ramming the biggest cactus they can find where the sun don't shine.
They won't be happy unless he does time in prison
