You'd think any tackle like that causing injury should be 4 weeks like couchman. Set the precedent don't land on peoples legs lol. Disappointing from nrl but hopefully Iongi avoided bad injury still needs scans
Totally disgraceful! If they're serious about stopping the 'Hip Drop' tackles then it should be equal consequences! The tackler should be out of the game the same amount of time the injured player is out
"Agree lol, yesterday he kinda got thrown into the game midway and probably hasn't even been training there for a minute. Hes a starting nrl fullback lol. He'll do fine "
"I'm relaxed but I'm not amused by the game or the site at the moment...something something about Babies & Bathwater applies to both.
as for Ugly Pete...he is a rat

The NRL is a farce.

Yep make it simple you land on someone legs and cause injury 4 weeks. They might be more careful if punishment isn't soft

It is due to Iongi only missing a few months compared to Hopgood missing a year. Seriousness of the injury dictated the weeks.
If someone sat on Cleary leg and he's out for 8 weeks I wonder...
This is nrl BS looking after panthers. Doesn't Kenny have form here, I'm sure he took someone out the same way last year or the year before.
