  • Evidently he must have had carry over points from a previous incident as Matt Scott was also charged but won't miss a game with an early plea. You'd assume he got exactly the same charge.
    • He had carry over points from when the Cowboys hooker ran into his knee tackling him
  • if its one week regardless fight it, if it's two weeks if found guilty i'd just cop the 1 week

    • 2 weeks if found guilty. I think he has a very good case tbh, he wasn't even looking at the tackled player and he didn't hold him up then fall on him. He just fell in from the side and got his neck/head. I'm not sure if we will though as he is a key forward for us
    • Yes
  • Edwards in Manu, bring in kelepi, ...he is killing it...nice depth!! Freshens Manu for the following week...
  • Making sure we are weak for the Dogs.. Makes total sense to me, Klemmer walks free and we get the blow. Hope we challenge the suspension and win, we need him there.
    • They have to fight it, they let him down last time he got charged, I thought they should of fought that charge also
  • Who in the club decides whether to contest the charges or not?
  • Have we ever fought anything recently and won though?
    I wish someone could explain to me the reasoning behind why it is that if you challenge and lose, there is a penalty?
