NRL Fines Eels $20,000.

 Fox Sports News just had Greenberg on announcing the fine to the Eels

regarding concussions in the Warriors match. In typical Greenberg style he said the NRL is getting behind the doctors and supporting them! No explanation as how the Eels failed the correct procedures.

The hypocrisy of this is that shoulder charges by defenders have been outlawed. But shoulder chargers by a ball carrier are still allowed. Nathan Peats was knocked unconscious by ball carrier Jacob Lillyman leading with his shoulder and hitting Peats on his jaw. If the NRL is genuine about concussion it should outlaw shoulder use by attacking players.

I wonder If the NRL will fine Canterbury for Friday`s farrago. If so, will it be more than the 20k fine imposed by Greenburge on the Eels as it should be? Or will it be less or none at all as it probably will be?

  •  The NRL is not an even playing field. It ought to be. Maybe its time for a new breakaway league?

  • Rob, you're a bloody cynic, but then, so am I

    • While the bulldog fans stayed to the end and showed some emotion, some of our 'supposed' fans started getting wet so they went home early in the game.
    •  Richard Jackson we will have our day in the sun, we cynics.

  • I can't believe we got fined...........no actually I can....we are Parramatta after all.
    Notice no other club were blatantly over looking concussion. This just reeks of the NRL picking on that shy timid little boy in the playground who never stands up for himself.
    Cmon Sharpy grow a set and tell Toddy stick that fine, we'll see you in court you biased prick.
