This has to be questioned. Surely this grapple last night by Hodgson deserved a grade 2 /3 ?
Does this typify the year the refs and MRC has had? I think so. It was ironic in some way that a grapple was done to a Melbourne player, but in all truth it was a terrible look and should have been a serious charge in my view.

This is a disgraceful decision, the guy was using a players head and neck to try a wrestle him onto his back. Given there was another tackler already laying under him, the additional strain to the neck would have been noticable.
Grade 1 with no loss off game time is a joke, given Frizell copped a week for barely touching a ref.
Couldn't agree more TBUR about the Frizell one. It does not make sense and is a joke.
I love a good conspiracy but grade 1 was fine, and no priors means no suspension.
The tackle on BJ buy Jesse bromwich was a lot worse in my opinion.
So he only gets a grade one for that and Mau has twice missed weeks for barely touching someone. The MRC are an absolute joke. Just one of the many things thats a joke in this game these days.
Hamish maybe I missed something mate, but tackling and trying to twist a guy around head area is a bad look. Even Hollywood Harrigan said it was bad; the cannonball by Bromwich was not illegal according to Harrigan on Triple M, but late. That was also a cheap shot in my book. BJ Leilua is a dope but it was not good.
He should at least get 1 week and talk about beening spend what about hayne did he get off again touch the ref
Is it any wonder people are deserting the game. There is no leadership. It has lost everything that appealed to people. AFL looks better every day.
thank christ for that, i'm out of trades
That was the ultimate GRUB tactic, but lucky for him he didn't touch a ref. My love for the Eels is the only reason I don't walk away from this comp. I was about to call it a sport but unless you are loved by the NRL commission, you won't have a sporting chance. Another instance of the NRL controlling decisions made by refs, bunker & match review so they can get the outcome that suits them. THIS IS MATCH FIXING AT IT'S BEST. This guy tried to twist his head off & get's nothing. YOU DIRTY CHEATS.
