Junior Paulo is looking at 9 matches if he fights and loses his charge of dangerous throw, He will get 7 matches if he pleads guilty. I was out there and I didn't think it was that dangerous. I would definitely roll the dice and challenge the grading of the charge. When you think of the other players this round that have been hit with a feather for head high tackles and throwing punches I feel it is in our interest to challenge the grading.

100% there was nothing in it, just a good strong tackle.
I don't inderstand, they say that there's a zero tolerance to fighting now, yet there's going to be no suspension? What is this? I say we start punching just to prove a point!!!!
Dangerous - VERY
Don't think it was worthy of a grade 3, but I'd say it's a 2. I thought he'd get 2-3 weeks when I saw it, wasn't aware of the Carry overs and loading for a similar incident, so 5 weeks would be right imo, but 7-9 is a bit crazy
I hope they fight this grading but I fear the worst as Junior has carryover points and a similar charge from last year. This and the fact that Parra players never fare well at the judiciary!!
Look on the positive side
Pauli gets some FG time
Tui gets some Wenty time
which they both deserve
Bloody good tackle!
Didn't hurt Ballin, he stayed down for the penalty. You see the head touched more in other tackles and when the tackler is getting up - exactly what this sook did to Watmough.
I thought the Dogs second rower, Jackson I think, who flopped on the neck of a sitting Penruff player was much worse than Junior's tackle but he was not even charged! Does a neck have to be snapped before they ban this?
Let look at any future tackles like that with a player from another team and see if they get charged. Just reeks of a political decision to me!
They are going for a down grade

At least they r going to have a go. I don't condone dangerous play but I don't think it deserves a long suspension.
At the time of the incident I didn't instinctively considered it dangerous. It looked more like sideways throw & not a lifting drop movement.
