Message: [QUOTE="Twiztid, post: 2392351, member: 2144"] If Taylor's was the right one, then how did they only give Frank Paul 2 weeks for this tackle [URL="http://www.nrl.com/Video/2011GameAnalyser/tabid/10910/Default.aspx?roundid=199&matchid=1326&videoquality=1&type=bigcollision&period=1&time=806"](video here)[/URL] which is very similar to Taylor's. The only difference IMO is the drive of Taylor helps put the Broncos player into a dangerous position, because Taylor follows him to the ground. I admit it was bad and deserved 2 weeks not 5. They also rubbed out Eddy Pettybourne for 3 matches for this tackle [URL="http://www.nrl.com/Video/2011GameAnalyser/tabid/10910/Default.aspx?roundid=182&matchid=1201&videoquality=1&type=penaltyconceded&period=1&time=69"](video here)[/URL] almost the same as the other two and more like FPN's one but had the same leg drive of Taylor's so ended with him rolling over the player. Nathan Merritt received 1 weeks for leading with the legs to stop a try against Parra in 2009 - [URL="http://www.nrl.com/ajax.aspx?contentid=113214&feed=Module.Property&moduleId=114267&portalID=200&propertyName=MatchList&roundID=121&seasonID=5&seriesID=1"](Video here)[/URL] (1.05 min in). As you can see he didn't get close to touching him or the ball. I also can't recall another player being charged again for the same offence, I remember Slater doing the same thing in a match last year or might have been this year and nothing happened after the match as the team had a chance for an 8 point try. I remember Greg Bird kneeing Shane Marteene in the head in 2004 and getting 10 weeks. Gallen probably doesn't deserve that much, but a week to set an example. Basically they are saying you can actually kick someone and get away with it, depending on who you are. Sick of the bias bs. /rant Does anyone know where to find a list of who has been charged so far this year and what they received and whether they faught the charge and won or lost. The NRL only keeps the Judiciary page updated for the current week. I have been unable to find a backdated list. I wanted to compare the charges and see if I am not just being bias to my own team (which I know I am). Also so I can try and figure out how they can grade very similar, almost identical tackles with two different grades but also miss or let off so many as well. [/QUOTE]
