Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2145759, member: 1853"] Personally I don't have a problem with Smith's interview in regards to his suspension and raising the issue again of the judiciary's inconsistency. I think he handled himself and the issue a thousand times better than Bellamy and Waldron; and I don't think it will jeapordise his captaincy claims at any level. But again - the only way to ensure you don't get charged or suspended is not to do it in the first place - they know it's not legal as part of the game and they have kept doing it simply because they didn't get suspended, now one of them has, it's all a conspiracy. Melbourne are correct, some similar (but IMO not as bad) tackles have been let go on many occasions during the season - including from their own players, so they are actually quite fortunate they weren't without key players more often during the season, which may have seen them not win the minor premiership or maybe not even finish in the top 8. Hopefully the judiciary will continue to suspend for these type of tackles, but in reality we all know they are not going to get all of them - as long as they get most, I'll be happy. And bianc, you can choose to believe me or not; but if one of the Broncos players did a tackle like that, I would totally agree with and accept his suspension. I have no support for players using such illegal tactics no matter who they play for and I certainly wouldn't want them in my club. I also wouldn't want to risk him doing it again in the GF and getting sent from the field for it during the most important match of the season. [/QUOTE]
