Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 3485702, member: 8536"] NRL 360 giving Matterson a bit of shit for taking the suspension over the fine. They have been down on troops and the side have needed him, especially in this game against Manly, but he stupidly decided to take the 3 game suspension instead of a 4k fine because he thought the crusher tackle he did wasn't worthy of a suspension. He was actually right, the crusher tackle by itself wasn't worthy of a suspension because a Grade 1 Crusher Tackle is a fine, but he had already been charged twice and a third offence is a 3 game suspension. However the NRL introduced a policy that players charged with a third offence in a finals game had the option to pay a fine instead. He's on pretty good money at the Eels, 4k would be nothing for him but he stupidly decided to take the suspension in protest instead of forking up the cash. The Eels weren't happy. They apparently approached the NRL for a re-hearing so he could change his decision and pay the fine, but the NRL told them no. The decision had been made. [/QUOTE]
