Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3430094, member: 9853"] From what I'm gathering the Match Review Committee threw it into the too-hard basket and deferred grading it to the judiciary. My guess is because it's such a controversial tackle and the NRL is still trying to get a handle on how to penalize it. It's not really fitting properly into "dangerous contact." The predictions I've been seeing based on previous convictions are all over the place. I know a lot of us get confused/outraged by inconsistencies from the judiciary, but I think in cases like this one the penalties are still a work in progress. They're liable to get stricter/lighter over time. So if we see someone only get two weeks for something earlier in the season, it might be in retrospect it was too short and they should've gone in harder. They also seem to have periods of crackdowns where they try to rub certain tactics out by making an example of a bunch of players in one round. I think we have to assume it's working towards something concrete rather than on a whim. [/QUOTE]
