[QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3310639, member: 1899"] The NRL set a bad precedent when they let Ryan James off back in 2017. Sam Burgess then used the same argument and Billy Slater was able to use those cases after his tackle on Feki. They're shoulder charges but since the rule was so poorly written they've once again created this grey area to get star players off in the big matches. It does lend some creedence to Gus' suggestion that we should find another way to punish players. We get in these situations with these big show piece games where we want the star players playing and then bend over backwards to get them off. The whole reason they reviewed the shoulder charge in the first place was because of how they bent over backwards to let Ennis and Wighton play in the 2016 finals. It was a crock and nothing has changed, even after the Ackerman incident - just sad really. [/QUOTE]
