I said to my wife on Friday night on our way home from the game that Hayne will be charged with a grade 1 reckless charge and with his record will be allowed the play. I guess I was right in this place.

ahhh, and as 30 year supporter of the Eels, your view on what is right and fair regarding the Hayne situation is not clouded one bit then? You know as well as I do, that Rugby League is far too tribal for that to happen.

of course you do. His knee not only came in contact with his head, but he could have dived for the ball instead of leading with his knees.

Again there have been several simular incidents this year where players have been charged with a grade 1 reckless charge, remember Brett Finch? And he did not accrue enough points due to an early plea and a clean record. So along with this incident and many others the league has been consistent in it's penalties with grade 1 charges.

Nup, have you paid any attention to my posts? You could not have read them that well if you think I am a tigers fan! I though the Tigers were a Sydney Team? Wanna check that out?

This was not just an isolated incident, it has happened many times and players have been charged with a reckless grade 1 charge.

Where do you get off telling me what to support? The NRL is in need of a desperate increase of viewers and supporters and there you are telling me to watch another code? good thinking. It's opinions like that
I understand it is not isolated that player get a grade 1 charge, my gripe is that if Hayne played for the Broncos, the Storm, the Cowboys, or the Titans, and it was a Sydney player, he would have recieved, rightly as he should have done today, a Grade 2 charge and suspension from the Grand Final.

Maybe your hatred is clouding your views.

I don't hate Hayne. I hate that he was charged insufficently for what he did. I am actually going for the team next week that knocked my team out. so you are wrong again.
maybe you think Hayne should play to give a Parra a better chance at winning the GF next week?

It is not over yet. The Hayne Train needs to get through the Storm yet.

Again you do not know me or my views on the game. I am all for the game to grow and moving interstate.
Infact I have a huge soft spot for the Cowboys, I would also like a team or 3 dropped from Sydney and maybe a full time team on the central coast and maybe another try at a perth team (who did manage to provide it's very own first grade player)
Again you dont know me and only my views on Jarrad Hayne and his Grade 1 charge.
I will leave it at that.

I'm not turning it into a childish slag off. You responded to my post asking for a contact for the NRL with your opinion. When I debate that, and you have nothing more than what you think is right, you then say it's a childish slag off?
You don't know me either, and you felt free to make assumptions about me, so if that is the best you have, agreed lets leave it at that.
GO THE STORM!!!
