Gagai would have been out for weeks if that was an NRL game. Brad Fittler was rightly very unhappy with it. It basically says you can do what you want during Origin.

Notice Dane Gagai got 10 minutes and No suspension for full on fight with Matt Burton at origin. They realise Origin is an intense battle where humans make mistakes. How long would he have been banned for here?! We are a joke……

Don't be ridiculous. Rightly or wrongly Origin has always been refereed differently to regular NRL games. It would have keen a send off and lengthy ban had it happened in the NRL too.

The Ozzy’s realise that 18 stone blokes who have very limited education loose their temper sometimes!

You don’t know that as each individual case is judged on its merits. It was a fight , not a sneaky assault. Think that went in his favour…..

Really?
So one team mate holding him back by his neck while another leathers him is a fair fight?

I can't know what ban he would have got in the NRL but we can be very certain bans would have been handed out.
The Origin 'no bans, no send offs' policy is puzzling to us outsiders but it's something they have done for a lot of years.

Anyway it’s irrelevant now. The powers that be decided it was worthy of 10 mins in the bin for both players, and that’s it. I for one am ok with that and It didn’t ruin the spectacle for me…..

Any news on Walters?

Re: 2022 | Injuries & Suspensions : Mon Aug 01, 2022 2:30 pm  

If I'm reading it correctly, the only players banned from this weekends round are Prior and Russell from Hudds. Given the MRC's decision making across this season so far, I find that quite extraordinary.
