How long will Quade get?

[Godfrey]

I don't think that's what he's saying. Because Barnes is susceptible to head knocks, he may go down from a shot that may not look so bad on another player. No slight on Barnes.

 

[Slim 293]

Players generally don't like being hit in the head.......

 

[vidiot]

Yeah, he totally milked having to be taken off the ground...

He's been setting up to milk this important penalty for the waratahs against the reds for the last couple of seasons, going off during games with footballers boo-boos, not even turning up for games. Now we see his evil plan come to fruition.

 

[Godfrey]

That's a great point slim, and true to boot. But I seem to remember something about Barnes have a particular problem with them - something about special headaches?

 

[redstragic]

Let's all just move on and forget about the tackle. Live and let live I say, Quade's got a big game this weekend to prepare for.

I just don't think that's how citing works.

Poker?

It's alright.

Quade is going to get off when he fronts the judiciary and use the old "Barnes has a history of head knocks" defence.......

"...and i just wanted to be part of history"....?

 

[Dan54]

Gotta say looked like he aimed high to start with, and while maybe Barnes ducked a bit, I tend to when someone comes high at me, he may get away with it, but certainly couldn't argue with a 1-2 week suspension for that shot. Mind you, if he does we'll have Marto running around interviewing mungoes who would say it was quite alright and he should of got a medal for it

 

[FrankLind]

Was Quade trying to prove he's a hard man or that he knows how to tackle?

 

[cyclopath]

Not bollocks, if it can be reasonably argued the player tried to tackle legitimately, only to have the tacklee drop too low and the tackler was already committed, it is a significant mitigation or even excuse surely. Whether the lawyers can argue that reasonably here is a separate Q. FWIW I think it can be.

I'm sure they'll argue it, but I honestly do not believe it has merit for this tackle. In principle? Sure, it can be a legitimate factor.

Rum 'n' Cote cyclo?

Nah, I'm good mate!

 

[MrTimms]

Nah, I'm good mate!

Soft and the wrong answer.

The correct answer is "Once I finish this one..."

 

[Merrow]

Who tries to tackle legitimately with a swinging arm to the head? I don't care who it is or what team they come from, keep away from the head. How does it make it different because sookface has a history of problems with concussion? All that being said, I can't see SANZAR wiping him out, it's finals time and all good sense will go out the window.

 

[biggsy]

What happen with the White Card.

 

[meatsack]

Quade's record isn't clean. Anyone remember this?

Blow for Wallabies as Cooper banned for two Tests

It would be a shame if Quade missed the playoffs though.

I believe they're only meant to consider previous Super Rugby incidents, not Internationals.

 

[vidiot]

What you talkin' bout Willis Biggsy?

who decides the penalty? since it was two Aussie teams does it just go to an Australian judiciary?
