And on news, there wasn't a whole lot of news this week.
A lot of it seems to be based around the judiciary.
So Carrigan and McLean hit with suspensions today.
Will Penasini challenged his charge and was cleared.
What's come out of it, though? People are asking forwards being judged more harshly than edge and outside backs and wingers, et cetera, on high tackles and high shots.
What do you reckon?
Oh...
I don't know if more harshly.
I don't know.
I think they just make more tackles, so there's probably more prevalence of the incidents, if you know what I mean.
Yeah, I think there's probably just a lot more going on in the middle as far as numbers in tackles and guys hitting lower and guys sort of falling and slipping or starting to be folded and then the next player comes in over the top.
Yeah,
I think that's probably...
It does seem to be a lot where there are almost players pulling out of tackles, as in they go in and essentially are there to just... form a barrier to the player making a tackle and the tackled player to wrap them up.
Yeah, I'm not sure forwards are getting judged more harshly.
They're certainly not dropping like they should be.
who, as it seems a bunch of dumb cunts in the media haven't realised yet, is also his dad.
He should be hard to work out.
Oh, fucking hell.
Up in arms, the socials and the fucking box media shit about should coaches be allowed to play such a direct role in a player's formal judiciary defence? Now, before you answer, Glenn...
I would just like to remind everybody that a formal judiciary session is a fucking pretend court where people pay money to actual lawyers who go in and give legal arguments to a bunch of fucking not judges so it would honestly be like if your car needed to be fixed, they would bring in a bloke from fucking...
If the engine blew, they'd bring in a bloke from Bob Jane T-Marts who would then explain the situation to a bunch of fucking Thai-speaking children with Down syndrome who would then turn around and tell you what needed to be done to your engine.
That is our judiciary system at the moment.
