first. A grand final can’t be taken as the same supension as a home and away game. It’s a much much bigger punishment.
second. Fucked if I know what’s wrong with that hit. Looked like an average bump that the NRL was known for. Not high, not dirty, not late. Just a bump, not to the guys head. If anything Slater was in the more likely position to be injured.
Third. I’ve seen bigger hits in d grade netball dished out by 40 year old mothers of 4 kids.
Its sad to see NRL go down the non contact sport path like the AFL. I can’t watch AFL anymore because the rules are garbage.
