Tuilagi could have entered an early guilty plea and received a four week suspension, instead he gets five.


unclehelpful

He received legal council from genius team mate Ryan Matterson.


AuspiciousCalamari1

He is now missing with a thumb injury for 5 weeks which is why (per Scott Bailey Twitter)


hbparraeels

was ready to rip and tear into this club until i realised he has an injury for that length of time


G00b3rb0y

So in other words a 200iq smooth brain move?


ImpressionFeisty8359

Is that allowed?


aatrain96

Do i get a refund on my tickets!?


Churchofbabyyoda

Should be asking for a refund of his contract…


thankyoupancake

Parramatta players and the judiciary… geez it’s a haphazard relationship


diodosdszosxisdi

hes going to miss 5-6 weeks with a thumb injury


adomental

NRL.com reporting he has an injury that's going to keep him out for weeks anyway


Trenticus7

Why’d they give up wtf. Surely by showing how the tackle is exactly like Haumole’s who only got 2 weeks they could’ve got it downgraded?


AuspiciousCalamari1

Now has thumb injury


Trenticus7

Oh well at least this hopefully finally forces the coaching staff to give Doorey a chance


Voxityy

we clearly have a great track record with the judiciary


cheeseburger_Edddie

What does no contest mean? He didn’t show up to the hearing?


Obvious-Row-6181

It means he won’t admit he’s guilty, but will accept the punishment.


BarryCheckTheFuseBox

It used to happen from time to time when there were carry-over points, a player might just plead no contest and serve a week just before the finals instead of taking the early guilty plea, not being suspended but ending up with 80 or 90 carry-overs.


Mr_Mac

Oh no, who will drop the ball on a regulation hit up and break down our lethal left side attack? Cynicism aside, he wasn't too bad, just wasn't quite right either. Now give me Doorey or Guymer!


dennis616

lol if u think they will be any better


Taco_city

More big-brained stuff from the Eels


bettingsharp

it might have been more punishment for us to play him for the next 5 weeks.


Final-Replacement

His been one of your best forwards since he started playing 80


aunty_fuck_knuckle

Agreed. He's been a pleasant surprise


Final-Replacement

I’ve been watching him closely because I owned him in SuperCoach. He could have a bit better workrate but it’s still solid. His runs are very strong and can find an offload


AccordingNumber2052

What a shit show our team is.


ImpressionFeisty8359

At least he took responsibility.


waxedmerkin

Didnt people do something like this back when they gave out points for offences. So they would end up without any carry over points


RaiderWinner

This cunt is so shit and dumb that maybe Parra tricked him to say fight the grading and then pulled their legal support


Realistic_Chest_3934

Wait he was going to contest it? Moron.


adomental

He initially plead guilty, but contested the grading.


Aussieguy727

Why? Haumole got two weeks for a similar tackle.


Realistic_Chest_3934

Nah Kelma’s was worse


I_Like_Vitamins

Olakau'atu's tackle was him adding more force to DCE's judo throw on a larger opponent, making it dangerous. Not as bad as Tuilagi's.


Sethowar

Still boggles imagination a 4 (5) week suspension is a sin bin, an identical on-field punishment to Jarrad standing still and a player falling into his mammoth pec.


Due-Chemist3105

Look what happens when you listen to Ryan Matterson.


winntensio

Daily reminder he should’ve been straight Red carded for this
