I think one of those was related to domestic violence2 persons arrested for assault after Bulldogs rabbits game.
goes for scans tomorrow morning apparently, so hopefully for Souths and him, it's not at bad as they think and he will be back soonNot looking good for Adam Reynolds possible unattached lateral ligament of his left knee facing between 3-5 months on the sidelines
Sutton still has another 1-3 weeks out.NRL Fantasy nightmare!
This will test the bunnies depth, GI looked to be hurting yesterday, Reynolds might be gone for an extended period, Walker out also. When is Sutton back? I would imagine he will slot into 6 and Keary 7
If I was Graham you would attempt a charge down by not diving at the feet of the player which the penalty was for. everyone else has managed to stop filed goals by running at the player with their hands up just look at the storm v cowboys game on Monday night, there was attempted field goals in the game with no one diving at the feet. the rule has been around for about 7 years since Steve Price was doing it , and injured a half back taking a field goal
Ouch.........Tony Caine
Great call for those arguing about why it is a penalty try and find this footage.
Was it Price that broke Scott Prince leg as well

See, my problem is this: The referees let play go, so they either missed what happened, or they didn't think it was worth a penalty, UNTIL James Graham jumped up waving his hands trying to get medical attention for Reynolds. So it seems the penalty assessed was NOT for the action involved, but for the serious injury in the aftermath! SECONDLY, how the HELL do you then get the penalty goal from right in front, 10 metres out??? I've READ what has been said on it, but even the commentators couldn't figure it out. If they had've slotted the goal from out near the side-line where the ball LANDED, I'd have complained less. But what they're basicly saying, is this is the ONLY time in history, at least since that law's been around, that a player diving to stop a field goal has made contact with the kicker's leg? I HIGHLY doubt that's the case! Now that it's APPARENTLY a known rule, what's to stop someone later this round/next round/in the future, when down by 1 in the closing minutes, setting up for a bomb to the corner, then changing the action to a field-goal attempt when he see's someone diving out of the line to smother his kick??? Or 60/70 metre field-goal "attempts", like we see in basketball, just chucking up half-court haymakers when they see contact is inevitable???It was a penalty all day long, you can't make contact with the kickers legs under any circumstances and the reaction of Klemmer and Graham (to a lesser extent as Capt) was an absolute disgrace, they should be fined. The argument it was an accident, he was playing the ball not the man, the ground was slippery etc does not matter. These excuses, yes, should be taken into account when grading and suspending but contact with the kickers legs has been a penalty for years.
The rule is in place so as key players don't suffer serious injuries......ooops sorry I didn't mean it doesn't cut it, it's the same as contact with the head we see plenty of unintentional contact with the head and it is penalised every time and we don't start throwing bottlers or ranting uncontrollably at the ref with these because we understand player welfare is paramount and just you can't do it.
Inglis to 5/8, Keary to 1/2 and Johnston to fullback.......they're gone the bunnies!
Issac luke is about to get done for this
