Pretty stiff I would have thought

Huge loss

[Guest fitness]

Challenge that crap!

I'll have to take another look, but it didn't seem that bad.

Two weeks???

Adelaide must have had a whinge? Can't remember it being an act warranting suspension.

Will need another look tonight.

I just finished re-watching the game and it there was no malice to it at all. Would be extremely unlucky. Must challenge this.

Colin Sylvia's jaw says hello.

well it would've if it could open!

[harry 1]

How does he get the same penalty as Brown did for doing a 'Leigh Matthews'?

Sentencing is an absolute joke.

being in WA i watched it on TV

Danger field had the ball under one arm, Trengove grabbed his other hand and tackled him to the ground. It was a "chicken wing" tackle as they call it in NRL. trnners grabbed his arm im guessing to avoid him beign able to hand ball, but it also stopped him from being able to defend himself as he went down.

I'd challenge it, but if they wana crack down on this sort of stuff we will struggle to get off :(

[RalphiusMaximus 6,053]

Thought he might be in trouble. It's one of the relatively new BS rules they brought in about protecting the head. I still say challenge it, but don't hold your breath on this one.

MRP meet Tuesdays don't they? I think Mumford copped a similar whack last year when he tackled Ablett.

Not quite. The chicken wing is more or less a wrestling arm bar/lock. They want that outlawed because of the high probability of dislocating the shoulder. Sadly, what Trengove did is pretty much a textbook sling tackle as the rulemakers have defined it, so I don't see him getting off. The fact that it was unintentional and that it was the only possible thing to do unless he wanted to just let Dangerfield go will have no bearing on the case.

I thought it was a fantastic tackle.

[No16 1]

If it is reduced to one match with an early guilty plea you would almost take it on the chin... Two weeks seems a bit harsh..

[Steamin Demon 392]

I thought it was a fantastic tackle.

So did I. It happened right in front of us and noone even though twice about it. Just a good solid tackle where circumstances went againt the player being tackled. If he goes it's absolute BS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dockett 32 1,239]

As does Beamers "Attempting to Strike" ,Pavlich getting off plus Jackson and Tambling's 1 week, in the week just past.

What a lot of rubbish, I doubt if this could be right and would set a very stupid preceedent for the MRP for the rest of the year. Chapman & Co. will get 6 months!

Nothing in it and if there is a charge it should definitely be challenged.

Hawthorn , Geelong and Collingwood tackle like we did yesterday on a weekly basis. We need to follow suit and in fact go even harder.

love to know the source on this, it didn't come up on the radio just then

[Red Sox 2]

Not on a site anywhere.

Please, be wrong!

It was replayed on the TV replay from a number of different angles.

Defintely not deliberate but the consequences for Dangerfield were not good.

I realise the AFL are tough on tackles that maim a player but FMD the tackle was done in split second with no malice, intent or forethought by Trengove.

Very Harsh indeed if its 2 weeks.
