Match review committee hammering us again!!!! WTF is going on?
The Dolphins have been dealt a double blow with forward Jarrod Wallace and five-eighth Anthony Milford each handed three-game bans for dangerous tackles during Saturday’s NRL match against the Warriors in Auckland.
In the 13th minute of the Round 14 contest, Wallace was put on report for a shoulder charge on Warriors centre Rocco Berry, who was knocked out and later failed an HIA. The 31-year-old was subsequently charged by NRL match review committee with a grade two offence on Sunday, copping a three-week suspension with an early plea.
It was a shoulder charge but it wasn't late and wasn't high. It was a head clash that that knocked the Berry out. I thought 1 week would be the absolute worst case.
Meanwhile, Milford was sent to the sin bin and put on report by referee Grant Atkins following a late tackle on Warriors winger Marcelo Montoyo early in the second half of the 30-8 defeat at Go Media Stadium.
The 28-year-old was also handed a three-week ban (with an early plea) for the grade two offence.
Milford did hit him late but it wasn't high. I thought sin bin was more than enough. Absolute worst case, 1 week.
