Not sure of it was mentioned but apparently Thomas is in trouble for North

Great news for us if he gets sighted from the MRP
Doubt he'll go.  Not much contact at all.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Jackson got suspended for a similar headbutt to Campbell Brown. It was high and deliberate. Will draw a few activation points IMO.

Think we need to give Matty White a run in the 2s. Been really good sub but can't not be giving him full games. He'll lose his fitness.

That's probably not a bad call Pope, Vlas may come back in for White which leaves Arnott in the team, Big O out for Maric and maybe Batch for Tuck...maybe.

Will get at least a week for stupidity

And I think he has priors

WP how does it compare to Waites

I think they will go down hard after letting him off in Rd 1.

I watched it on the news last night, he is gone, no question, it was intentional, he made contact, there was no staging by his opponent his head was clearly moved back by the force of the impact.

Don't think you can compare daniel as Waite appears to be a protective species when it comes to the MRP and round 1 of the season.

With the Thomas one, every camera angle shows he headbutted him, didn't push his head into the Giants kid, clear headbutt. Granted no great force but it was stupid (they'll call it reckless, I'd call it INTENTIONAL) so that should be enough for him to get a week

Bigger concern is Petrie kicked 5 so his confidence will be up and he was the difference between the 2 sides last time

Didn't Waite go for a very similar head nudge?

Yeah think he got a week - as I said protected species by the MRP - he never cops decent penalities depsite his list of priors

Chaplin will be the difference this time. Towelled Sookwoldt. Will spank flat track Petrie.

In: hardness, toughness, tackles and accuracy.
Out: cuteness, softness, limp-wristed tackles & inaccuracy.
