Re: Cotric and the judiciary

Re: Cotric and the judiciary
Yeah, i dont want to hear **** about how the Raiders get treated by the MRC again
The club should enter the early plea on that right this second before the media get too into this and the reactionary NRL reconsider. 3 weeks for that is, IMO, incredibly soft.
But im pumped for us and im pumped for Nic.

Re: Cotric and the judiciary
What Wade Graham said was because Cotrics feet came off the ground he was not able to 'care' for the tackled player. So in my mind that makes it careless.
Yes Im obviously biased but if the Raiders can successfully argue a downgrade and take the early plea, he might get away with 1-2 weeks.
Frankly I hope its downgraded to a grade 1 and with an early plea he misses no games, but thats probably a bit of wishful thinking.
Id like to see the Raiders really get on the front foot and attack the charge. We dont often fight these but seeing some players come away with fines for some pretty bad offences this season... we should have a red hot go at it.

Re: Cotric and the judiciary
Correct charge. If he wasn’t sent off, he would probably have it worse. Maybe contest grading, but 3 weeks means he is back for Roosters/Storm.

3 weeks is a fantastic outcome seeing as this week is the Tigers bye.

Re: Cotric and the judiciary
Charged as a dangerous throw as sticky called it, rather than a spear tackle

Re: Cotric and the judiciary
Take the plea and run with it...
The commentariat will bicker about it, call for harsher penalties, and the next lifting tackle will get 8 weeks... but that's another teams problem.

Re: Cotric and the judiciary
He got the absolute highest penalty you can get without being referred straight to the judiciary.
Grade 3 is the highest with 500 points. He can get 25% reduction for early plea, which bring him to 375 points - 3 weeks and 75 carry over points.
Its' only his good record and zero priors that drops it into the 3 weeks range. Someone with similar previous offence would be getting 50% on top of the 500, so 750, and if they had carry over points of say 60 then they would be hitting 800 points and 8 weeks off.
If it's a non-similar offence the loading is 20%
He deserves the 3 weeks because he isn't a dirty player and has zero priors.
Pointless arguing a reduction to Grade 2 and risking the 25% discount for early plea. Best case 2 weeks, lose and it's 5.

Re: Cotric and the judiciary
I dunno how you can argue it either, it's one of the worst spear tackle/dangerous throw/whatever the **** you want to call it I've seen in a long, long time. My gut feel was 4 to 6 weeks, so I'm absolutely stoked with 3!!

It's a 5 week charge, and if you've got history, 7. Which is the range most of us felt it landed.

Re: Cotric and the judiciary
The NRL has like ten articles on this tackle, but none on that dead **** Roosters player headbutting someone on purpose...
Re: Cotric and the judiciary
According to an LU tweet, he also gets -21 points discount for the send off (1 pt per minute)
Which is interesting, i had no idea that was a thing

Ah okay, this explains it well.. the next player will cop a worse penalty for it then as they’re not likely to have a record as clean as Cotric’sBeejay wrote:He got the absolute highest penalty you can get without being referred straight to the judiciary.

Re: Cotric and the judiciary
Sounds reasonable though, when you think about it, because he's missed a whole game PLUS his team has had to play with 12 men for a whole game.Beejay wrote: ↑July 15, 2019, 11:06 amWhich is interesting.

If that's the rule it sounds like a good one, but I've also never heard of that.
Re: Cotric and the judiciary
Tigers, Panthers and Warriors is a pretty soft schedule to be missing a major strike weapon

Re: Cotric and the judiciary
If this is true regarding the points deceasing by 1 point a minute for the send off then at worst he is facing 4 weeks if he fights and losses. If we didn't play the Roosters in 4 weeks I would possibly look to try and get a downgrade, you are only risking a week.

He's been charged with the most serious grading for a Dangerous Throw. MRC basically saying that's as bad as they can be. I don't see that as "incredibly soft".PigRickman wrote: ↑July 15, 2019, 10:41 am Yeah, i dont want to hear **** about how the Raiders get treated by the MRC again

FTR I think the grading is right.

Same with the Warriors, we're top 4 team playing a squad coming 12th.
There is no reason why we cant go 3/3 without Cotric. We're a better team than each of the units we're facing.

Re: Cotric and the judiciary
For sure I think Raiders can win all 3 without Cotric too.. I just don’t think those teams will be as much of a push over as a quick look at the ladder might suggest to some that they will be for the reasons I’ve stated above... plus don’t ever discount the Benji factor against the Raiders!
