The Canberra Raiders broke their losing streak in a not so Magic Round, winning with 12 men against the Canterbury Bulldogs at Lang Park. With Josh Papalii sent off and Jack Wighton sin binned, the Green Machine could be without two of their best players when they meet the Storm at Canberra Stadium in Round 11. Who would you like to see turn out in green for the game? Name your team and see how you go when the official teams are named on Tuesday.

Never been so confident in a 30+ point loss. Melbourne are everything we aren’t. Structured, fast, explosive and smart

The rest may do them well, we’re no chance next weekend. The Rooster can be beaten right now.

I feel like they’ll make an example out the Papa tackle so he’ll done for a few weeks, hopefully we have Jack and Hodgo back.

Yeah I’ve got it initially pegged in the 4-6 zone, thinking they usually give a little discount when the player got sent off as some punishment has already been served
But 6 won’t shock me in the slightest

Ricky said in the press conference, send off sufficient. And I agree with him. I'm struggling to remember a more incompetent NRL than the one we've got... They are taking decisions without consultation, and without any thought about the ramifications. They've turned "Magic Round" into a farce.

Think that’ll be close. Starling and Hodgson swapping though
Don’t think starling is relinquishing that spot

Think there is an outside chance Hodgson is named in the halves to replace Wighton

This was always going to be the danger though. When you've got a part-time Chairman who turns himself into a demagogue, a media organisation blowing constant smoke up his ****, doesn't consult, doesn't deliberate, shoots from the hip, wants everything to be done quickly..... this is what happens.

We don't even see, hear, or talk about the CEO or the rest of the Commission anymore. It's almost as if they don't exist.

Surprisingly, this team doesn't look as terrible as I thought it might. Not good, but not awful. Could still beat some teams, but not the Storm.

Yeah I think so
Shoulder with direct contact to the head. No mitigating factors, nothing bounced off the ball, the player didn’t fall into it
I think that’s going to be the range

Don’t know how the fact he was sent off or what the new crack down will mean for the charge... maybe offsetting?

I think it'll be 2-3

Grade 3 careless is 300 points. I can't remember what his record is like and if he has loading. They might charge it grade 2 factoring he was sent off

6 weeks is grade 3 reckless, I don't think it can be considered reckless

Unless it's dangerous contact which grade 3 is 5 weeks.

I hope you guys are right
But it looked pretty reckless to me

No idea on his record either, it’ll be a factor. If he gets careless but has priors, he’s going to land in the 4-6 range

2-3 weeks surely.
Can't say it was reckless. We all say look at things in full speed and in full speed that always looked completely accidental with both players' technique playing its part. The Dogs player ducking surely plays some role, as does Papa attempting to wrap his arms.

2-3 under the new interpretations would surely be sufficient.

Reckon Wighton and Hodgo will face some time out too, albeit probably less.

From memory Sia got 6 weeks for hitting Slater late and high, and was not sent off. Papa won't get six weeks and my recollection is he has a relatively clean record. Probably 2-4 weeks for mine.

I hope Jack won't get any. Hodgson perhaps one week but he does have a good record.

Unless this new ‘directive’ has been extended to the MRC and judiciary I can only see it being a 1 to 2 week for Papa, they’ll have that much evidence of past tackles they could be there all night watching video.

I’ve got no doubt they’ll be video evidence this weekend.

Hope so - I'll settle for that. The reason why I said up to 4 weeks as it reminded me of a tackle by Inglis on Josh Dugan in a SOO but Inglis did break Dugan's jaw with his shoulder. Here, the 18th man was activated and the Bulldogs player failed his HIA

Melbourne haven't played yet they could yet be hit hard by the crackdown. The Storm are always pushing the rules as far as they can and if there is any consistency around this round I would be very surprised if they will get through without any charges.
