Its not just rest, it is injury risk mitigation before the final series, if they have a top 2 spot wrapped up.

He deserves a lengthy suspension, if for no other reason than his flimsy excuse of pretending it was directed at someone other than the person he was looking at and talking to.

Shouldn't even be up to the Dragons. Can't believe the NRL still let title chasing teams sign rep players on short term contracts to cheat the salary cap.

It was bullshit when TPJ signed for the Panthers to play 6 games, one of them a grand final.
It was bullshit to let Nofoaluma go to try and win a comp with the storm.
Letting Ben Hunt play for brisbane for a couple of months would be worse than both of them

Annoys me more than anything else about the comp

handy hint

google "QRL Piakura" and you can taken to this page

https://www.qrl.com.au/players/qrl-premiership/norths-devils/brendan-piakura/

Only works for players contracted to QRL/NSWRL teams, not NRL players who happen to have played a bit of QCUP/KOECUP

Tamou called the ref incompetent, had the charge downgraded and got 1 week.
Brandon called the ref a cheating bastard and got 3 weeks.
Both plead guilty and were apologetic and that seemed to reduce the sentences.

Walsh has gone on social media defending himself, saying he was saying it was directed at Titans players (but was facing the ref and no Titans players, and his previous words "I stopped" were definitely directed at the ref).

This is Walsh's 2nd offence (seems the 2 offences in Origin don't count).

Based on this table, if he is found guilty and it is deemed a grade 2 offence, he gets 2-3 matches or if grade 3, 3-4 matches. Just a fine if deemed grade 1.

OFFENCE GRADE 1ST OFFENCE (Early plea in brackets) 2ND OFFENCE (Early plea in brackets) 3RD OFFENCE (Early plea in brackets)
Contrary Conduct 1 $1500 ($1000) $2500 ($1800) 2 matches ($3000)
2 2 matches (1) 3 matches (2) 4 matches (3)
3 3 matches (2) 4 matches (3) 5 matches (4)
