NRL Round 13 - Knights Vs Eels - 3:00pm Saturday, 30th of May - McDonald Jones Stadium

No matter if it wasn’t shoulder to head, being sent off NRL will still give grade 2 careless probably at minimum so probably 1-2 weeks minimum
This is why it’s good to at least name origin players in squad as he will definitely miss Parra game even if club was probably gunna rest him anyway
Will just be a problem now misses storm game probably
 
Hmm, there was a lot wrong with the tackle in that it combined 2 potentially illegal actions and a third legal but unfortunate action being the headclash.

But there also wasnt a lot wrong with the tackle

The shoulder charge is touch and go.

And the high contact with the shoulder is touch and go.

All the damage was done by the head-clash. I expect the judiciary to assess that without bias to onfield decisions.

There's some chance he walks free. Although given the theatre around it there may be too much pressure for a nominal penalty of a week or two
 
Surely if it was all head to head, shouldn’t get too many weeks, 1-2 max. Holbrook must have had a heart attack watching. Although a fresh J Saf is a bonus.
 
Terrible use of the bench by Laurie really. J SAF probably should’ve started, and just played 20 mins, why pick him otherwise he’s not an impact player. Murray or radley also should’ve started and been interchanged for the other. Anyway how about the upcoming knights eels game.
