THE Sydney Roosters and the NRL are eight weeks apart on deter­mining a fair punishment for ­Mitchell Pearce’s Australia Day misbehaviour.

At a sometimes heated meeting at NRL headquarters on Wednesday the Roosters pushed for a maximum four-week ban, or a $200,000 fine, while the integrity unit insisted on 10 to 12 weeks
Guessing the NRL will get their way in the end

Are you implying the NRL has any more backbone than to roll over and give as limp a slap on the wrist they think they can get away with ?

Well, I don't know how well the Roosters argument of "How about a fine instead? He's already missed the Auckland 9s - Isn't that punishment enough?" will go

I'm shocked it didn't work, really. The NRL doesnt exactly have a lot of credit at this stage.

Well to be fair they seem to be fixated on the dog thing which is ridiculously overblown so in that regard Pearce is hard done by compared to other players who have literally assaulted women for real and had zero punishment. Also clubs have systematically and deliberately cheated the cap so outrageously that they set up a frigging dynasty and also not been punished.

It still makes me laugh hysterically that there are Melbourne fans that think they were hard done by with that whole thing.

Is the Tigers being a bunch of worthless wasters and the Warriors underachieving spectacularly again not prize enough?

$125,000 ($50,000 suspended for two years) and 8 weeks for Pearce. Pretty much the slap on the wrist we expected.

Who's commentating on fox? I'm slumming it on nine hd at the moment, but I'd swap to my spotty fox sd stream if Vossy is calling the game.

Switched over to nine for a second, they have the same score layout as Foxsports, but the whole video looks like someone smeared Vaseline on the lens.

They are taking the Foxtel Play stream?

Can't have too much bandwidth for HD, can't sacrifice the 24hr shopping channels.
