Cunnington fined $5000

No idea how the MRP came to this as the unbiased umpire who saw it called play on.

Please explain the dud how can this be?

I bet Chuggington would prefer a week than paying such a big fine.

That’ll f*** him!

It was a cowardly dog act, and so typical of these bastards at North..... God I hate that club!!! On the other hand, did anyone from OUR side pay the prick back in kind??? Sad to say, since the days of Sammy Hamill and Stephen Powell as well as Bakes, we just have NOBODY with any mongrel, NOBODY!!!!

Agree we have no sh*t in us at all. A meek and mild rabble at the moment.

"A meek and mild rabble"....... sums it up perfectly. Could it come from the "meek and mild" Senior Coach???

So to go along with knowing conversations you don’t hear (Carlisle) you also know what people do and don’t see, it’s amazing!

Why don’t you get Gears on the blower and see what he thinks? :lol:

Going further back we had Cowboy, Alan Morrow, big Carl, Jimmy O’Dea, Jimmy Read, Barry Lawrence, Travis Payze, John Bonney and Brian Sierakowski all players with a bit of unpredictable mongrel in them. The team strutted tall and confident for over a decade with these type blokes alongside them.

Yes

At least we could be proud that our players could belt other players?!

We need to go back to those days, when we were still crap, but would win the fight!!

My proudest day, was of course the Greening day, nothing like a behind the play hit to make me feel a warm sense of pride in my team!

Ah, the memories, Carl missing 30 weeks, Plugger missing 25 weeks, who needs discipline when you can have your stars miss 8 weeks for ironing someone out?!

If only our guys would show more mongrel?!

Or even just execute basic skills would be nice

Cunnington's actions were atrocious and should have rang alarm bells in North's coaches box. Rather than chase the player who received the handpass (Billing?) from Gresham, he chose to TAKE HIS EYES OFF THE BALL, RUN THE OPPOSITE WAY AND SWING A ROUND-ARM CLENCHED FIST INTO THE LOWER ABDOMEN OF GRESHAM!

Another off the ball assault and he gets away with a $5000 fine? We didn't even get a free kick! 5 grand is a button off the shirt for Cunnington; suspension and disqualification from the Brownlow is the only FAIR penalty in this case.

Josh Battle tried to show some mongrel and lay a hip and shoulder - came off second best
