Momirovski’s lawyer Nick Ghabar argues that Friend’s tackle was “far later” and “far more careless” despite being a grade one offence. He says Friend had plenty of time to pull out compared to Momirovski and there was a greater chance of injury.Judiciary chairman Geoff Bellew is now giving his instructions to the panel.Ghabar contends his client was far from careless during the tackle.
Ghabar describes the incident as “cradling-like contact” that lacked “blunt force” and adds that Momirovski showed a level of care to help cushion Dearden’s fall and prevent his head from hitting the ground.For comparison, footage is being played of a similar incident last year that resulted in retired Roosters hooker Jake Friend being charged with - and pleading guilty to - grade one dangerous contact to head/neck of Dragons halfback Adam Clune.
In summary, McGrath says Friend was “certainly less careless” and thus Momirovski deserves a grade two.McGrath, arguing the grading should stand, says the force in the tackle by Momirovski was “moderate” as he travelled “at speed” to pressure Broncos halfback Tom Dearden, who was kicking.

So momirovski hits a bloke on the shoulder but gets the same length suspension that kaufusi got for intentionally elbowing a bloke in the head causing KO. What a gee up.

If latrell gets downgraded it just shows clear favouritism in the NRL, would not be surprising considering he is made out to be some sort of role model.
