Dugan and Price disagree on NRL ban St George Illawarra fullback Josh Dugan appears at odds with Dragons coach Steve Price over the NSW Origin hopefuls decision not to challenge a controversial one-match NRL ban for a shoulder charge. Dugan on Tuesday put in an early plea for his hit on Penrith counterpart Matt Moylan,http://www.phoenixsun8s.biz/, ensuring his availability for the State of Origin decider. Price was desperate to challenge the grade-one charge at the judiciary on Wednesday night, accusing the league of going soft in their inconsistent interpretations of shoulder charges.
But Price couldnt talk Dugan, whose career was resurrected by the joint venture this season after being dumped by Canberra for multiple discipline breaches,http://www.jordangrapes5s.biz/, into taking a risk on his Origin chances. I was definitely a fan of challenging it. I was definitely all for it,http://www.playoffs12s.biz/, Price said on Tuesday. But at the end of the day, its Joshs call and his decision. Its a decision Josh made, so its what were going to run with. Dugans call comes with the Dragons contemplating their first wooden spoon since 1938, and speculation assistant coach Steve Folkes will not have his contract renewed. The Dragons, 15th on the ladder and in desperate need of Dugans on-field brilliance, will sorely miss the 23-year-old against the Sydney Roosters on Saturday night. Its good for NSW, but for us - a game when its pretty much crunch time in our season - its disappointing he wont be there,http://www.bugsbunnys8s.biz/, halfback Nathan Fien said.
Dugan is no guarantee to retain the NSW No.1 jersey, with game-one standout Jarryd Hayne likely to return from a hamstring injury for the ANZ Stadium clash on July 17. He did have a lot to lose, if he did get selected for NSW, Price said. But Im unaware if there was any consultation or conversation with Laurie (NSW coach Laurie Daley) there. Price certainly had public sentiment on his side. The NRLs decision to punish Dugan has been met with widespread condemnation, especially given he managed to wrap his left arm around Moylan and only made contact with the youngsters torso. Even Penrith supremo Phil Gould dubbed the suspension a farce on Twitter.
They cannot be serious. If this is now illegal in rugby league, may as well shut down the game #ridiculous, Gould posted alongside a photo of the incident. Price called on the NRL to re-examine its black-and-white ban of the shoulder charge, saying there should be more flexibility for offenders who do not strike opponents in the head. Theres been far too many inconsistencies with the shoulder charge this year,http://www.squadronblues13s.biz/, Price said. We definitely need to review (it) because there was nothing wrong with the old rules. We should have kept it how it was and just had harsher penalties for when people made contact with the head. Its very disappointing in my eyes and I definitely feel the games going soft in that regard.
