Robinson unhappy with length of NRL high-tackle bans The North…

Trent Robinson has accused the NRL of going too hard on high-tackle bans, while claiming it is no longer worth challenging suspensions at the NRL judiciary.

The Sydney Roosters will be without Jared Waerea-Hargreaves for Sunday’s match against Canberra, after he copped a three-game ban for a high tackle.

The suspension means Waerea-Hagreaves will not play again until the Roosters’ second match of the finals, in what could double as his last game in the NRL.

Making the ban even more frustrating is the fact that Waerea-Hargreaves was only just returning for a four-match tackle when he hit Sam Verrills high.

Waerea-Hargreaves would normally have been able to escape with a one-game ban for the grade-two charge, but a horror record saw that it blow out to three matches.
