🚨 LIVE: Judiciary Report – Carrigan Fronts Tribunal for dangerous contact offence on Jackson Hastings 👇
Carrigan has been suspended for four matches.7:12pm: Knowles responded by pointing out that Carrigan did not need to join the tackle on Hastings as he was already held by two other Broncos defenders.Ghabar suggested that the penalty imposed on Carrigan should be no greater than two matches.
"This was, with respect, at least reckless, and bordered on intentional," Ghabar said of the McGuire tackle."It was precisely what Mr Annesley talks about in his memorandum - the full weight of player McGuire was on the lower leg."McGuire lands directly on the foot [of Addo-Carr], it was his full weight unlike player Carrigan, whose weight landed on the ground.
"There was a very serious risk of injury in that conduct. In fact it was fortuitous, if not miraculous. that player Addo-Carr was not injured given the level of force that was applied."Carrigan's legal counsel Nick Ghabar tells the panel that the Broncos forward was guilty of a"low or moderate level of carelessness" due to the involvement of Brisbane team-mates Keenan Palasia and Corey Paix in the tackle.
Carrigan has hold of Hastings' waist and the other tacklers turned and pushed the Tigers lock over the top of Carrigan with a"significant driving force".Knowles tells the panel he is not seeking an"eye for an eye" and believes an appropriate suspension for Carrigan would be five or six matches.NRL legal counsel Patrick Knowles refers to a medical report about the season ending injury sustained by Hastings.
