One NRL star was whacked with a three-game suspension. So - was it too much, or too little? These two certainly could not agree 🤐
"I can actually find grounds for Felise to fight that ," Slater told Wide World of Sports' Sunday Footy Show.Dolphins star Felise Kaufusi has been handed a three match ban for this hit on Knights halfback Jackson Hastings "It's the cheapest shot in the game," Johns said.Slater pointed out Kaufusi had been lauded for a number of big shots in recent weeks, which kickstarted a back-and-forth between he and Johns.
"It's the cheapest shot in the game. If you want to smash someone in the back, give away 20 kilos to a bloke and smash them in the back... they are coached to do it, I hear it at club level."The backrower has got to get out and put pressure on the half, make him play early. "When the ball goes you can't just smash blokes in the back when he's not even looking. Someone is going to get seriously injured.""I agree that was fractionally late, and I'm not for that play," he said.
"But if you look at the slow motion, when Felise commits to the tackle he is committed when the ball is in hands." For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by

Keating’s attitude at National Press Club was one of ‘complete contempt’Former prime minister Paul Keating’s attitude at the National Press Club address this week was one of “complete contempt” but throughout the ordeal, ABC’s Laura Tingle was “none too concerned”, says Sky News host Caleb Bond. Mr Bond said Ms Tingle was too “starry-eyed” to remind the former prime minister of “basic facts” as he criticised the AUKUS deal. “And Tingle was none-too concerned about Keating's attacks on journalists, including Sky News political reporter Olivia Caisley … he treated a young woman – a fine journalist from this network – with absolute contempt. “Just imagine for a minute if John Howard had acted in that manner towards a young female ABC journalist. You'd have to buy earplugs to drown out the accusations of sexism and misogyny and whatever else. But when it's Keating and a young woman from Sky News - well, it's a free pass. “As long as Tingle remains President of the National Press Club, Keating will always have a willing host to platform his invective.”
