ORIGINAL STORY

SENSATIONAL claims of headbutting – not once, but three times – was enough to help Melbourne’s star fullback Billy Slater score a mini-victory before the NRL judiciary last night.

Slater, who will now only miss one game after his contrary conduct charge was downgraded from a grade two to a grade one, convinced the three-man panel he was not the culprit who sparked Monday night’s ugly brawl between the Storm and St George-Illawarra Dragons.

Video footage showed Slater climbing over the back of teammate Israel Folau midway through the first half to get involved in an altercation which had yet to explode.

The NRL’s counsel Peter Kite said had Slater, one of the game’s true excitement machines, stayed away from the bust-up, an all-in brawl may not have taken place.

But Slater, who remained calm and collected during the 40-minute hearing, claimed it was not until Dragons’ winger Jason Nightingale launched his head into his path several times that left him with no other option but unleash a flurry of punches.

“The first two may have been accidental, but it’s the third one I reacted to.

“I’m not saying I’ve done the right thing, and I’m not saying running in (to the melee) was the right thing. I’m not pleading innocent. I realise I’m a role model . . . but I didn’t throw a punch until the third headbutt.”

Slater did not back down on his startling headbutt claims afterwards when he said: “I don’t know if they missed it (the incident), but it was one thing we brought up. I’m not saying I’ve done the right thing by throwing punches, but there was an element of me being provoked as well.”

Kite stressed the importance of players not taking the law into their own hands.

“While the matter is not a prevalent offence, it is of growing concern. There have been a number of charges laid for contrary conduct with eight players in the Toyota Cup clash with Brisbane and North Queensland this weekend charged for a similar event,” Kite said.

“There needs to be a clear message to all players that they must remain calm in these circumstances and for them to let the referees control the discipline on the field, certainly not running in in an aggressive manner and leaping over other players to get involved in the action.”

Slater’s grade one carried 125 points, which was bumped up to 150 points because of previous offences. But a guilty plea reduced the overall charge to 112 points.

CHANGED STORY

SENSATIONAL claims of headbutting – not once, but three times – was enough to help Melbourne’s star fullback Billy Slater score a mini-victory before the NRL judiciary last night.

Slater, who will now only miss two games after his contrary conduct charge was downgraded from a grade three to a grade two, convinced the three-man panel he was not the culprit who sparked Saturday night’s ugly brawl between the storms and St George-Illawarra Dragons.

Video footage showed Slater climbing over the back of teammate Jonathan Haddad midway through the first 10 minutes to get involved in an altercation which had yet to explode.

The NRL’s counsel Peter Kite said had Slater, one of the game’s true excitement machines, stayed away from the bust-up, an all-in brawl may not have taken place.

But Slater, who remained calm and collected during the 40-minute hearing, claimed it was not until Dragons’ second row Jonathan Haddad launched his head into his path several times that left him with no other option but to unleash a flurry of punches.

“The first two may have been accidental, but it’s the third one I reacted to.

“I’m not saying I’ve done the right thing, and I’m not saying running in (to the melee) was the right thing. I’m not pleading innocent. I realise I’m a role model . . . but I didn’t throw a punch until the third headbutt.”
