League legends Andrew Johns and Phil Gould have gone head-to-head with Brad Fittler after Mikaele Ravalawa was placed on report for a shoulder charge on Josh Morris.<\/p>\n

Ravalawa was forced into a split-second decision early in his side's ANZAC Day loss to the Roosters<\/a>, when he got his body in the way of a barnstorming foray down the flank.<\/p>\n

In doing so, the winger rocketed himself into Morris, who went flying and stayed down for some time, leading the Fijian to be placed on report for a shoulder charge.<\/p>\n

Johns and Gould were in disbelief over the call, but Fittler was more than ready to go toe-to-toe on-air with his fellow greats.<\/p>\n

\"Ravalawa<\/p>\n

JOHNS:<\/strong> "Oh no, no, no, no. He has a fraction of a second to react and makes the decision, he has no time. he did his job."<\/p>\n

GOULD:<\/strong> "You can't be serious, you cannot be serious, farcical."<\/p>\n

FITTLER:<\/strong> "I've got to say boys, you might not think he had time, but it was still a shoulder charge. he knows the rules, it's a penalty every day of the week."<\/p>\n

JOHNS:<\/strong> "Is Nick Politis sitting next to you down there Freddy?"<\/p>\n

FITTLER:<\/strong> "Mate, a shoulder charge is a shoulder charge, Joey. Serious."<\/p>\n

GOULD:<\/strong> "Well, that's not a shoulder charge."<\/p>\n

FITTLER: "<\/strong>He hit him with his shoulder, there was no arm."<\/p>\n

\"Perreira<\/p>\n

Ravalawa will face a nervous wait as the MRC hand down their verdict on his hit. <\/p>\n
