Val Holmes' manager has called for the NRL to adopt an NFL-style judiciary system after his star client was rubbed out for four weeks for a high shot.Holmes was given the lengthy suspension for a dangerous tackle on Titans fullback Jayden Campbell, which also saw him sent to the sin bin - a factor that contributed to the Cowboys' upset defeat that has left them in danger of missing the finals."In the NFL, it's all about the fans and getting to see their heroes every weekend," manager Gavin Orr told Wide World of Sports."So for all but the most extreme acts of violent play, players are fined and allowed to play the next week."I think it should be the same here - now Cowboys fans are robbed of seeing one of their marquee players in three (four) crucial games that could decide their finals fate."The lengthy suspension is also odd because Jayden didn't even go off for a HIA."So that would indicate that the hit, while it was high, was not that bad."
