I think the 2 game ban is harsh, he was out of most of the game and has been fined thats sufficient punishment.

I agree that there needs to be consistency, but I'll disagree that future opponents are "advantaged"... they still have to play 17-on-17, whereas we would have been down to 16-on-17 (assuming no-one else was injured and out of the match at that point). Alright you might not have your first choice available through suspension, but unless you've got several other players suspended or injured, you might not even notice their absence, especially against bottom-end teams.

No offence intended on that last remark.

=#FFFFFFThis is just to let tigertot make a losing Deacon is an advantage" joke.
Listen, we used to have Deacon stretchered off every other week, as everyone knew he was our key man and so they twotted him mercilessly, always about the head. That's why it now looks like an Azerbaijani potato. Don't remember many being sent off for it, though.

After the beer wore off I felt a built guilty about what I said about this incident. 100% sending off if you strike a player in the head like that whether it's intentional (which it wasn't) or not. A player has the responsibility of challenging for the ball safety so it was a careless swinging arm.

The ban seems a bit steep to me though but they haven't appealed it so it's now in the past.

Notice that Lee Smith swung at Brett Hodgson's arm on Friday with an open hand missing by a similar distance. Presumably that looked to you like he was trying to slap him on the @rse?

Yeaman on Grix? No intent, like raynor, knocked him out, like raynor did..

Just thought I'd share that can of worms
