Bailey deliberately pushes the ref in the back and gets 3 matches, Hock grabs the ref by the arm and got an 8 match ban ? ...........explain?????

Not sure of why Hock grabbed the ref but it was as you recall just a grab to get the refs attention; nothing like an assault or sustained rant at the ref

Seems like we were both wrong on this one. Hock did indeed grab Ian Smith's arm after a ruling that Hock himself was held up over the line.

Cant believe Hock got 5 matches for that "manhandling" lol

Can't help wondering if in both cases the reputation and records of the players may not have helped their cause.

No doubt , was they both grade C ?
