Paul Wellens on Knowles horrific hip drop on Cooper.'"
But he's not saying he meant to injure anyone is he, he's questioning the technique (and rightly so as evidenced by 4nr injuries in the same game). He did say that about Knowles, yes. To my memory though he had no issue with the ban. That's the issue here...by there being "no case to answer" is basically saying that it's fine and within the laws of the game. The fact that Asiata puts himself at huge (arguably stupid) personal risk of a bad head knock is secondary.
