Looked more like a forearm to me. Possibly glancing off the shoulder.

Yeah similar to watch Hocking did a few years back at the Gabba vs bris. Unintentional but copped a week.

I don’t think Broad was as bad as the two last week…at least he tackled whereas they both went the man.

I will never understand the MRO.

That’s about right for mine. Arms pinned, concussion. No need to continue on with with tackle over the boundary line. 4 is right

All result of the concussion (as in the difference between last week).

That said, I’m glad Richmond accepted it from the outset and Broad acknowledged his mistake.

I thought 3 would be fine. However he tackled him over the boundary line, slung him with the arms pinned and knocked the absolute stuffing out of the guy.

The “Choose your own adventure” panel strikes again

The fact we’re basing these suspensions off the outcome rather than the action is forever going to be perplexing. If that’s 4 weeks, Pickett deserved 4 weeks.

Pickett 2 weeks, McAdams 3 weeks, Broad 4 weeks.

Pickett got off very lightly.

His (Pickett) is the one I’m most dirty on. Just a ■■■■■■ choice and shittier use of the MRO on such an action.

Not surprised at all…and my initial post didn’t indicate that in any way.

I said I didn’t think it was as bad as the two “bumps” from last week.

They both should have got longer suspensions.

94

The previous two instances of swing tackles KO’ing a player both got 4 weeks so it’s consistent with previous cases

95

Ballard is free to play. Downgraded to a fine.

96

Well that’s just bs

Ballard: “But I didn’t mean to.”
Tribunal: “OK then, you’re free to go.”
