Message: [QUOTE="JayPee, post: 3632167, member: 9256"] I think the whole Walsh conversation has gone a bit overboard mainly because he is a Broncos player and alot of you are very protective. Like you should be. I would be if he was a cowboy but the notion that he is getting unfair treatment and getting taken out of games and targetted unfairly and deliberately is a bit far. I agree with Del. This has happened for years on all the greats. Tedesco has been knocked out on numerous similar plays. JT got hammered going to the line constantly. It what makes them and Walsh so great. Gun fullbacks get targeted like this every week outside in by centres and wingers. Sometimes it goes wrong and in this case it got punished accordingly. They got this one right. He got sent off but it wasnt deliberate. You can see his eyes fixed on the target just before impact and late walsh drops maybe 6 inches and he clocks him. Thats the difference between an all time hit and a high shot and thatd the risk you take. I was expecting 10mins because of the history and the mitigating circumstances but the extra force and launch is what has got him sent and why he is only going to get 4 weeks by the looks. After sleeping on it Im not sure the mcguire and trbojevic criticism on their comments is fair either. Not many coaches or players are saying much different. Do I think Slater says the same thing Madge said last night if that is Holmes or Cobbo getting sent off for taking out Tedesco. Yeah I do honestly. Coaches stand up for their guys and team and even wrongly in front of the press. Its based in what team you are on and what goes against you. Very rarely will you see a coach say yeah my Player X deserved to be sent off there and it is totally fair. There is a few but not very many. [/QUOTE]
