Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2141372, member: 1853"] IMO C. SMith should have been sent to the bin for 10mins for that tackle way before Lima should have been sent - what I couldn't believe was he wasn't even the player penalised at the time. Even if it didn't meet the 'definition of a grapple' (what that actually is I don't know because as far as I am aware the term grapple tackle doesn't appear anywhere in the rules of the game - it's a term coined by the media), it was still deliberately attacking the head/neck of the player. I disagree with them - in fact the opposite would be more likely - if he's not cited, charged and suspended it will be because these idiots and other media have dismissed it as nothing. I firmly believe that all media should be banned from commenting on foul play until the judicial process in the the matter is 100% complete and the player has either been suspended or cleared. And these other comments I have heard today about it not being worth rubbing a player out of the finals - double standards much? If it's against the rules it's against the rules whether it's week 1 of the season, the preliminary final or the grand final - the punishment should be the same. [/QUOTE]
