Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 3091594, member: 2065"] My apologies, the fault lies with me not understanding your point. I see what you are saying now, and I see the validity of your argument. Yes, I would agree there is an inconsistency in treating a criminal offence of being of lesser severity than an integrity offence, but does it not ultimately come down to how the governing body and the club view the respective breaches? If they regard an integrity offence of failing to assist the integrity unit as being a more fundamental strike at the game's reputation, are they necessarily wrong for holding that view? What about my other point, the actions of NAS seem to be more serious in terms of the extent and degree of violence involved, the potential for physical harm that may have occurred compared to the actions of Fifita. NAS got a suspended $15,000 fine and three test matches. Given that recent precedent, does not a suspension of 1-2 games for Fifita with or without a small fine with him having to fund the compensation to the victim seem like appropriate punishment to you?
