Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2706510, member: 1950"] [b]Re: Justin Hodges on report[/b] It looked pretty bad, and the negative part of me says any other week he's got the same charge and it's probably right. Then again, most of the time these Grade 1's aren't challenged because players take the charge and the carryover points and live with it. It's like contesting a 66km/h in a 60km/h speeding fine, who gives a shit. Pay the fine, take a demerit point and move on. Hopefully we can get a good defence and the mitigating factors (including the enormity of the occasion for Hodges) should merit him playing. But I'm not sure whether the media and public interest pressure will sway the judiciary towards or away from the result we want (i.e. bow to public interest, or take a very public stand to make an albiet futile example?). Psychologically, for the team, it will be a positive. "Do it for Hodgo" just got amplified 100x and Bennett will eat up the siege mentality if he gets suspended. [/QUOTE]
