Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2503977, member: 1950"] This great panacea that "one punch and you're off" is so short-sighted and against 105 years of precedent. I don't know how much worse your conduct on the field can get than taking matters into your own hands and king hitting another blind-sided player. IMO Merrin's punch is in the same category as Danny Williams king hit on Mark O'Neill. The correct decision under the old way would should have been Merrin goes to the sin bin, probably Hodges too for second man in. Fair enough, even though Merrin should have been sent off and Hodges was reaction was pretty mild considering the level of provocation from Merrin. For Merrin then receive the same punishment as the player you hit, who doesn't retaliate, is inherently and grossly unfair and unjust. Why don't the on-field referrees and Daniel Anderson get this? Why did they not penalise Gallen for lying in the ruck before it got out of hand? Why did they not penalise Tate for pushing Gallen? [/QUOTE]
