Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3497292, member: 9853"] That's pretty much how I saw it too, and why I think the Bunker would err in that direction and leave the more serious deliberation of the incident to the MRC. Hit to the head. Maybe could have been avoided. Therefore careless. That's a penalty. We cry foul. If it isn't, the other team cries foul. Can't win either way. We wouldn't be making a big deal out of this penalty if it weren't our 11th hour chance at levelling the scores. The refs shouldn't attach any weight to where it occurred, the points on the board or the impact on the result. That would be a bias. I think it was one of those incidents that a panel could argue over, whatabouting precedents but not reaching a consensus. But the job of the ref/bunker is to give it due process, rule quickly and decisively, and let the game continue. We have to live with their decision, knowing it might not stand the forensic scrutiny of a thousand freeze-frame rewinds on panel shows. They're not always perfect. And neither are we. [/QUOTE]
