Every team does the bumping/pushing/shoving stuff... including Sydney... umpires should just pay a free kick if it goes to far. It is usually done to put specific players off their game.
Lewis a slightly different case - he did whack Cripps earlier in the year and showed zero remorse - absolutely should have been given a tough time. He had the last laugh... that's footy.
If the situation was reversed Lewis would do the same thing.
Lewis is a more of a whack them once type player rather than niggle all day, think he is too old for that stuff ie when he clobbered Goldstein...be interested to see if Nick Robertson from Brisbane gets another job this week vs Gibbs, Murphy etc. Think he fancies himself as a tough guy , not sure our blokes have the same capabilities as Dusty to release some of that pressure...
