Perhaps read what i have posted again.
The system in place results in a rough conduct charge being triggered because of an injury being sustained. It's a catch all offence. Of course the consequence of an action has a bearing on the penalty, it always has influenced the duration of a suspension. It is just much more so in the case of rough conduct, hence all the angst.
I dont like the end result of 2 weeks for Gibbs, but it is result of the system in place and it is attempting to serve a broader purpose.
