A 200cm+ 100kg+ player hit a player in the head with 2 forearms after running at him.
There was no ducking from the player, he should not have been expecting that type of contact and was unprotected at the time.
1 week every day of the week.
No i don't like it, i'd prefer Harry be out there this week, but i definitely understand it and think it is just.
The MC rated it as medium impact which it is clearly not. Look at the Charlie Ballard case - More severe than Harry's and it was downgraded to low impact as it didnt cause damage.
If you have a process that is what all cases are rated by you cant chop and change them to suit your inconsistency.
Based on the fact Sheezel jumped straight up the hit must be graded at low. Simple as that.
Harry was clumsy and 'could' have caused major damage but the reality is thankfully he didnt. Has to be given a fine based on that.
If we are going to suspend players based on the damage they could potentially cause with and action there will be lot of playing missing most weeks. Zurhaar's deliberate push to the head of Cerra could cause a serious eys injury or a little lower and you end up with what happened to Ed Curnow. Can't start rubbing blokes out based on the action - has to be graded on both what the action was and also the result of the action.
