While I think that it would be more appropriate for the umpire who failed to award Levi a free kick to be fined $1000, it's probably money well spent in the long run.
I have paid quite a lot of attention to our forward line hoppo-bumpo that takes place before every centre bounce and it is very clear that the defenders give Levi a wide berth. I suspect that his square up with Robbo might just make opponents a little more circumspect when Levi is around.
As for Hawkins;
They showed the video ad nauseum on Talking Footy and it was evident that Hawkins's fist hit the point of Davis's jaw before slamming into his throat. One week is getting off lightly in my opinion.

Quote:The punch caught Davis in the throat and the match review panel ruled it was intentional conduct, with low impact to the head.
