Ya can’t help but feel for Woody, 3 suspensions in the last 3 years (2 this year) that all in honestly shouldn’t even have seen the light of day as reports .
Certainly don't agree with this part of your comment in relation to the most recent incident. No place in sport or life for comments of that nature - as stupid as he was to say it, there needed to be ramifications for his actions, and the incident needed to be raised via a report as it was.
However what good does suspension serve? Mediation and Cultural Awareness training are far more positive actions to take. This matter could've been dealt with better by all and sundry, but to suggest that it's so insignificant in nature that it shouldn't see the light of day is plain stupid.
Poor choice of communication perhaps or you’re reading more into the comments than needed. I was referring to the fact an agreement had been reached by both clubs to not lodge reports not whether or not the incident was reportable. Same with the case earlier this year, not right what he said to the umpire however if true similar happened last week without a report then there’s no consistency.
