No Saints players listed for tribunal as yet....[/quote]
piss poor control from the umpires i must say. the umpire was in full view of what happened, saw the big punch thrown, and only sent him (donaldson) off with a yellow card. no report was even made.[/quote]
Two sides to every story BOP, pleased to see you reported them both.
Not shying from the fact that it was one Goodwood's dirtier days and the boys in the back line didn't have a great day with the quick fellas from PNU giving us a hard time. PNU played well for the majority of the day and deserved the win no question.
There was no report laid you are right and there was only one player sent off. That player was not Donaldson nor was this player the instigator, just happened to be the player who was seen. To say it was a big punch is also twisting things somewhat, no question he reacted and in the interest of the game the ump probably did the right thing to send him off.
Any particular reason you opted to name Donaldson?
On a footy note, there is a big reversal of form needed from Goodwood if the finals series is going to last any longer than 2 weeks. Looking at as many as 5 additions this week which, given current form, is unlikely to destabilise us too much... however they have all spent plenty of time on the sidelines in recent weeks.
Good to see Dean Cutting back for SN sake - not so good for us though! Outstanding player at this level who gives the SN team a lot confidence when in the side.[/quote]
yeah just checked the program then, and must apologise for mentioning donaldson as the guy. i was not able to put a name to the face on the day, and that's the name i got given by others (who were obviously confused too).
sorry for dragging his name through the mud
