Tribunal discussion/views/debate

[story of my life]

I still reckon the worst thing about this incident was the fact that no one really squared up.
hate to sound like a dinosaur here people, but if one of mine went down like that ....
I'm not talking about a king hit 100 metres off the ball but there are plenty of ways to kill a cat without f****ing it

[southee]

Cowardly -probably
Crude- definitely
Thoughtless-definitely
Suspension for 2 wks -definitely
Did the Bay player deserve it- from what I saw ,definitely.

Yep ...the little snipper, loud mouth got what he asked for !!!!

Haven't seen anything official but have spoken to a few people and read elsewhere that the Sutherland report was thrown out this morning and Andrew Hayes will face the tribunal.

That sucks. At no time did Sutherland look towards the flight of the ball. At no time did his hand/s go in the direction of the ball as Zorzi was going for the mark. He was hunched over with the point of contact under Zorzi's arm and on his (zorzi's) side. Sutherland was in no way attempting to mark or spoil the marking contest. Sutherland aimed for Zorzi, and made no attempt to mark or spoil the ball in the marking contest.

No wonder he had a smile on is face after being reported because he knew that as a Doggie player it would more than likely be dropped or end up as 'not guilty'. How many doggie players have had reports dropped before going to the tribunal this year? Of the 7 doggie reports that have gone to the tribunal, 5 have been found not guilt (including 1 appeal upheld) and only 2 resulted in 1 match suspension each.

Says more about the umpires laying frivolous reports and wasting clubs valuable time than anything else. Been a lot of reports and a lot of not guilty/withdrawn decisions across the board this season.

Looked similar to the Taylor Walker incident earlier in the year. That's right he got let off.

Wow, which incident were you watching. Sutherland started off desperate to get the the contest but when he realised he wasn't going to make it instead he turned his attention to avoiding really taking someone out. The way to do that is almost like a tackle and requires actually looking at the player so you don't hit them in the head with an elbow or a knee. He was in the air, contact was going to happen and he did everything he could to minimise impact. The fact Zorzi got up quickly without remonstrating probably shows a 100kg man running at full speed DIDN'T make anywhere near the impact he could have.

[Jim05]

Sutherland didnt deserve a game for that. Probably a free kick at worst, play on. Would hate to see a guy miss a GF for that

Unfortunately, Hayes will even it up, He will get a game.

The sourest!

[westcoastpanther]

What about Peter Rolfe's, he has his hands in the air, trying to sidestep the on coming player, doing absolutely everything he can to avoid contact and he goes in the book. Unbelievable to think where our game is heading

[HOORAY PUNT]

Yes that was ridiculous that one. What else could he do ?

[geppscrossrams]

Yes that was ridiculous that one. What else could he do ?

They also need to factor in that the Eagles player was actually pushed into him as well.

Being reported is a far cry from being suspended. Let's not get too upset until someone actually gets rubbed out.

[smac]

Hayes free to play.

[Big Phil]

Hayes free to play.

Yes, given a reprimand which is all it should have been. The correct decision there.

[fish]

Hayes free to play.

Yes, given a reprimand which is all it should have been. The correct decision there.

Was never in doubt!

Can now play for his fifth Premiership Medallion.

If He gets a game, it looked like He was struggling a bit, The Twins look faster than Haysey at the moment!
