Having said that, a king hit is as low as you can get

Let's review the last suspension from SW:Jones received three suspensions for striking, one for 10 weeks (by knee), a second for six weeks (by knee) and a third for an elbow. He also received three games for attempting to trip, while a stomping charge was dismissed.
10 weeks for a knee to the face of the TOS player which broke his jaw.. same same if you ask me.. might even use the word consistent.

The league has been consistent I don't think you can pose an argument any other way.
My argument is that 8-10 games suspension for a blatant king hit is not being seen as a deterrent and continues to happen on far to many occasions.
You go out on a football field you expect you may cop a high hip and shoulder, you know you might accidently cop a knee in the back in a marking contest, you know occasionally you might get a kick in danger to the hands, you may accidently knock heads.
I don't think anyone should have expect to be belted behind play whilst looking at the footy.

Coming from left field maybe the tribunal should consider a penalty of so many games to be served after the injured player resumes playing (plus being suspended while the injured player is unable to play) depending on the severity of the offence and the injury. This way the offender can not start playing before the injured player recommences.

It'd be a brave person to test that theory i'd suspect..

The concern I have is that the league is sending the wrong message out. To me, allowing the player to return after they have clearly seen the incident and know the damage it has caused, is sending a message that you can throw a punch on a Saturday and break someone’s jaw, put them out of work etc. and you will get a second chance to play in our league. Is it just me who is thinking about it like this?
