Apparently a couple of broken ribs and unable to play finals was the result, there was no intention to tap the ball whatsoever.

Fair enough, he definitely intended to do it, had he of made contact with the ball would there still be an argument.
if he has been suspended that many times how is he still playing.

Probably a fair portion of them in juniors. He's a pretty athletic young lad.

I’m very torn on this one.
Regularly bigger body rucks ‘protect the space’ AKA block out other lighter rucks from running and jumping at the ball. This is what happens as a result, they jump into the ruck blocking.
I also see the argument that this was intentional and not really an attempt to tap the ball.
I’ve heard people say for years they need to change the rules so bigger rucks can’t just block out lighter rucks from getting to the ball but as far as I am aware that hasn’t happened.

That's no suspension in any other league as far as I'm aware.
There were two free kicks not paid for impeding the ruck, one prior to the previous ball up, where the PHOS ruck jumps straight over the Kilburn ruck and wins it easily. He's then grabbed prior to the contest in question and another PHOS player has to throw the impeding Kilburn player out the way. Kilburn ruck steps way under the ball (it lands about 3 metres away on the opposite side of the contest). It should be a free to the PHOS ruck as the rule is you can cross the path of the contest as long as you get back to the ball.
To suspend a lad for 4 games for that is out of control. As was the suspension earlier in the year when he probably should have got 1-2 for stupidity, rather than 4 for kneeing (essentially rested his knee on a guy's helmet) harder contact happens 100 times a game.
