Disagree in the circumstances where the incident is behind play.
Agree, we have seen this week the SMOSH bloke get 6 weeks. I think 90% of people would agree that was a sporting incident, clumsy, high, reckless, dangerous but essential it was a sporting act gone wrong.
I would now also think that 99.9% of people would say the Mawson Lake incident was at no point a sporting incident and nothing more than an assault.
Now im no rocket scientist but I think the majority of people would be pretty happy if someone had ruled those assessments of the two incidents from the weekend.
Same as the Seaton/Broadview incident earlier in the year. Once again 90% of people would agree his assault after being given holding the ball was not a sporting act.
