So Fritsch has his (what I thought was lenient) suspension overturned at the tribunal. Apparently it is now legal and within the rules to elbow players in the face.

That was validated when Stagerfield elbowed Vlastuin in the head 5 minutes into the grand final and we were forced to play a man down for the rest of the game.So Fritsch has his (what I thought was lenient) suspension overturned at the tribunal.

Head is sacrosanct apparently
After seeing what Dangerfield, Fritsch and Hawkins have been able to get away with, it seems the elbow is more so than the head.
Execution. What about Paddy McCartin? 6 weeks dropped to 5......why? The Ducks wanted 3 weeks like it was a nothing incident.What would have happened if it was Lynch?
I’m guessing if he touches his opponent next week they’ll make an example of him and suspend him for the season, just to show that they dont muck aroundWhat would have happened if it was Lynch?
Don't agree. He fended to avoid the tackle with a raised elbow. His choice.Actually don't have a problem with it. As I reckon Petracca contributed to it with the shove.
All you want is consistency though. I think back to Reid getting suspended after similarly getting shoved into the contest & collecting Fyfe..
We play a collision sport. Players are going to protect themselves & there will be casualties from it. There will be more if they don't protect themselves.
Have watched it a few times. Looks real bad in slow motion.Don't agree. He fended to avoid the tackle with a raised elbow. His choice.
Blamed it on his low sugar level.Execution. What about Paddy McCartin? 6 weeks dropped to 5......why? The Ducks wanted 3 weeks like it was a nothing incident.
Not if you are in a tigers jumper - Soldo says hello.So you can elbow someone in the head now. Fair nuff.
