Listened to the David King /Gerard Whateley discussion re Stewart incident on SEN this morning.
The discussion was led by King, however Whateley supported everything he said. I have changed my opinion of King.
I am paraphrasing:
“Good character, didn’t mean to do it, coach supports him, made a phone call to Dion.....it’s all absolute crap and means nothing in assessing the incident.
Think of Dion who will be carrying the consequences of this hit for not just a couple of weeks but the rest of his life.
Assessed as Careless? Are you kidding me? He ran past the ball and knocked a player out, Intentional every day of the week. King was hoping the tribunal reassessed it as Intentional before hearing the case. A penalty of up to 8 weeks was mentioned by King.”
As I said , Kings thoughts aligned exactly with a lot of ours on PRE.
Just thought I’d share.
