What a waste of everyone's time and energy.
It shouldn't have been reported in the first place and Christian has lost the plot.
Surely we have enough umpires on the field to lodge a report if needed and the MRO should only look at things behind the play that the umpires miss.
I suspect the AFEL will ignore the punching of Cody’s nuts to any real degree, say a $2,000 fine. But this is where I think the system is flawed.
Cody gets punched in the buts, and the AFEL get $2,000. Why doesn’t the player with the sore nuts get the money? Why does the AFEL deserve to keep the $2,000? It doesn’t mate much sense.
Yes. $1,000 per testical.
What about Mundy’s deliberate two fingers in Bont’s eyes?
Wilson will get a week if they consider it to have enough impact to warrant a report at all. It's an intentional action and groin is considered the same level of severity as head high so even with low impact it's 1 week.
The eye poke in real time looks accidental, just hands and fingers flailing as Bont tries to dish it out. On slo-mo though, it looked bad, a real clawing action.
Look I'm not saying there is anything in this but Razor Ray was the umpire that spotted the goin tap and gave the 50 against Wilson.
He was also the umpire who didn't give Wilson a holding the ball free when he got Hannan pretty good, and was also the umpire that got Wilson for that holding the man free on the goal line, both of which seemed harsh. Could he have been dealing out a bit of karma to Wilson on purpose?
