Re: MRP - General thread

On the sports media will someone remind them they are there to report what happens not make it happen, thank god they aren't judges or a jury in real life we would all be guilty before we even committed a proven crime.

Seriously ? Nothing in that at all he was just pulling his leg out and running off.
The media jump on the tiniest things to dramatise and write something.
I think the MRP should fine the media for stupidity.

Yep. Nothing in it for mine.

If Dangerfield even gets a fine - then it is a disgrace.

I still can't see what he did wrong. It was pretty impressive that Danger could maintain his balance like he did with Geary's arm wrapped around his lower leg. Nothing in it.

You can interpret the knee in the face two ways:

1. He tried to free his foot by lifting his leg, and thereby a knee in the face or

2. He meant to give him a little jab and thought it wouldn't be picked up.

For me, I interpret it as point 1 although I can see a marginal case for duty of care. Danger had freed the ball by hand, Geary still had his lower leg wrapped up with his arm and Patrick looked like he had to use a fair degree of force to free himself from the hold. If this was Bont being held up by Geary in a similar fashion I would hate to think that Marcus would be rubbed out or fined for it.

How does the Dangerfield one compare to Redpath's suspension against Melbourne?

Good point Aza, both a knee to the face.

That was pretty crappy footage wasn't it? I vaguely remember thinking when I saw it that it looked to me like Redpath dropped his knee into him. If that's the case, I guess there's the comparison.

The Woodchopper should have got a good bloke discount.

Dangerfield cleared.

That was my point exactly. The Redpath one was exactly the same IMO. Redpath was being held by the legs and lifted his leg to get clear. In doing so he stumbled. Dangerfield was exactly the same. The only difference was Dangerfield collected his opponent on the way up with his knee, Redpath on the way down. Dangerfield's had more force. Neither deserved a suspension.

KB agrees

Re: MRP - General thread

It's scary when KB and myself have similar thought processes.
