Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
How many weeks? Can't say it wasn't intentional. 2 or 3?
*Allegedly.

Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
One at most but it was low impact so i reckon they'll throw it out or it'll be reduced to nothing with a plea

Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
Reckon he'll get off. Maybe one week. Looked intentional. Low or zero impact.

Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
Remember Plugger got four weeks for a similar one on Bluey McKenna. That said, he nearly sent McKenna's head into Linton Street. I forget if he kicked 12 or 14 that day, but he played like a man possessed after the report.

Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
According to Paul Roos, it should have been a free to Hogan.....
A bit like the 12th Man's version of Lockett vs Caven - Lockett missed 8 weeks due to a shattered elbow, Caven got 6 weeks for headbutting....

Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
Roos is a complete, lying tool.
I am still steaming from Plugger getting 4 weeks for a similar incident against Guy McKenna. So, 4 weeks is fair then!

Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
Roos is right it should've been a free to Hogan, but there would've been an immediate reversal anyway when Geary was elbowed in the head. Should get a week, but Lethal's trial by media has already let him off
Gehrig emerged from scans yesterday saying he was "as sweet as a bun"

Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
It would have been a free to Hogan if he didn't swing the arm back and connect with his jaw. Geary was all over him. Lucky Hogan is stupid. He will get a week

Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
It also cost Plugger a record. It was 1989 and after that game he had kicked 70 in 9 weeks ( 9, 10.7 on Silvagni, 8, 5, 5, 6, 6, 9 and 12). He was on target for 175 plus. He barely trained in that 4 week period. Teddy Whitten stuck up for him and picked him for Big V. He kicked 5 but did a groin, staggered through 2 more games for the Saints, and then was finished for the season. If he could have stayed fit in 88( ankle), 89( groin) , 90 (knee) and 91 ( back) he would have kicked 150 plus each year and we would have been in finals ( he played most in 91 and we got robbed in a gem of a final against Cats ).stevie wrote:He kicked 12 and that report cost us a finals chance.bigcarl wrote:Remember Plugger got four weeks for a similar one on Bluey McKenna.

Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
Yes the ungainly running action, as a young child he wore caliphers on his legs for a few years, I remember reading. Think it was when he was around 10-12 years of age. Can't recall the actual reason why, may have had something to do with what was called 'knock knees' in them there distant years.Bernard Shakey wrote:He had an ungainly running action.

Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
Maybe in the Ditterich era. But I'm with Sainter K. Don't like elbows.stonecold wrote:$1000 fine is a fair result!!!!!
The thing about the Hogan elbow is that it can't be anything other than intentional to have thrown the elbow (he looked over his shoulder as he did it), and he had to know it would hit Gears high. Hogan's just bloody lucky Gears didn't end up looking like Hayden Ballantyne.
Grading that as careless is just a gift from the MRP to avoid suspending him.
I just can't see how it's any different to the "tummy tap"; if we're rubbing people out for those now, why not this?
I accept that this has traditionally been part of the game. But if we're protecting heads, should it be?
Always loyal

Re: Hogan elbow on Gears
I think Hogan would make a great fast bowler.
He has a ridiculously long run-up and manages to angle the ball nicely across the stumps.

He was something different I clearly remember his fist game he basically sat on his apponents shoulder getting the tap out and apparently said " move over grandad" to whoever it was (Melbourne player?). There is a photo somewhere in the archives of that tap out.. Huge man frightening apponent, he was a junior school teacher I believe Must have frightened hell out of the kids..
And the president said " I did not have sex with that woman"
And our former president said " Football is like golf"
Go Sainters !!!!!
