Baker Screwed
Moderators: Saintsational Administrators, Saintsational Moderators
Forget this 4 seperate charges justifying the suspension.
Baker 4 charges = 12 weeks
Johnson 2 charges = 3 weeks (the elbow that busted his eye open was only deemed as medium impact BTW)

This is completely ridiculous.Junior wrote:Baker 14 weeks , 9 with early plea.
Absolute joke
This cannot be allowed to stand.
4 powderpuff punches equates to half a season??
Yet a headlock is fine, an errant elbow requiring 5 stitches is not enough force to warrant a report and Barry Hall's cowardly punch on Staker was what 7??
Going further this is a worse penalty than Caven's headbutt to Plugger's elbow.
Even Lynch's brawling with Wakelin in the 2004 Grand Final with double loading only incurred a 1 week extra ban.
On any balance of fairness this comes up short.
Flabbergasted.
Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends.

Trust me would have been used gazillions of times already if it were possibly (the 145 threads on Andrew Lovett being a recent example lol)

What about all the precedents that have been set? I can't believe the MRP are this gullible and stupid. Most of the hits to Stevie J were minor love taps and taken in isolation would constitute nothing more than a warning. The hitting of an injured body part, well f%ck me, if a player is going to stay out on the ground with an obvious injury, he is going to be targetted - we have seen it countless times this year. Smacking a player on the hand is hardly grounds for a report. I used to laugh at some of the posts claiming conspiracies on here, but this is a fair dinkum joke.
So in essence what they are saying is that if a player antagonises you, he will get double the weeks than a bloke who smacks you with an elbow in retaliation.
THis is a friggen joke. I have never seen such an obvious targetting of a player in all my life of following footy.

You must be f****** joking.
Everyone should do similar. Perhaps show a bit more diplomacy though.
