FFS that aspect is a joke......regardless of the injury received, the sentence should not be effected - it was head-high severe contact that could have caused severe concussion, or worse a broken jaw had he connected slightly differently......and then Staker would've also been out for 7 weeks!
The tribunal IMO must consider the injury to Hall.....perhaps 2 independant doctors could have assessed Hall's injury, and then the average weeks out could've been added (or maybe half) to the term.
For example: Doctors believe the broken wrist is a 6 week injury (one doctor thinks 5 weeks the other 7 weeks, take an average).
So the "extra" penalty is 3 weeks, on top a minimum 6 weeks out.
The tribunal hands down 7 weeks suspension - ie. the 6 weeks he's injured plus 1 "real" week of suspension. The "extra" penalty is 3 weeks, so you add another 2 to the 7 weeks to give in total 9 weeks suspension (ie. 3 "real" weeks out).
Pretty simple eh?
