Citing Panel Are Testicles

[Hymenoptera]

The grab at the weekend got 2 weeks, not sure if anyone saw it but it wasn't slight tickle, it was a full on 'put you down' grab.
How this didn't get more than 2 weeks is beggars...

What did Marler get for his tickle on AWJ?

What did Marler get for his tickle on AWJ?

10 weeks, I think, but didn't miss any games as the ban was largely during the off-season IIRC?

This decision is mental.  Firstly, Rorke pleaded not guilty and still only got 2 weeks - Apparently it was deemed a very low-level offence.  Secondly, Sato pleaded guilty to striking and so had his 2 week ban reduced to 1. 

Presumably, the citing commissioner was a serial testicle fondler and felt that because it was outside of the shorts meant it was low-level...

Marler was cited for bad sportsmanship, Rorke was cited for this as well but panel changed it to reckless or dangerous behaviour- which carries a lower penalty entry!  .Must remember to kick someone in the nuts rather than kick ball off pitch.

Yes, thought it deserved more. Stupid thing to do. Not as bad as a gouge but a cheap shot for sure
