Diver Dick, your typical red neck response. Dead chooks are the consequence of cock fighting, something you probably support.

What I don't have is an issue with the rules of contact sports. played rugby in my younger days. Accidental injury is part of the game. In this case the whole episode was not in the context of the game, but took place remote from the game itself, it was assault of another person. If a spectator goes over the top and does the same to an opposition fan, can he plead, well your Honour I got a bit excited, its all part of being a supporter, as you well know. Guilty, sentence, you can't go to the next 8 games.

Sorry Dan I got you nick wrong. I'll correct it next time.

Dear Paul,

Smashing someone in the face and not only breaking their
jaw but their teeth - is not something that should be
taken lightly. I'm not sure about criminal charges - but
a more severe punishment than what's been given is
warranted in this case. His victim should possibly have
some input. The message should be put across that this type
of behaviour is not acceptable - no ifs and buts.

cont'd ...

Dear Paul,

I've just been corrected by my husband - who saw the incident
on TV - that the injured player was all over his opponent
to the point of being "in his face," and the opposition
player swung out at the annoying player's chest to push him
away - unfortunately, the annoying player bent his head down
at that instant and the fist collided with his head. That's the
way my husband saw it. And apparently that's also the way the
accused player described it as well. It didn't look like he
was trying to sock him in the face.

Unfortunately, these sort of tactics on the football field
frequently result in injuries. But apparently in this case -
it was an accident according to my husband - who watched it
all unfold on TV.

My NRL is no small game we have, from small country towns to city seen police charges laid this one we all saw was gutless and needs red card type intervention no you can not do just anything on the field

The victim's family doesn't want charges brought against the thug. Who would want a family like that!

I thought you would be recruiting him for Antifa Paul. They are total thugs usually wearing a mask.
