Every single one I remember seeing this year was just an accident.. Jackson's one though he really pushed down on it, it didn't look good.
Based on precedent, Jackson, had to be suspended for at least one match in my opinion. I don't think it was that bad personally, but I think that about the vast majority of suspensions in the game these days.
Yeah I think 1 week would've been fair, especially since he has carryover points. But as far as chicken wings go, it wasn't that bad.
It was definitely on the lower scale of 'chicken wings' but players need to be more self-aware if we're going to bring wrestling coaches into the game. If anyone misses a Grand Final because of a grade 1 charge coming out of these prelim finals shit is going to hit the fan.
Which is why I've long favoured suspended suspensions, if you will. Suspended sentences, as they say. 1 or 2 week suspensions should not see you miss a grand final especially in the hyper-sensitive, super-strict climate of the MRC and the judiciary.
