Greg Bird 10 weeks

[innsaneink]

Sharks boss Steve Rogers was reportedly disappointed Greg Bird copped 10 match ban
for kneeing Souths Shane Marteene....I think privately he might be thinking Bird was quite lucky.

 

[I Bleed Green]

Deserved exactly what he got, although it could've been 2-4 weeks more.

 

[Dogs Of War]

He pleaded guilty so I assume he got a reduced sentence. That will make him think about things he does on the field in future anyhow.

 

[Glen141]

it sue will

The panel recommended 7-9 weeks. He got 10. He deserved 15 (and I am one of his biggest fans). Rogers expected less because he wanted less.

 

[Kaz]

The Judiciary took 5 mins to reach the decision.

4 mins longer than, then what I would have taken.

I was expecting him to get 12 weeks.

 

[dice]

If he broke the players jaw it would have been a lot more than 10 weeks. The judiciary is a joke.

 

[11Straight]

He should consider himself lucky the cheap bastard should of got the season low merkin!

 

[11Straight]

Merkin :lol: :lol: i mean he is a low merkin

 

[beerboy]

those words are copywrited

 

[Raider_69]

needed at least 12 IMHO

Put your feet up mongrel

 

[thuganomics]

10 WEEKS a joke! 12+ weeks!

 

[thuganomics]

10 WEEKS WHAT A ! 12+ weeks!

 

[MEE]

How did he fluke his way into first grade. he's an onverated hack. and a coward.

 

[MTK]

The act was disgraceful.
But I don't understand how people can say that e.g. 10 weeks is no good, should be 12 or the panel recommends 7-9 but somebody (who?) picks 10

It seems very arbitrary. How do they arrive at 7 weeks or 10 or 12? Is there some sort of precedent? Do they compare all new offences to the suspensions that Mark Geyer served? Tim Maddison?

I don't understand the process for these ungraded offences. Can anybody shed any light?

Send Bird over to the UK then. He can virtually end a young man's career with his knee and get this, NO BAN
