Utai stopped, summed up the situation, and JUMPED to intentionally stiff arm a bloke to the head.
Quite a bit more dangerous than a light knee to the guts. I believe Big Willy's sliding knees into Morley's back were also overlooked. You know, the ones penalised for a "flop" and that Mason actually apologised for straight after, thinking he was going to cop a pasting.
Utai was at least trying to make a tackle. But in the end - probably got what he deserved suspension-wise, given his record in that dept and his general record at the juduiciary in 2006. Loading - fair enough.
Whereas Morely had NO RIGHT to be where he was, doing what he did! None whatsoever. He set out from the moment his monkey-brain conceived the idea - to deliberately injure another player. Not on!
And geez, is Willie Mason on a hiding to notheg here or
what?? if he chinned Morely you'd all be saying
"Oh, what a thug! He hasn't changed at all! Blah blah!" and since he showed a bit of restraint, instead it's
"What a pussbag! Should have stood up for his teammate! blah blah!" :roll:
I thought it was pretty widely known that Mason and Moz are good mates? And if I was playing against a mate and he did that to one of my teammates -
I wouldn't belt him either! Just go up to him & say
"What in the @#&$ were you thinking there, mate??!"
I hardly think Mason would be afraid of Morley - I've not seen Morley hammer anyone in a fist-fight? Who knows if the bloke can even go? Webcke is one of the toughest nuts in the NRL for eg - tougher than Morely, let me tell you and been doing it for FAR longer - but he sure as hell can't fight! :lol:
