I listen to Annesley's reason for not charging Campbell. He said that the first contact was his arm hitting the ball but that is not correct as the arm hits his head then the ball and not one of the 4 made the comment. The guy should have been charged on that issue alone.
You can freeze the merkin out of it and work out at 23.8 seconds in he was readjusting his undies but its irrelevant. Watch it at normal pace. There was no malice intended.

Well you've spent a bit of time defending Vonny so it looks like you at least do. I do too. I preferred it without her. Seems like many others do too
I've just been commenting on the idea that one host is grossly worse than another. Its all largely the same shit formula no matter who is in charge. Just my opinion. Seems many agree.

@TheRam Whats your thought on us two putting our own footy show together and taking it to the networks? Of course we would want a decent contract. 6 figure or we walk.

You can say the same thing about pretty much all high tackles.
There was also no malice intended in Drowns one last year.
This is an issue of consistency. The Brown tackle was without mallace as was Campbell. Was Brown's worse yes, but to suggest that Campbell has no case to answer is inconsistent as the knees broke ribs and punctured his lung.

Hits on the head are off limits, accidental or not. Apparently not when it comes to knees in the back or ribs.

What they should have clarified when exonerating Campbell, was that the Brown charge was a reactionary mistake and should not be used as a precedent in the future.

I reckon Drown was too harshly treated. 4 weeks was plop ... and i think influenced by the roosters and subsequent media outrage.

And i think campbell was a lesser incident and was more accidental than Drowns.

So by my judgement, drown probably should have got 1 or 2 weeks and campbell probably should get nothing.

Should the Eels influence?
