I'm suprised that SBW isn't facing longer on the sideline to be honest.
Why? Have a look at the photo (and thankyou for posting that by the way). Sonny's
wrist is in contact with Thurston's neck, which means it's hardly an elbow flush to the jaw like some people were peddling. And what happens after this still? Sonny 'uncocks' his arm and pushes away at Thurston. This is what Folkes , Mason and co were referring to when they called it 'more of a push'.
The judiciary has charged him with something that gets one week with an early plea. I believe the Dogs will go to the judiciary to basically agree with that assessment , but 'ask' (obviously not literally) for the carry-over points and loading to be circumvented by a charge downgrade. I believe there's some precedent on this type of thing at this time of year with Andrew Johns last year.
The other point about that photo is that it shows both of his arms together. Who goes in to elbow a guy in the head with both arms together like that?
