Rabbitohs Injuries and Suspensions

[Eric the great]

Well, they're just refs in there anyway. The Bunker is not the problem. It's the refs with their black and white rulings and their lack of feel for the game.

Those that can, play. Those that can't, ref.

The call on wighton wasn’t called by the ref he had called a scrum the bunker stated that a great try saver was deemed a hip drop and the cowboys scored in the next couple of plays

Yes, I know mate. What I'm saying though is that the bunker is just the other ref. They're all refs.

Yep all trying to get into the game

Keppie is challenging the grading of the charge but Sullivan has accepted his 1 game suspension. We'll find out tomorrow evening if Keppie plays this week or is out for 2!

I am glad we are challenging this. From memory, Keppie bent his knees and tried his best to lower the target area for contact but Drinkwater slid and lowered his body at the last moment. Surely that's a good enough reason why it's a grade 1 and just a fine and not a grade 2.

We'll see.

The replay of the shot is in this link. Drinkwater definitely slips. While it's not an excuse, it is a mitigating factor which could be argued makes it only a grade 1. That's what they'll be arguing I'm sure. Also, they'll point out that Drinkwater was "eetswa" (I learnt a new word recently ) straight away and kicked the bloody goal as his way of proving he was not concussed.

Very funny

Hopefully we'll all be eetswa when his downgrade is successful.
