"I tried to break his leg."
-Issac Luke.
He had a bad spot in 2011 but has hardly done anything bad before or after. And on-field behaviour rarely reflects the person off the field. One of the nicest players I've ever met, very humble person. Same goes for Mick Ennis
If you had any idea or you actually heard the interviews after the event, he was ribbing his cuz on TV, but had no idea of the consequences. He is close family and he was never, ever TRYING to break his leg. It was a stupid statement and he regrets it and a lot of other things he says. He has a form of social anxiety, is working on it and is brilliantly talented. Not just in footy.
The tackle was made worse by the actions of SBW himself and Teo. Dollar Bill will testify for him and he'll most likely get off. Cuz.

:lol: qualityI am sure serial-killers are also nice in person. Otherwise they'd be very poor serial-killers.
If Josh Jackson got off, if Sam Moa won't lose time, then Luke may get some leniency
Then again he doesn't play for a favoured club , thanks Greenberg and Gynge.![]()
Lifting tackles have been around for a hundred years and will be around a hundred years more. They are a natural result of a collision sport where both the defender and attacker are trying to get to the ground as quickly as possible. And for all that time we've done a good job of judging their severity. The Alex McKinnon accident has thrown perspective out of whack. Throwing one of the harshest penalties you can in this game for a low grade variant of the tackle makes no sense, especially as a badly informed attempt to irradiate the tackleIm a little torn on this one.
On one hand - the fact that Surgess (?) was underneath the crashing body of Sonny Billal, cushioned the fall, and could be used as an argument of putting an attacker in a dangerous position.
But then again, that to me sounds like a similar technicality that got Fa'aoso off for his should charge on Ashley Harrison. Just because you did not injure the person yourself, does not mean you did not put them in a dangerous position.
As a leaguie, I thought there was not MUCH in it. But his record is piss poor, and he has no one to blame but himself.
If the league, are deadset, fair dinkum about running this tackle out of the game.. make someone miss a GF as a result of it and see how many we get next season.
Having said all that, I think he will get off because ... well after everyone has already mentioned.. its the GF
