Let's bring JWH in to this since everyone is obsessed with the bloke
You want to hand on heart tell me that if JWH did exactly what whitehead did and ruptured say Harry Grant's ACL that the prevailing opinion on LU would be it was a pure accident deserving of no sanction?
Radley would be a better example. The bloke has had some insane form with the MRC mostly deserved, but I do recall a few charges where the consensus among neutrals was that he had been hard done by based on his history.
JWH is just a dumb thug, he has really been kissed on the dick by a fairy to not have had more suspensions.
Sucks for the Cheese, but that was a 100% case of just plain old bad luck.
The main reason for the "outrage" is Robbos hypocrisy. I get it's his job to defend Victor and JWH when they do dumb shit, but it aint his job to go after opposition players for their supposed shortcomings. He has cried about Falldesco headbutting blokes in the arm 6 inches off the ground for years. I don't think last night was in WGDP territory, but calling out Whitehead and saying 3 or 4 times that "it's too many" was out of line. All he had to say is no comment. Until that point he had shown plenty of class and then just undid it and kept on undoing.
