What's with all the REPRIMANDS at the tribunal - Charge (Striking another person) ????
One of our kids copped a reprimand. Took a mark on the boundary, got hit late and high and the St George player came down on top of him with an elbow. Our guy shoved him in the chest and the very ordinary bottom rung umpire pulled a card on him and charged him with low impact to the body. I was near the action and asked the umpire about the late, high hit and elbow at the break . He said he was going to get a free kick before he retaliated. I said "and 50?" as he had taken a mark. He said...why a 50 ! In all respect to the St George kid, he apologised after the game to our guy. Was offered a week with a reprimand for an early guilty plea. Probably should have fought it as he was 19 and played since he was 6 with no previous record and was pretty shattered to have a "reprimand" on his record.
Didnt get national media attention. There was one a couple of years ago that did. Maybe a wests player? What did he get?
