Source was ABC radio. Didn't he only appeal the striking charge?
 
Good news for the Saints :) justs make (a further ) mockery of the system. :rolleyes:

Same as the Gehrig and Gardiner incidents , both of whom I went on record as saying should not have been suspended.

No wonder the Clubs and players get frustrated as they are never sure what to expect at the tribunal. :(

Such is life .

Only appealed the striking charge as I understand it. So the only cost would be $4800 out of his weekly salary in the end.

Or 5 months of mine. :(

His hit was deemed not hard enough to be reportable, the fact that it was low was bad luck as opposed to intentional.
There's just no consistency.

This tribunal is a joke. In isolation, I'm happy to see Koschitzke get off, but in comparison to some other incidents this year, it doesn't make sense.

Gardiner, Matera and Gehrig all got rubbed out for love taps. Did they hit guys with significantly more force than Koschitzke?

I don't reckon players should get rubbed out unless their actions have the potential to injure a player or take him out of the game for a period.

Everything else is a matter of a free kick, not a week on the dielines.

What's the point of rubbing a guy out for innocuous little incidents that don't hurt anyone?

As I have stated in an earlier post, it seems the tribunal is learning on it's feet, for instance at the start of the year they gave Gherig 2 for his love tap , fought it and got 1, after the media and public battering they received they have gone soft on that charge. Notice how the tribunal is changing weekly like a chameleon and continually tuning their penalties and charges making Guinea Pigs out of the players.
 
Interesting to see how they treat Pickett/Headland now. Both bumps were worthy of the 50m, but in each case Wiggans and Couglan jumped up as soon as they knew they had the free kick.

And just think back to Curley/Fletcher/Matera/Everitt who all missed games for umpire contact, so this aint a new phenomenon.

The more the tribunal learns, the more it forgets.

off topic a bit, but how many players have "accidentally" bumped into the umps in the last 3 or 4 weeks? coincidence or players revenge?
