MRP / Trib. MJ in trouble?

[simpsonwillo]

Feel more optimistic but not confident now MJ is free to play against the wiggles

Yeah, I thought the same thing. He will only get the reprimand either way - just different amount of carry over points. 70 to 95 odd doesn't make a big difference if you get a lowish level offence. But in reality, there's not a lot of scope to move.

It's clearly misconduct regarding an injured player (which is same points punishment as striking and less than rough-conduct), and the incident itself is obviously intentional IMHO. It's already assessed as 'low-impact', so not sure what you're getting at there. The only thing you could play with is intentionality, which as I said, would be difficult, or suggesting it was insufficient force to begin with, which, given it's misconduct, would be hard to argue.

I think he's best to cop it sweet and just be smarter in future.




History of the MRP is irrelevant here anyway, there really isn't much grounds to challenge I reckon (see above).

Yeah having thought about a bit longer and viewing the footage again I think there's basically no change he'd get off. That 20 points could be a difference somewhere or other.(unlikely but possible)

He had a good record for 6 years, can't see him being in the MRP panels assessment again any time soon so hopefully the extra 20 points is largely irrelevant

MRP has been extremely generous and lenient since the Fyfe incident.

You noticed and I noticed.
They know they absolutely stuffed the Fyfe decision.

They've got form for it as well.
I was surprised that MJ trying to bash someone to death with his bum was 6 years ago.

How did Johnson get a 6 year clean record?

Am I getting old, or was that head-high bump in a pre-season game so it somehow doesn't count toward his MRP record?

It was six years ago and has expired.

Ok, so I'm getting old then.

Yep , and by my calculations they still owe M.J. 3 weeks.

To us, or generally?

No generally. Thought Glass, Young and Gibson were fortunate.

The MRP is an absolute disgrace.

The bloke who hit Chapman ... That was ten times worse than Fyfe.

Low vs medium; reckless vs negligent ... An absolute farce.

And what about Bartel? He ran through the ball and basically concussed someone, yet nothing is even mentioned about it.

Makes my blood boil.

I think they called that low impact

 

[DOCKERZ]

Well Fyfe did have a two step run up before cleaning up Teac, so it was clearly medium impact..
Glass took ten fairy steps before Wingard went to hospital, had to be low impact.
How could anyone doubt the MRP and their classifications.

That incident was probably a bigger scandal than the recent Fyfe sham.
Wasn't it a pre-season game against North ?

At least chook wheels are not biased. The sooner we switch to a chook wheel the better.

Yes Fred it was Nab cup and Norfs, Nathan someone I think.
Clinton Jones on Chapman;left the ground,made deliberate,direct forceful contact with the head etc etc.
No wonder RTB is saying he doesn't understand the rules anymore.
Intent has got to be given greater weight than medical report.The way it stands you can make accidental contact with someone's glass jaw and get a month cos it broke;conversely deliberately attempting to break a brick-heads jaw get you nothing cos you're the 100th bloke to try.
I'm with basashi bring on the chocolate wheel.
Alternately do it on a Bigfooty poll that's got real cred.
