I wonder if there's a bit of goodwill 'payback' for the Adelaide goal last year too, as pathetic as that sounds.I think the one thing that really chafes my crack is that if Rankine got up, Houston would be put on the video next year for how to execute a hard but legal bump.
This outcome based tribunal ruling is purely virtue signalling from an organisation who is too afraid to ban the bump but wants to avoid a future class action from head knocks. You cannot have it both ways.
Whoever said they specifically picked 5 weeks is spot on, they manufactured that exact number so he can't play in a GF which is very on-brand for them, especially considering the "interstate" factor.
Also, they didn't give a single shit about Houston's good record. Not one.
