Damage? The player himself said it just clipped him, he was scared and shouldn't have fallen over.
Clearly lots of posters don't remember Bruce lee and his 'one inch punch'

Digging into the why
So I guess the doctors lied when they wrote the medical report.
Or if the west coast player had not acted. How mny times is it poor old xxxx we even got Hawkins was a 'victim' of the harsher ruling
No. They were the transgressors
Mate Damien bloody Martyn of all people trolled him on twitter so he went running to YouTube to track down a video a quarter of a century old in an ill advised attempt to get his own back.
Fair to say he's lacking a little mental fortitude.
He didn't even troll him directly - he was responding to a third party tweet! Poor little Clayton had to go looking to find it.

What specifically was in the medical report?
I think they said Clayton was lucky to survive, and will certainly never walk again.
You don't know this. You are presenting your own supposition as fact. The MRP would have also examined Oliver for staging. This wasn't done in isolation. They assessed both events and made their decision based on the totality of what they saw.
Haha the Dees fans have really embarrassed themselves in this thread. Never seen so many supporters from a team come up with so much bullshit despite it being clear to everyone else.
He's a 19 year old kid... Nobody said he was perfect, well, maybe a couple of people did, but no, he isn't perfect. There's no reason for people to be making damning final judgements on a 19 year old kid based on a trivial incident.

9 out of every 10 medical sickies in the country are based on verbal comments, but Clayton Oliver's medical comments are sworn on a bible? Yeah, right!
What's next, faux outrage about some medico writing down what he has been told? Don't bother.
A medical certificate isn't worth a pinch of shit unless it can be scrutinised, and of course, it's illegal to scrutinize it publicly without the consent of the patient. A consent that I don't expect to see forthcoming.
I think you've embarrassed yourself by making final judgement on a 19 year old kid based on this minor event. How many posts do you need to make about this? It doesn't even involve your club. Is it such a moral outrage to you that you just can't control yourself?
He's obviously a moron because he has kept going with it.
Was he remorseful for his drink driving? The club didn't even bother suspending him so looks like they approve of his floggery.

I'm pretty sure it's not trivial to Schofield and his club.
Exactly. Has a player ever been suspended for another player taking a clear dive? I can't recall anything so weak as piss happening in the past. Is it, dare I say it, unprecedented?

Adam Simpson tonight:
"I just hope Clayton is ok, I hope he made the trip home."
When was the last time a coach called out an opposition player for diving?
It doesn't get any more passive aggressive than that.
I wonder what career lowlight of Simpson's Clayton will select for his Twitter counter-attack?

Schofield has himself to blame for starting the incident. The MRP took everything into account. He didn't get done because of a dive. He got done because of what he attempted to do - regardless of how well he connected or what Oliver did afterwards.
You also forgot to add the part where Oliver is a far better player than Thomas ever has been, and also isn't a soft campaigner like Thomas; as evidenced by him averaging ~15 contested possies and ~7 tackles per game.
Haha, great stuff from Simmo calling out the little turd.
Ok, keep posting about it if you must. But you are taking it very personally - I really can't find the outrage you're showing for stuff unrelated to my club, especially something so minor.
