MRP / Trib. Tom Hawkins suspended for 1 week for striking Schofield

[PhatBoy]

Maybe Tom shouldn't punch people in the head in finals.

Good thing he didn’t punch anyone then.

 

[BORIS332]

His only chance is if he can argue the impact was insufficient. If was behind play so MRO automatically counts it as intentional, and it was high contact. Only chance to get away with a fine is if it’s less than low impact.

There is that
Surely we must try for a downgrade to careless if he’s charged with intentional?

One week confirmed.

1 match suspension for Hawkins.I'm sure the club will appeal it.

 

[DangerHere]

Maybe they can get Cotchin and Green to be witnesses?

Especially thug Cotchin

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Well it's been called. He's out a week. How's the hamstring Chuckie?

Probably but not sure what we'd argue though. Gonna be tough to get him off.

 

[Chinacats]

Done for a week already. Rightfully so

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Off to the tribunal we go.
Argue force not reportable level and careless conduct.

 

[frggr]

1 week.

Wonder if we'll challenge?

Yep argue insufficient force. Hopefully Schofield comes to the party

Silly from Tom, obviously should have ist thrown him into the fence.

maybe the umpires can play fair

Given what was expected, going to be very hard to argue careless or insufficient force.

Makes next week so much tougher

 

[Grechy]

It's one match or a fine. His record sort of suggests it will be a week (how previous indiscretions were interpreted). There's been plenty of players given less in finals (Cotchin the biggest winner) ... but then again I don't think Christensen likes Hawkins ... so a week it will be.

Rohan in and maybe Taylor moved forward also (Hendo cold be a lucky recipient).

You're taking the piss if you think Cotchins act was worse then Hawkins. Punch behind play compared to an act in play.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Duncan + Hawkins out = Rance so even playing field if he gets rubbed out.

Lmfao Rance is incredibly over rated.
If Hawkins clocked him instead of Schofield, Rance would still be laying there now acting it up.

Arguing insufficient impact would be brutal but do we risk a second week trying it?

We will definitely challenge, there’s no reason not to.

Just a matter of what we’ll argue.

 

[you pick one]

Keep Monday night free Tommy.
