That needs an absolute minimum 5 weeks. That's one of the stupidest decisions I've seen in the last few years, especially being preseason. Hope Simpkin is okay and is good to go in a couple weeks.
 
If salt and pepper was 4 weeks because another Port player slung a player into him, then this is 6-8 weeks. Was malicious. What a grub.
 
Six weeks. Without doubt.

Happened right in front of me at RSEA and Jy was out before he hit the ground. Made an awful noise.

Absolute weak act.

Powell Peppers had enough shades of grey to allow for a four week suspension.

This is blatant and almost could be graded intentional. Piss poor.
Yep, SPP's opponent got spun in a tackle and it was a split second decision. Webster just straight lines him up and launched into his chin.

Yep. PP could at least say Rioli's action (spinning the player in the tackle) contributed to the contact and he mucked it up. Still worth four weeks. I think 7-8 isn't out of the equation.
 
The stupidity* of this hit reminded me of Milburn's hit on Silvagni years ago.

*To reitterate, not the hit itself but the dumb, brainless part
