MRP / Trib. Webster KO's Simpkin - Update 7 week penalty

[Elixuh]

I feel that 6 weeks doesn’t send a strong enough message to the players and it should be 8. No one should ever be doing what Webster just did.

Pepper got 4 with a player being spun into him. Pepper also stayed low. Should've gotten off. Two at absolute most.
So going by all that.. this bloke should get 3 seasons!

I know it’s silly to make comparisons but what was the last one like this?

Kozzy pickett maybe last year.

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.

Surprised no fans jumped over the fence, tbh.

Mostly saints fans in this pocket.

Pickett's was bad, but this is pretty different. Pickett hit him from the front and in the chest/shoulder, Webster hit him directly in the head from the side.

He was pretty lucky Baz wasn't concussed.

 

[tribey]

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.

Ding ding ding.

4 or less will be raise a lot of questions beyond just the action.

 

[HTPunter]

He's absolutely f*****. In a practice match, try hard jumps off the ground unprovoked and smashes his head in. 6-8 and shouldn't be allowed to walk off the ground by North if they want to stand for something

Getting suspended in retaliation proves nothing and doesn’t help the team. I get it’s the emotive reaction but it is pre season, I hope the players don’t weaken our team further by doing something dumb.

Webster can GAGF though, thought it was all pretty funny in the tussle afterwards.

 

[HTPunter]

SPP 4 weeks.

This was “later” and he left the ground.

That has to add 2 weeks.

I think 6 weeks because it’s really as bad as a punch in terms of expected outcome (what else can happen when you jump and bump a player other than them being hurt?).

If the AFL gives him 4 Port should riot.

I think the actions very similar. But the outcome was abit different. I do agree pickett hit them squarely and unfortunately went a touch high. Where this one was just straight high.

Don't get me wrong, not defending Pickett, it was very ordinary. Just think this hit is in its own tier.

Nah afl has set the standard. This won’t be 4 or less.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Weak ****ing campaigner. SSP didn't show care but this was just a dog act on an unsuspecting player that takes hard shits than Nicky Webster.

 

[Tugga27]

That was horrible.

Simpkin has had a history of concussions too. Hope he's alright but you'd think he'd miss round 1 at a minimum.

One week at a minimum?
Really?

 

[Bulldogs85]

Webster should get 6+ weeks that was just a dog act

 

[Liam Boy]

Jy got concussed so many times last year a lot of us were worried he might have to retire. This could genuinely end his career.

 

[Engimal v3]

Disappointing to see Saints fans at the ground booing Simpkin.

 

[Tugga27]

Pepper got 4 with a player being spun into him. Pepper also stayed low. Should've gotten off. Two at absolute most.
So going by all that.. this bloke should get 3 seasons!

Yet your club asked for 3..........

 

[MisterB]

In today's game, nothing less than a dog act. No intention to do anything else but hit Simpkin in the head. Way after the ball had been disposed. Should be an 8 week holiday, but will probably only get 6.

 

[Scythe94]

One week at a minimum?
Really?

Think they were talking about Simpkin.

 

[JUSTWORK]

How many weeks? Leaves the ground and shoulder to the temple. 4-6 weeks at least?

SPP got 4, that's the base line.
That makes this 8 Minimum.
