yes, his only sin was positioning himself maybe a few cm too high so he just clipped the chin (or neck, doesn't matter which as still above the shoulder) but the contact to that was minimal as described before. so for that minor detail he should have got a reprimand and fine, methinks if we are going to appeal next time then we need to go in with some big guns and a better rehearsed story

well if it is "almost none" why bring it up, and that was not motion after the handball if you want to talk momentum then it was all with berry

May did not have momentum, dv8. Watch the video (carefully) on the mfc site. It is taken from behind berry as he approaches may. Berry moves very slightly to his right to deliver his hand ball, May, at that point takes a half step in same direction and props, so from the time of handball till collision he is motionless (ie no momentum). at the last nano second he does lean forward into the collision but his feet don't move forward. The only other movement he makes after the handball is to turn his body sidewards (from being front on) but that is not momentum berry has all the advantage of momentum but fails to turn his body (presumably through lack of awareness)

you forget to mention the garlic, ethan?

i agree. a collision was pretty well unavoidable. there was less than a second (second tops) from handball to collision. may was stationary and front on. berry was in motion. at that point may was vulnerable and had just enough time to turn defensively side on (keeping his elbow in and arm against body). by the laws of physics berry had tghe upperhand because he had motion and may didn't. again at that point berry if he was aware, which he wasn't) could have also turned side ways for a shoulder to shoulder collision where his motion would have been an advantage. at the very last may did push forward as anyone with any brains would have done, because he was standing motionless and he was not to know until the last nano-second that berry did not brace, but by then may was committed to his self protective stance. so no, i don't concede may was guilty of carelessness. i contend the impact was inevitable and one player failed to take a defensive stance. this is not a criticism of berry, just explaining what happened additionally from replays the ball at contact time was about 5m away so "in play" additionally the impact to his chin was at the lower end. most of the impact was taken on the chest. to emphasise that check berry as he goes from vertical to on his back on the ground. At all times his head stays in straight line with his torso i.e. there was no backwards whiplash of his head with respect to his body/spine so, collision realistically inevitable, not careless and impact to head low. I don't tink the defence did a very thorough job.

you forgot the bit about it not being a good look - lol but apparently mummies round arm to the head wasn't......go figure

your "I❤️love the MRP" poster and lapel button are in the mail........

I've just rewatched this 10 times. You need to watch it especially in real-time, not slo-mo. there really is not much in this, as shirt fronts go. under the rules the mrp are supposed to operate on, i can't agree that the contact can be graded as medium given there was no injury outcome if the mrp is operating under new rules for contact grading they need to explain so but so far they haven't. this is not a safe nor consistent ruling.........but not surprising based on the mrp's history of inconsistency we got the rough end of the pineapple.... again

jaisus, i think i woke up this morning in bizarroworld. tell me this is not real

well two games of jlt and they have shown plenty of inconsistency, so good luck with your rest of season argument

so who do we appeal the appeal to?

but christian never claimed it was "off the ball"

correct.......but he is not guilty of medium impact........in which case he will be fined but not suspended

yes, it's the banana's red-headed step-sister

In summing up, it’s the constitution, it’s Mabo, it’s justice, it’s law, it’s the vibe

the risk i think is coffing up $10k for appeal

that's his other fantasy - pauline h.....

it really boils down to impact to head being judged as medium before he hit the ground (not impact to chest/shoulder) it wasn't, he gets downgraded to a fine.....qed

time to lawyer up.......but not richter, please

i blame jack watts and hwfua

Frees: Doggies 40 Aints 14 Umpiring is going to the dogs (no pun intended)......are you watching gil?

i think he meant the two losses by the dees earlier on

and very eloquently put

too many interrupted pre seasons?
