View Full Version : What About Grant's Trip?
If Harris got a week for tripping why didn't the player (was it McKernan?) who tripped Chris get pinged as well? :(
I remember that too, I think it was with the hand.

A suspension would just about finish McKernan at the Roos.

It wouldn't have because of his contract. Didn't see it so can't comment.

I think it was Sav Rocca who tripped Grant with the hand.
The umpire didn't see it but if he had would have only paid Grant the free kick.
Apparently tripping with the hand is not reportable.
Harris' action was more of a reflex, but unfortunately he's going to have to be very careful in the future because he's been up to the Tribunal three times this year already.

Didn't Dustin Fletcher get reported earlier in the season for hand tripping?

He might have.
Rocca was lucky not to be reported and from now on Harris will be watched like a hawk,unfortunately because he's been to the tribunal three times in one year.
He will be a great player and hopefully will develop some "smarts".

Unfortunately for Brian, him going up will now be a case of him being B Harris rather than for the actual offence. They will pounce on him at every opportunity.
