Hawkins had a long period of throwing jumper punches before he was finally pinged.
This was insufficient force. Despite the jaw wobbling.

Stratton had a strong jaw. Someone with a glass jaw probably drops to the ground.
Similar to the time he punched Grant Birchall square on the jaw a few years ago near the boundary one match. I was only sitting 4/5 rows back, it rocked Birchalls head back and he had bit of a stagger on but before he could remonstrate about 2 or 3 Hawks tackled Hawkins to the ground - amazingly no report came of it...?
