General Giant before you go off - you do realise the Giants were actually successful in their appeal in some way:
The Giants - while unsuccessful in having Greene’s ‘careless’ conduct charge thrown out - successfully argued ‘high’ impact down to ‘medium’ for the high fend off on Patrick Dangerfield, reducing the sanction to one match.
So based on the above, how could anyone argue that the impact wasn't at least medium based on the below?
Dangerfield was substituted out of the match and spent Friday night in hospital, before scans on Saturday morning revealed bruising to his larynx but no fracture. He is resting up at home after being discharged from hospital, with his availability for next week's game still unknown.
-Subbed off, spends a night in hospital, bruised throat and might not play next week. There's no way in hell that is "low impact"....
So even though players such as Buddy, Dangerfield etc got off for worse if not the exact same thing, we should be happy he got 1 week? Lol fmd.
