Did you see Cunnington's "incident" that cost him a week? The worst MRP decision I've seen for a while.
Absolute shocker.

It doesn't look like much, but when you slow it down it looks like he runs passed the ball and makes contact. I think that's one of the problems of the MRP. They make decisions by watching the footage slowed down. If they watched it at regular speed they would realise, it's a contact sport.

Craap! I thought the MRP might have turned a bit of a corner this year after the Cockatoo decision.
But then this. Another year of Chook Lotto.
Sorry, I think you'll find Westhoff didn't play that game.

Pretty sure he played FF Reg , memory isn't the best but I remember the glare Scarlett gave him early on when he beat him in a contest
Yeah, well I can't remember him being there.

Pretty harsh on a first year player having to contend with a full back at the peak of his powers.

Westhoff did play.....and got an absolute bath from Scarlett...to be fair though, he was just a kid.

It's the nature of the beast , survival of the fittest
Not long before that the Lions beat up our underage mids at KP unmercifully - we rose above that many years later to win 3 flags in 5 years
Most premiership sides have that hard arse element that takes no prisoners and in an even competitition that sometimes makes the difference
Look at Rooke particularly in 2009 but also in 2007 when his first act was to try and take Rodan out - he missed but what did Rodan do after that? In 2009 his fierceness was awesome
Chick did the same for the Coasters
I hope we salute again and when we do maybe it's a combination of Selwoods hardness , Dangers brilliance and a sprinkling of Cockatoo magic
