MRP / Trib. King Fine

[nick1408]

I may be missing something here - what was the incident King got fined for? Surely not the one that Waite got the reprimand for? If so, will the club appeal?

 

[theflea]

He got fined for that kick to the chest.

Really !!!??? I'm all for stamping out the behind the scenes hits etc But the only way Kingy could have been more gentle would be if he hugged and kissed him on the cheek and even then it would be a very close call

 

[Roachy8]

What did Waite get when he back-heeled McGuane in the ghoolies a few seasons ago?

 

[TJTIGER]

I guess Kingy got off for putting his arm around their captain and tapping him on the chest. Be thankful we dodged a bullet on that one........

 

[telsor]

He got done for being in an incident that was being looked at for the other guy.

But having seen him make contact with the foot, they had to 'do' him....even though the same thing probably happens when players are held down in almost every match.

 

[the push up king]

Shall we call this the "Toby Mitchell" kick fine??

 

[tugga]

I reckon he was lucky actually. Whether you like or not, he lashed out with his foot. That's not on. Yes, the contact was minimal, but the intent and the look was not good.

I'd be spewing if I was King, I'd happily pay $900 to kick Waite on the chin, wasted his money with that kick

1 week and mc guane got 3 (i think )

Yeah, but then he would have been for kicking rather than misconduct and copped weeks. The MRP is playing politics here...they saw contact with the foot, so couldn't let it go, but knew that if they went hard on that, they'd have to do it all the time when players are held down and struggle to get free and make contact. Not wanting to open that can of worms, they went as soft as they could.

Any punishment would have been worth it though

Seriously, boys, this was a fair cop.

Kingy kicked at an opposing player with the sole of his boot --sure he didn't make contact with the face (although Waite seems not to have noticed this ) but there is a possibility he might have, and that makes the action somewhat reckless.

Arguing that he didn't make serious contact and all that is all fair and proper, but realize that this is precisely the reason he got of with such a minor penalty.

I think the "punishment" (and it wasn't much of a punishment) pretty much fit the crime.

It might be a fair cop, but what grates is that it's an inconsistent cop.

I'd be more upset if I was Nat Fyfe.

The main thing is that Waite is now on record as a drama queen. He has so much potential for a career after footy on Home & Away.

For rubbing his nuts on Waite's heel?

Didn't even know he'd been crook!

Didn't Rance get the 3 for taking him out behind play?

Rancey

Don't think he'll ever realise that potential and be nothing more than a bit part role in the show.

It is? I haven't seen anyone else kick a vagina on a footy field before, so hard to compare.

That was my recollection. And also I thought Waite got off/not cited for the back kick?

 

[Ned_Flanders]

No issue with the fine, he did ty to kick him

 

[NUFC Tiger]

King probably deserved it but was definitely a bit unlucky his incident was caught on camera.

At the game, I saw a few incidents like that during stoppages - just part of the game (the niggle).

I love how Waite got off for his malicious donkey kick on McGuane but got reprimanded for his terrible acting. Not sure if he is closer to winning the rising star or winning an oscar - either seem a bit far out of his reach given his limited talents.
