So how many weeks did the guy get that made forceful front on contact to Sandi while he had his head over the ball?

How Maxwell got off his charge is beyond me. I guess the opponent didn't get hurt so the bump is fair.....Stupid logic. I said this another thread and I will say it here. The responsibility is not on the bumper, it should be on the victim because he should know what is going on around him. When Byron Pickett played, players were looking to see where he was at all times before they put their head over the ball.

The Sandilands incident wasn't even looked at, which is an utter joke. That was easily a 3-4 week offense against anybody else in the league. I'm getting heartily sick of this bullshit interpretation that the rules designed to protect players don't really apply to Sandi because he's big enough to look after himself. You just have to watch how he gets scragged in marking contests week after week with little protection.
