Scott and Longmire both rightly condemning Clarko for his narcisstic behaviour in respect to his approach to Gill. His coaching successes really have given him an enormous ego, and the league have fuelled it through pandering to him and his suggestions.

But isn't Scott one of the biggest whingers about the umps?

Parker got off...

So you can go for the ball and accidently collect people high. Amazing consistency with the grey and Douglas cases.
in isolation the Parker one is complete common sense. In the context of the inconsistency of the tribunal it also fits right in

I disagree with your first point. If Impey had been on his feet going for the ball and then ducked down to it then contact should be ruled accidental. But he was already down, contact was reckless and avoidable.

happy to disagree. For me it was a genuine contest for the ball and Parker's technique was fine. Impey left himself vulnerable by leading with the head. I wouldn't have lost any sleep if Parker was given a game - just as I didn't care that NicNat got a game the week before as I am sick of our players getting stitched up and others getting away with similar

Anyone see Campbell Brown was asked about Joel Wilkinson in Talking Footy?

Had a guilty look on his face. I think we can safely assume he was one of the instigators. He was sacked from the Suns for punching Steven May after all...

I was thinking the same thing. I have to admit to having a chuckle at the clip they showed of Joel's press conference - definitely channeling Heritier O'Lumumba so he was, to be sure.

I wonder if Joel sticks his knife in his toast when getting it out of the toaster as a fcuk “you to the rest of the world”
