Play Nice Was that Gaffs last game for WC?

Dr Withers says a specialist has indicated Brayshaw's teeth will likely not be viable, saying they have lost their nerve supply. Brayshaw may now require "extensive dental work" and "possible implants".

Dr Withers says Brayshaw suffered a horizontal fracture through his jaw. He says Brayshaw's teeth were hinged backwards "a couple of centimetres into his mouth".

Damn, hell of a punch

 

[Sir_Loin]

Of course he has. No other option.

The best they can do is mitigate the suspension down.

Shoots down any theory about it not being intentional ay

Gaff will say

'Was targeted all day'.

'He's a mate and I in no way intended for the strike to hit high or that hard. Brayshaws forward motion and crouched stance led to what was supposed to be a chest punch turn into a left hook to his face. That in no way condones what I did, but it is relevant that I was not trying to strike him high'

'Feel awful for what happened, and its totally out of character for me. I am remorseful and my early plea of guilty reflects this'

That can't end well...

Jesus. No way I would have taken that angle.

Who am I to question a Silk though?

 

[bmaurizio]

Quickly deliberate and penalise the offender , get it over and done with what a waste of time and money.

'Accidental' punch according to some.

No the strike was clearly intentional. You cant argue that.

Where he intended to hit him (high, chest, etc) , and the damage he intended to cause/ did cause (low, medium severe etc) is not relevant to the element of 'intent' for the strike. Where the punch landed, and what damage it caused is only relevant to the other two elements of the offence.

It may be relevant in mitigation though.

"Just" a punch to others. Not all WCE supporters either which just raises more questions.

 

[beema limapep]

seeing as though Gaff is thel real victim, how many weeks will they give Brayshaw

ill bet he fake cries

There wont be any mitigation for anything other than his record

Most likely Julie Bishop, assuming she's still their no. 1 ticket holder.

Maybe her non-partner can be a special witness as well.

I think it's certainly relevant as to mitigation.

Record alone doesnt set the penalty.

Run up and clock someone high in the huddle for example. It wont matter how good your prior record is in that case. The entire context needs to be taken into account.

Hard to gauge when you are not there and hearing the evidence. Perhaps the doctor gave evidence in such a way to suggest the jaw was displaced in addition to the teeth (which I understand it wasn't). Need to clear it up for the Tribunal while you still have the witness in the box.

True. Good point.

Id be a bit careful not to give the impression that the damage 'wasnt that bad' though. That wouldn't end well.

 

[DaveLister]

have a load of the west coast supporters now mad that "his teeth were caved in and it took some bone with it and they've called it a broken jaw?!?! hysterics"
