MRP / Trib. Webster KO's Simpkin - Update 7 week penalty

[tangolikelama]

How many weeks? Leaves the ground and shoulder to the temple. 4-6 weeks at least?

 

[Bald]

That’s about as poor as you’ll see from a bump, I’d be asking for 6 if I were the AFL.

 

[SSSSSS]

That was horrible.

Simpkin has had a history of concussions too. Hope he's alright but you'd think he'd miss round 1 at a minimum.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Has to be 6+. Everything they are trying to eliminate and miles worse than SPP.

Horrible bump.

 

[Jimmybob]

That needs an absolute minimum 5 weeks. That's one of the stupidest decisions I've seen in the last few years, especially being preseason. Hope Simpkin is okay and is good to go in a couple weeks.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

6 weeks, cut and dry.

What an idiot.

 

[Pablito]

Yep 4 minimum, could be 5-6.

Dummy behaviour

 

[Elixuh]

If salt and pepper was 4 weeks because another Port player slung a player into him, then this is 6-8 weeks. Was malicious. What a grub.

 

[azyboy]

Throw back to the old days. Jumped, forceful contact to head. I’d imagine 6. Complete brain fade.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Is this table still a thing?



Intentional, high contact, high impact, three games.

If impact is deemed severe, then 4+ and off to the tribunal.

Very silly thing to do by Jimmy and because he is not in the boys club, the commentators are piling on him already.

 

[banzai]

Hes going to get 6 I think. It's clearly a fair bit worse than SPPs.

 

[Chadwiko]

Six weeks. Without doubt.

Happened right in front of me at RSEA and Jy was out before he hit the ground. Made an awful noise.

Absolute weak act.

 

[Magma]

has to be more than spp. spectacularly stupid.

 

[Bald]

Powell Peppers had enough shades of grey to allow for a four week suspension.

This is blatant and almost could be graded intentional. Piss poor.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

6+ can barely believe what I just saw. Absolute dead s**t

 

[Miluxx]

It'll start at 6. Should be way more. Most ridiculous thing you can see after all the attention surrounding head knocks.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Powell Peppers had enough shades of grey to allow for a four week suspension.

This is blatant and almost could be graded intentional. Piss poor.

Yep, SPP's opponent got spun in a tackle and it was a split second decision. Webster just straight lines him up and launched into his chin.

 

[Scythe94]

Yeah, that was horrendous. Gonna be missing for a long time.

 

[Diverbelow]

Much worse than SPP, AFL will be ruthless. minimum 6 weeks.

 

[Scythe94]

Gets worse the more you look at it

 

[TheWeapon]

He's absolutely f*****. In a practice match, try hard jumps off the ground unprovoked and smashes his head in. 6-8 and shouldn't be allowed to walk off the ground by North if they want to stand for something

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Powell Peppers had enough shades of grey to allow for a four week suspension.

This is blatant and almost could be graded intentional. Piss poor.

Yep. PP could at least say Rioli's action (spinning the player in the tackle) contributed to the contact and he mucked it up. Still worth four weeks. I think 7-8 isn't out of the equation.

 

[djspank]

8 has a nice ring to it

 

[STPer18]

Twice as bad as Powell-Pepper's.

 

[Jimmybob]

The stupidity* of this hit reminded me of Milburn's hit on Silvagni years ago.

*To reitterate, not the hit itself but the dumb, brainless part
