Yeh, this one stinks.
We've copped plenty of deserved bans this season for stupid indiscipline.
Bentley & Tetevano have (quite rightly) been given longer bans because of a poor disciplinary record.
Hopefully, based on the last few weeks, this has had the desired effect and they have learned.
We've also made stupid appeals - Newman was a deserved ban and extension on appeal.
But this one is ridiculous.
Martin is not a dirty player.
It's an accidental collision.
Thats where the MRP are getting it wrong.
There's a huge difference between intent and accidental.
