Welsby's was a reckless shoulder to the head with force that bust his nose. If the MRP are consistent then it is a banker ban.

Newman confirmed ruled out next week and the GF. He has undergone surgery on his hamstring.

Newman definitely won’t be playing - infact he won’t be playing for 6 months, had surgery on the hamstring injury

Contact with the floor? Carried from a previous tackle that burst on his head whipping back? Head collision? Probably 10 more if anyone could be bothered to continue.

The day we use outcomes as a reason to ban we’re done. No angle showed any head contact from Welsby despite the result of the bust nose.

Tend to agree. I'm a big fan of Knowles, but that was really dangerous play - far more so than Bateman's red last night - and it should be punished. As for the rest don't really see any bans, but then again some ridiculous stuff has been handed out this season.

That’s terrible news for Newman, and extremely concerning for his long term future in the game.
Is it the same hamstring as previous op?

I don’t think Welsby should be banned either but weve (and other teams) had players banned for less this year

I really dont know where you think you see any head contact in that.

No, other leg.

His shoulder hits his head.

Don’t worry he won’t get a ban.
