Was a massive knock on Parker! What do you reckon?

roo boys!

MRP will certainly have a look at at but I reckon he should be safe. But you never know nowadays in footy...

NOTHING IN IT. Fair bump. If he goes for that I am never watching footy again.

JamSainter

No way! I hope not, would send a bad message if he got suspended!

jabroni

if mrp let folau play then it would be hyporcritical to ping jmac for that

2 weeks.

If it were Buddy - 4.

TheMailman

Well seeing as it was late, head contact and a raised arm I'd say two weeks, maybe 3

cortez

he will get off i reckon. good fair bump. anyone know what they said about it on gameday? unfortunaly i am unable to watch it.

Torress

unfortunately didn't see the game, nor the bump.
i ended up putting shiel in for Jmac!  :'(  already have 6 and thought 7 GWS is too much. might sound dumb but had darley D9 instead basically!

i hope to hell he gets suspended!!!  if not, i might have to do a trade end of rd 2. but i'll see how my other rooks go first!

2-3 weeks would be sweet for me!

upthemaidens

hopefully no more than a week

Completely agree.  Reckon he'll get 2 weeks, maybe 1 if he is considered to have a good record.  Probably will have no record due to retiring?

Ziplock

he hasnt been reported since 05, and never got games, only fines, so... :P

One thing the MRP never take into consideration is that at the speeds the players run at they can't just do a 90 degree turn or STOP on a dime, They can slow it down to every minute second they want which makes it look worse but judge it on real time and make a decision of 1. McDonald actually braced himself for the impact and turned his head and 2. There was no way he could have avoided the contact wether head high or not (In the case of taller players doing this to shorter ones in the past as well).
If the MRP used a bit more common sense on these issues then we would all probably understand it a bit better, These days though who knows what is going to happen.

TheMailman

He never took his eyes of Parker. He didn't go for the ball, he was there to take out Parker.

What do people do when they bump? They brace themselves, Mcdonald wasn't simply going to run chest first into Parker.

There was head contact, Mcdonald isn't a whole lot taller than Parker

Do people remember the bump on Johnson by Sandilands? Sandi was able to keep his shoulder down and prevent contact with Johnson's head, therefore making it a legal bump. Mcdonald doesn't do that

MRP have a right to look at it and he should be at least 2 weeks IMO
