Unlucky for Newmo, thought he did alright on the weekend.

What the flower? Not a lot to go by...

[Jroo]

Yeah, can't really see much, so hard to tell.
Bad news about Newy, but he hasn't done a lot this year, borderline best 22. At least Miles or a kid will get a chance.

I called it straight away while I was watching. I'm like "he's gone for a month"... just the way he pulled up so abruptly and could barely move. The grimace said a lot too, it was like he knew it as well.

Striking.

- Intentional conduct
- Low impact
- High contact

Two match sanction.
One match sanction due to good record.



That's pretty lame...

Hmm not sure about that. I guess it was a bit of a striking action but it was more on the collarbone than anything, not sure it should be graded as "high impact" ::)

It's graded as low impact, but high contact.

Would have got most players in the chest, but Stokes is shorter so it got his neck/chin area (paused it).

Honestly think Lids is probably unlucky here.

Oops I meant high contact

[Nige]

Oops I meant high contact

Haha, thought so.

At least Stokes got picked up as well.

Good, Deledio to challenge at Tribunal.
