No doubt they'll go to the tribunal tomorrow night

Had a gut feeling he'd go for it. Appeal on the cards im thinking.

Just a silly thing to do by him, there wasn't a whole lot in it but was always going to come under scrutiny

Probably take to the courts aswell if no good at the tribunal

So Fyfe got 2 weeks for the same thing, and he only got 1 because all the loading/carry over points

LOL MRP

What is the likelihood of a tougher sentence after appeal? Would this be a consideration, or is it worth running the gauntlet?

he gets 1 week even if he appeals and loses, so nothing to lose by going for it.

With his total points carried over and the new ones added it works out that appealing it and loosing wont incur any more weeks being added so he's only risking the one week.

I know they dont use precedent but if they let Boomer off Freo will scream blue murder.

Doesnt matter how many cases of beer Boomer buys Jelwood or what Jelwood says

This, plus they said like 4weeks (ish) ago that fyfe would get the same result if it happened again that week

I hope he gets off so that all the north fans cant complain when they get spanked on Friday

Ps. I think he deserved to go, jumped into selwood, off the ball and made high contact enough that blood was drawn and selwood had to come from the field.

Consistency isnt the MRP's strong suit.
