I just hate reactionary decisions...a guy gets knocked out (bad look for the game)...so lets make an example of the player (and lets face it that player could be anyone).
They were waiting for a should charge to be mistimed (this wasn't the case but it will do) and lets throw the kitchen sink at that player and show everyone that "we mean business".
Fuelled by an arrogant part of the media.
Just a tad angry at present, but I'll get over it!!
As I wrote previously Mark, they had an opportunity last year to "mean business" but went soft on Inglis ( which was as ugly as you can get).
They've taken a wait and see approach thus far as no one got hurt.
The media say it's not a good look but all the write ups and images have been of exactly that, so they perpetuate it.
Unfortunately Richie will be the example.
