Dragons centre Jack Bird is facing two-week suspension following a review of Friday night's match.
Bird was handed a contrary conduct charge after an incident involving Manly's Moses Suli but can reduce the ban to one week with an early guilty plea.

I saw the stomp and I could be wrong but I don't think that there was one word about it from the FOX Commentary Team when it happened.

Grubby. He had about 3 cracks at him in one tackle. The "stomp" was pretty soft and was probably the lesser of the swinging arm, the cheap shoulder to the head and the attempted knee. You could ping him for any one of those efforts

Bird deserves a few weeks off for his carry on. But what bothered me most about this is that I thought it might fire the team up. We were only down 6-0 at the time. But, despite the possession and field possession, our attack was woeful and we let them off the hook. Next thing you know, they make a simple break and it's 12-0. And every time we had an opportunity or a period of pressure, it resulted in the same thing: we buggered it up and almost immediately gave up an easy try. So frustrating to watch.

one week for a deliberate attempt to injure a player ... not reckless or careless ... deliberate ... should be an automatic 10 weeks ...

Yep, the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Miss one game for a deliberate stomp, what a joke!
