Reserve Grader
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when a player gets sent off, there was a different procedure I thought.
Something along the lines of they go straight to the judiciary without an option for an early guilty plea, or that grading didn't apply, or that the MRC didn't have the option not to charge them.
I could have sworn it was that a grading does not apply if the player is sent off (i.e the MRC can suspend for as long as they want).
My memory is hazy on it, but there was a difference.
Anyway it was a nasty deliberate high shot. Someone made comment to that it looked like Prior was trying to lift the headgear with his other hand. Hard to tell from the angles supplied, but if he did, that's even worse.
Given TRex got 12 weeks (imho harsh for such a tackle), you'd a assume that Prior would get 15 as it was far more dangerous in my mind.
Prediction though is he'll get 8-9 weeks.
Do players still get paid during a suspension period? If so it's hardly a punishment really.
