Cox has been elbowing his opponent in the guts just before the contest for his whole career. How many times have you seen him win tap outs while his opponent is cramping in the background. He gets away with it because they never call ruck infringements so early in a ruck contest.
Tonight it was his turn. He finally got what he deserved. I think you will find that if Cox does actually play another game that he will not be elbowing his opponent in the guts anymore. That is the point. Cox kept doing it because everyone let him. Someone should have got him earlier.
Good on Vickery for chanelling his inner Jack Dyer and putting an end to Cox's dirty ruck tactics.
The retaliator unfortunately always gets the punishment- 5 weeks
