Lovett-Murray

[Moi]

How many weeks?
6 for me - best punch for a long time 

[mightytiges]

To us it was the first punch that has connected in a long long time but to the tribunal it will be classed as intentional, high contact and behind the play. Yep at least 5 weeks. I can't remember a hit like that since Dale Kickett swung at a few Eagles in a WA derby a few years ago in that all in brawl.

The Carr brothers sure left Lovett-Murray alone after that .

I don't advocate violence  but they were both having a go at each other.
Bet he didn't expect that one

Agree lol
Not mongrel hits like Leigh Matthews, but let the boys who want to fight each other have a go

I liked how in the highlights of the State of Origin they showed the one from 1995 where all the players just started punching on. Haha that was fun, why can't footy be like that?

Kerr's "hit' on Mitchell was worse but he will get fewer weeks than Lovett-Murray. Below the belt literally  .

[mightytiges]

3 weeks for Lovett-Murray and 2 for Kerr.

That's a joke - both were pretty ordinary incidents

Apparently Worsfold has said the Eagles will contest the Kerr charge using the "Barry Hall" defence and saying Kerr hit Mitchell in the crown jewels by accident. They're kidding right! ???

Kerr just got 1 week. They said his punch wasn't intentional ... Che!  ???

Maybe he was trying to go the grope, but ah, went in a little to hard?
