Conca cops 2 weeks from the MRP [updated]

[one-eyed]

The Tigers' form would have pleased Hardwick but he would have seen red when Reece Conca had one of the brain fades of the season.

After Devon Smith pulled his jumper over his head, Conca chased the young Giant to the interchange gate and threw a forearm to the back of his head.

Conca was reported as Smith gathered his thoughts on the bench.

That he is a weak as pee lunatic ranga that deserves multiple weeks suspension for being a complete moron would be my initial guess.

The act was disgusting and he should be suspended accordingly. Worse than Vickery's effort IMO.

But will prob get 2-3???

Insufficient force

gutless act from an average footballer

Stupid play 2 weeks

I think we are getting a little hysterical about this. It was a nudge to the shoulder. It may have slipped upwards a little bit but I can't see in the video how it actually got him high or above the shoulders. Smith instantaneously grabbed his ear to try and milk a free, he didn't seem to actually connect with his ear.
About whether it was a dog act, I don't think so, Smith whacked him and ran away, turning around doesn't mean you aren't going to get one back.
Where Conca got it wrong was the timing, he needs to learn to take his whack and wait, it's funny how quickly the chance to get them back can present itself, even better if you can make it look legal like crunching your knee into their ribs in a marking contest.

2 weeks with an early plea reduced to 1 week

Yep I didn't like how he retaliated, should have waited and bided his time

Couldn't agree more but given how Dimma stood by Ty last week and it seemed that at least from Dimma's point of view we as a club were unrepentant despite Ty apologising to Cox, you'll find that Reece will have at least a two week holiday enforced on him.

Gonna miss him next week against the Peptides.

The MRP will probably wimp it again and send the case straight to the Tribunal  .

If you went on the points system ....
* Intentional contact (off the ball as well).
* High contact.
* Medium impact (if the Giants medical report is all clear then this could be reduced to 'low' impact)

That's 3-4 weeks; down to 2-3 with an early plea.

Dumb, ill=disciplined act from a dumb, ill-disciplined footballer, however his biggest crime is that he has now opened the door for Grigg to return.

  well said. Got him high between the shoulder lower neck not the head. He also made contact with the GPS in the jumper...you clearly see the trainer adjust it when he was off the ground. Media will blow this up into something no doubt.

I don't care if it was a dog act.

Maybe I'm just a dog too.

But I'd rather see a dog act than nothing.

Not like the kid was properly hurt FFS. Untwist all your panties. It was a stuffing nudge.

[Gigantor]

whatever it was ..it was certainly reckless......At least Ty produced the full symphony with his hit

[Rampstar]

Not Guilty should have wacked the prick harder IMHO.
