Powell and Fash punishment

[Exiled Wiganer]

6 sounds like par for the course, but 8 would not have been harsh. Powell is the dirtiest player at the club, no question. A grub.

I think most of us probably don't mind a grub or a player thats a little bit dirty but dangerous is another matter.

Yea.I bothered my backside to remind myself why that was.

It was the recollection of the injury sustained by Alex McKinnon after a similar assault/tackle.

Trumped a cheap laugh,apparently.

His life changing injury seems to have evaded,and avoided,the disciplinary panel and their judgement. 

Not so.

I can understand why he didn't get the maximum. There was a lot to hate about it, but the head was slightly to the side rather than directly under the chest. 

There were enough nasty elements to stop it being bottom end, but enough of a mitigant to hold it back from the top end. 6 seems OK to me.

Powell got a 6 game ban, Fash no punishment. 

I guess the video of Gnash eating his arm wasn’t quite convincing enough for the panel, fair enough

Remind me of the Bill Hick's routine about the Rodney King beatings....

6 games for Powell is a disgrace, should have got 10 like Pryce. No problem with Fash getting off totally inconclusive evidence.
