Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The difference was: one was innocuous and didn't advesly effect the attacking player, while the other was blatant and resulted in the attacking player leaving the field and not able to play for 11 days. If you asked anyone who watches the game to pick which one elicited a sin binning, 100% would pick the latter IMO. The fact that it was the opposite should be baffling but we all know why it isn't. Seyfarth is a known aggitator and easy to punish from a ref's perspective as he is not high profile. Crichton is their team captain and best player in an important position in a top 4 team. Add onto that the colour of the jerseys and unconscious bias that rules our refs the last few years and that should go some way in answering your question. 🙂
I'm curious to see if Chrighton gets sighted, if he does he will get a worse punishment because he wasn't sent off. Imo I think he's looking at 2 - 3 weeks maybe. Because Sayfarth was sent off he might cop 1 - 2. Imo it would have been better if Chrighton got sent off but I could be completely wrong. See what happens.
