Luke Brooks: That Punch

[Bones]

My main issue was that he didn't drop Gagai with the punch, because Gagai is a Grade-A jerk and he deserves a full-fist punch in that stupid face of his.

Within the context of the rules, it was dumb, even if totally provoked. Brooks was lucky that the ref decided to square it up, because he could potentially have been marched alone for a blatant punch, whereas Gagai was more of a cat scratch.

I still have an issue that you can act like a total monkey out there so long as you don't actually throw a punch, which is ridiculous. For example, if Brooks had chased Gagai and tackled him, he would not have been sin-binned, or if he had grabbed his jersey and ragdolled him... but he throws a punch and gets in trouble after after having his eyes scratched and being pinged with a football.

I reckon Gagai was close to being dropped. If you watch I reckon his legs buckle but the guys behind him kind of hold him up.

Hahaha, funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time Mike! The silent majority. Next week they’ll be in there wearing their “bring back the biff t shirts”. Ha ha.Was there a recent rule change to reduce the punishment for punching?

No change. The trouble with punching someone now it’s an automatic sin bin, there can be no discretion by the ref.

I’d wear that t shirt for sure.

I see. So that’s why we will probably see more punching. If it’s a case of he who throws a punch gets binned now. That is, regardless of whether you’re the aggressor or simply defending your right to throw one at someone who throws one at you?
For what it’s worth, I thought Brooksy’s right cross was a fair effort, considering it almost lifted the Rabbitohs player behind him.

Yep, makes no difference who the aggressor is. You throw a punch=sin bin

Stupidity cost us the game ....if he'd used his head after gagai hit him 1st we could have evened the numbers up

This is exactly what I mean ......these blokes don't have an ounce of footy sense about them

Gagai wouldn’t have been binned for just throwing the ball though ..
Gagai getting 10 was a square up from Cummins .
I loved it ....
Bring back the biff ..
So sick of watching grown men swing handbags .

Gagai hits him 1st ...they showed it after both were sinbinned

Meh....
Piss weak D cost us ...

We were all over them Hobbo ...we'd evened the numbers up at that stage and we probably go on and win

OK example ...if that had been someone like Lewis ...he goes down ...OK he looks like a pussy ...but he gets the right result for the team

Footy smarts ...pity you can just snap them up at Aldi

I understand you were a bit of a legend on the footy field Hap ,well done...

BUT Hobbo told me you have more Oscar awards than footy awards....Hollywood here comes Hap...

Happy won best frock at the Oscars ?
Talk about a skirt ?

You know what's funny is when Farah belted Watts in a scrum as a get square and was sent to the sin bin has gone down in folk law..

Farah received a standing ovation from the crowd..

Now..

Can't agree there ,it was a line in the sand moment that we are not going to take crap any more it shows the players are on board with Madge it was good to see the first man in to cover Brooksy back was Harry and young AJ joined the push and shove as well almost knocking Cummins out of his way to support his team mates.

Only one question you need to ask yourself

Did it help us win ...answer no

I’m glad he did & even happier that basically the whole team jumped in to support him.

Wonder if the media will pick up on that cultural aspect?
