[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 933584, member: 55747"] Wow. 13 weeks. How did we end up in a situation where a player knowingly stomping an opponent on his back (Paul Lasike, Arg XV vs USA) gets a 1-week suspension and a guy clearing his nose on an opponents face gets 13 weeks? I'm not saying the cheetahs guy doesn't deserve punishment, course he does, but we cant have personal hygiene as a priority above physical integrity (im exaggerating, i know). A guy who willingly and knowingly does something that could end up in serious injury gets 1 week. There's got to be some congruence between the seriousness of the foul and the penalty. This is just madness. [/QUOTE]
