For.it to be a citing the citing comissioner has to belive it was a red card offence.I wonder what the citing is about if there is NO 'retroactive bans'...

Well it would be unfair if Naholo is out this week due to a brain injury whilst SOB gets to carry on playing.There are conflicting reports on Nahalos concussion plus I don't believe an injury on the play should be a factor into banning players. As the nature of a contact sport will be players get injured. You mitigate those factors as much as possible and punish those who don't work to mitigate it. You don't punish players for trying to compete within the realms of the laws and something unfortunate happens.
This all said I'm not going to throw a wobbly if SOB does get banned.
Well I don't know what this about but it does say 'cited'.For.it to be a citing the citing comissioner has to belive it was a red card offence.
Fairness has nothing to do with it players break others limbs in games and the play doesn't warrant a Red card and they don't get banned.Well it would be unfair if Naholo is out this week due to a brain injury whilst SOB gets to carry on playing.
Yup so the citing commissioner says it should of been a Red card. SOB is contesting that right now....I fail to see your point?Well I don't know what this about but it does say 'cited'.

Limbs? ankles, knees...leg low tackle? lets not get away from our discussion in regards to both players making contact with the head resulting in brain injury.Fairness has nothing to do with it players break others limbs in games and the play doesn't warrant a Red card and they don't get banned.
My point is simple, the media suggests SOB has been cited lol. Its plain reading.Yup so the citing commissioner says it should of been a Red card. SOB is contesting that right now....I fail to see your point?
Im just saying the media reports has said that O'Brien has been cited. Multiple reports are saying that he's been cited.I have literally no idea what you on about....
That, to me, sounds like you didn't know O'Brien was cited. Read your post again to see how I could think that. Multiple reports below say he's?...you guessed it cited!For.it to be a citing the citing comissioner has to belive it was a red card offence.
Ok Jerome GarcesBottom line if Sean's incident was reviewed in-game it would be a yellow card for unintentional contact to the head. Never a red in any situation.
I did know he'd been cited....I have zero idea what your point is...Im just saying the media reports has said that O'Brien has been cited. Multiple reports are saying that he's been cited.

LOL ok...just look at your post underneath and you can understand how one would think that you didn't know he was cited.I did know he'd been cited....I have zero idea what your point is...
My point is simple, the media reported he was being cited. Thats it! Easy as.For.it to be a citing the citing comissioner has to belive it was a red card offence.
You're an idiot I was explaining why you can't retroactively give someone a citing for a YC offence...read the thread of the posts your are quoting...LOL ok...just look at your post underneath and you can understand how one would think that you didn't know he was cited.

I agree to some extent in that the game is becoming soft. This has come about from the All Black end of year tour last year where off the top of the list, Sam Canes tackle on an Irish player which resulted in a review of the head high tackle laws.Surely you New Zealander's don't rate this as ban worthy? I know everyone's annoyed with the red card yesterday but come on, if SOB is banned for something like this then we really are treading on egg shells in Union are we not?
