YTF does it have to be in Margaret River?

[RumourMonger]

I think people's imaginations are starting to get the better of them. Last evening I spoke to some eye witnesses from Rocky (Rocky guys were with the SE7ENS Ambassadors and standing watching) who were very clear that this is what occurred:

Whistle blew for an infringement close to touch.

Paly Player A had his hair pulled from behind by HE Player A.

Paly Player A turned and threw the ball at HE Player A.

HE Player A swung a punch at Paly Player A and missed.

Players from both sides (inc Paly Player B) rushed in to calm things down (no punches thrown).

HE Player B ran in from a distance and threw two haymaker punches to the back of Paly Player B's head, the 2nd punch putting him out cold and he fell to the ground motionless.

A bit more pushing and shoving.

After about 5 seconds HE Player C (the Cott guy?) ran through the melee, turned and took a big swing at Paly Player B's head as he lay on the ground out cold.

No signs of remorse from the two thugs and were smiling as they surveyed the damage.

Referee regained control and the teams were separated.

Referee called HE Player B and HE Player C over and showed them a red card each.

Cheers for being so in depth RM - Sounds quite consistent to what’s been mentioned throughout this thread so far and Pretty much what I heard at the bar down at Margs as well – Ball thrown in face , punches, Paly out cold, most players trying to calm the sit’ and another punch or punches to out cold Paly player by H.E. followed by the 2x red card salute.

Now thanks to these pieces of sh1te there's several mums and dads who were probably watching thinking this game isn't for my kids, @#$%*# know thanks!!!

What of the Paly player - how is he??

The other player was from Cott. And from what I've heard, from people that were actually there, as opposed to someone who knows someone whose brother was driving past when the fight occurred, was that the injured Paly player was also throwing punches. Not justifying what happened, but perhaps it may be pertinent to wait until an objective version of events is out there before passing judgement.

Exactly what I heard too. Perhaps we should now wait for the judiciary to do its work.

This is why i don't participate in pre season games any more - too many ring in's, no official paperwork and when you get injured by someone who has no affiliation to the club you are left on your own... not much fun
