If they want to draw a line in the sand, fair enough, but the penalty should be split bteween the two others who pinned his arms in the wrestle and the bloke who lifted. Plus a much heavier penalty to the people who coach the PTB wrestling tactics.
    I had no idea such a policy existed either. The judiciary has lost the plot with this one but it was to be expected unfortunately.

    I guess the witch hunt is over.

    Will a similar tackle in future attract a 7 week ban? I bet it doesn't.

    Well seeing as the outcome was taken account of - let's bloody hope not. Personally, I think that tackle can be sheeted home to the tweaking of the PTB rules which outlawed the cannon ball tackle which can be sheeted home to the coaches introducing wrestling to slow the PTB which can be sheeted home to the coaches needing a strategy to get the defensive structure set from when the 5m rule was changed to the 10m tule to make the game "more attractive". Phew!

    In other words; careful what you wish for. Plus if it's not broke, don't fix it.
