Very cowardly, I doubt he would have done it to Manuokafoa.'"


From the deliberation, calculation and shape of his action he would have ben daft enough to do it anyone! Though I do think he had already targeted Jeffries prior to the tackle.
What amazes me is that he took the action he did in front of 8 Sky cameras which he could never hope to hide from.
Nuff said about his dodgy state of mind.

I think it is less conclusive of the 'intent' by Sammut given the circumstances I highlighted. The lack of contact also sets the incidents apart. Both fouls, but hardly comparable and certainly not deserving of the same punishment in my opinion.

Sorry to disagree but I think it will be adjudged as similar offence as Bridge and that we will have to do without Sammutt next week. Hope I'm wrong

On watching again this morning I was wrong about that. There was contact. Still not worth more than one week though.

My view on the incident. Sammut deliberately hit his forearm/elbow in Hall's face. 1 game ban.

All the Bulls have to do is plead guilty, Sammut doesn't have a hearing and he gets his ban reduced so that will be 0 games. It's the new hearing system Tony Smith was raving about last week, which IMO stinks.

The Sammut incident is 1 game ban, no more no less, but he can just plead guilty and he should get it reduced like Bridge did last week.

“At last, a real, Tory budget,” Daily Mail 24/9/22 "It may be that the honourable gentleman doesn't like mixing with his own side … but we on this side have a more convivial, fraternal spirit."

Sammut deliberately used his elbow on the opposition player. The sort of incident that was common place before VR & I remember fondly. Penalty, end of. Bridge appeared to have far more intent (& possible damage) behind it but I gave him marginal benefit of the doubt that he was not aiming for the head. Bridge was more stupid & can't argue with the one game. If the rules still permitted it a 10 minute sin bin would have been sufficient. But then you would get the usual paranoid fans screaming about consistency.
