how do you know it was just reckless player out cold just accept it .like I said both players deserve their punishment not making excuses for watts.

Moaning? I've copied and pasted from the RFL website to provide perspective. Have a word with yourself champ

I am sure he will be more careful to play the ball on the mark next time, rather than sprinting downfield and copping for a second tackle.

Richie Mathers on Matt King identical...he only got 3 matches... it could be argued Mathers was much higher off the ground than Patton was too.
also King was stretchered off as he was unable to regain his feet.


I think the lesson here is when you have knocked someone out cold:
1. Apologise immediately to all those in the immediate vicinity of the incident.
2. Put your hand up to the ref and apolgise to him.
3. Put a hand on the unconscious player and attempt to wake him up with some soothing words of comfort.
4. Look crestfallen on receiving the red card.
5. Walk off the pitch slowly looking sad.

Patton followed none of the golden rules. He was still arguing with people as he was going off.... Naive Declan ...Naive.....

Didn't Mathers have to jump up in the air to connect with Matt King's jaw ?

I like the "leaving the field protocol " Biscuit.

Well that didn’t work for Ben Flower in the 2014 grand final?
