If you want to try and make sense of the statistics divide the penalties by number of minutes played.
The real question though was what did Westwood achieve by his headbutt? Then ask What was the best it could've achieved and what was the worst?
It achieved him being sent off. The best it could have achieved was that no one noticed it (and punishment delayed). The worst was he is sent off and it costs us the match and he gets a lengthy ban.
In no way was it worth what he did. I should add that I like Ben as a player, but he does stupid things. I would argue his stupid things are more stupid than C Hill's stupid things. Hill gets criticised, Ben gets lauded.

Lol

I know this thread is about Westwood but whenever there is a bit of a dust up in a game I look at who takes the next carry.
More often than not it is Ryan Atkins and he did it again on Friday. I know he dropped a bomb with they try line begging but it takes some bottle to do that - especially a centre wwhen you would expect a front rower to be taking that carry.
I take my hat off to him. I would be at the back of that queue.

Unless we get a few injuries to the forwards i don't think we'll see Akauola more than a handful of times this season before we get rid at the end of the season. Smith Bought him and Price clearly isn't a fan of him.
As for Benny fair enough he had a brain fart and threw a head at Escare, but for some reason most people seem to forgot or have not seen him get hit in the side of the head by him. I don't think it was intentional as he was jumping up to grab him but he did in fact connect right to the side of his head. Now in the middle of an aggressive scuffle adrenaline is going and as far as benny would have been concerned at little turd just punched him in the side of the face.
Stupid move the headbutt but ahh well poop happens.

Stupid and paying the price. But we have enough cover and Ben can never do anything to tarnish his legacy in my eyes. He didn't have use of his arms when Escare cheap shotted him, I've no doubt that if they weren't tied up he'd have put one of them into frenchies face, as it were the only thing he had to teach him a lesson was his forehead.

I think we will see him over / just after Easter to spread out the playing minutes a little. He needs to take that chance though, as It doesn't look like he will get many this season I agree.
