Quote: fez1 "Grade E - 4 to 6 match ban.
It does make you wonder if they've got the balance right when Josh gets 7 match ban for verbal abuse.
It's not as if Johnstone was in a position to thrown a punch back.
Ben Flower was banned for 6 months for punching Lance Hohaia when prone on the floor in the GF back in 2014.
Different in the sense that the force of the punch was significantly harder and iirc it knocked Hohaia out.
Nevertheless it makes you wonder........'"
Well, Flower punched Hohaia twice. The first one knocked him out and the second was when he was already unconscious on the floor.
So even though Dudson's was bad, they don't compare really.
