Quote: Iamlegend "Where have I seen someone get a forearm smash to the face before? Oh yeah, that's right I remember now, it was just before Ben Flower got sent off for punching Lance Hohaia that everyone seemed to conveniently miss! I remember the red card for it then as well... oh wait...
It doesn't make any of it right but at least there could be some consistency from the refs. If I remember, Hohaia got a 1 match ban and no red card.'"
I think Hohaia got 3 matches reduced to 2 with EGP, served them both in pre season.
I was expecting some large over reactions to this one. I've no problem with the red as there was direct contact to the head, he wasn't looking at him and had turned his back, I think it will be classed as careless rather than malicious and expect 2 - 3 games.
