Paul Vaughan is facing a 4-6 week suspension for dragging a player to his feet in SL.
HUH?


Watch the video and try to find something illegal lol
What a grub. Shirt pulling, hosting barbeques. What's next for this bloke? He probably sneaks through the servo at red lights instead of waiting for the green arrow. What a scumbag. Throw the book at him.

There's nothing in that play. Must be one of those "we sent the players all a memo and he ignored it" moments.

If he was actually injured I get it. Could have injured him more.
Guess he is being used as a scape goat to say its not ok to do this to a potentially injured player. Even if you think their faking it.
I'd agree with you if the player was flat out but it was pretty obvious it wasn't a serious injury.

Sure, give him a week if you want to make an example of him but Jesus 4-6 weeks for that is stooopid.

Even with player expected to be unhurt I was thinking he must have yanked him all the way from ground to standing (and even then 4-6 is too much)
So much more minimal than that, and on a player who was already slowly getting up

Wow that was even less from Vaughan than I was expecting, barely did anything

Yeah I was expecting something to be in it but is barely a shirt tug

Understand player safety arguement but 4-6 in this scenario is weird

Tigers chairman is at a loss to find the leak - just having a look at the coaching staff - I can spot the rat for him I reckon ..

Warriors have been gifted several ganes by dodgy ref calls

I'm still trying to find the 'push' Royce Hunt was guilty of against the Warriors earlier in the year

Cost us the game, still does my head in what the ref thought he saw

Now in regards to 50/50 calls, they are difficult for a ref to rule or not rule on either way and over the course of a season all teams should end up getting some in their favor and no doubt we did.

But now that I think about it when it comes to the total bs head scratcher calls I can;t think of any that went to us in our favor but I can recall some going against us.

Maybe it's just my biased eyes as a Sharks fan

But he would be right, cause we where inconsistent and lame for extended periods of time and struggled against better teams.
10-12 of the teams in the league were inconsistent and lame for extended periods of time and struggled against better teams.

Three more weren’t even inconsistent, just the other two things.

Yes, but if we finished second we’d have beaten some top tier clubs. And Gus still would have called it a soft comp…cause he’s a merkin

Vorn actually sped up the PTB for the opposition

Time to get over it
I reckon ey. So hurt over a nothing stir the pot comment from 7yrs ago that you create a hypothetical world where we have more success but we're stilll a victim of nasty old Gus. You could've dreamt up any scenario. We could've won the comp & everyone got BJs & beer but you went with Gus being a meany.

Yep, it's quite funny really. I laugh at the constant **** in here about Gus hating us. Anyone that listens to his podcast can see he talks about us the same way as he does every other club.

The logic is so insular it isn't funny. Same with Brandy.

That post is longer and more angst ridden than my hypothetical. Maybe you should be the one getting over nasty old me

Does this prize extend to forum members, or just players?
