I fully understand where you are coming from. It's a hard one but I believe if foul play, even somewhat innocuous, results in a very serious injury, the culprit can't get away with a slap on the wrist. TBH, I think 4 weeks is a bit of a slap on the wrist. As I said previously about Kaufusi. He used to get 2 or 3 week suspensions for marginally high tackles which didn't result in any injury at all.

yeah but depends on there points too

so in an interesting twist the kiwis havn't named their 23 for the world cup. if they pick crossland now he serves his ban at the WC if they don't pick him his ban carries over for the first 3 rounds of next season. If they had already named their squad he would have served his ban over WC regardless

The point is the judiciary have ripped a starter from their main opposition.

Newcastle can have the NZRL state that if Crossland was not suspended they would have picked him, and then the WC can count as games missed.
There is precedence, I can’t recall who exactly but it did happen a year or so back.
