Stuart Waitley

It would be harsh if he got suspended for this, but I don't mind hearing from the tribunal to see what they have to say around it.

Yeah.

I think they all got stuck in awkward positions that it was almost impossible to get out of.

Yeah.

And no one meant what happened to happen.

No, and no one's arguing that it wasn't intentional.

The argument is, was it careless?

Did he exercise his duty of care in the situation?

And that's what the tribunal ultimately have to weigh up once, I believe, he gets three weeks later on today.

And does Cozzy Pickett have a problem with tripping?

Well, he's got a financial problem.

I think he probably gets a fine for this.

So tripping is a classifiable offence.

Harvey Thomas picked up a $3,000 fine down to $2,000 last year.

The fixed financial sanction, intentional conduct, low impact body contact.

Now, there will be an argument that it could be medium impact because Braden Maynard has dislocated his shoulder.

But I think the circumstances around Braden Maynard, the fact he'd already dislocated his shoulder in the game, means this is far more likely to be low impact and Cozzy Pickett walks away a bit lighter in the pocket, but available to play next week.

Okay.

The question being, how did Billy Frampton get the free?

Yes, it was a poor decision at the time, but drifted into insignificance.
