0.031 - 13.649 Adam Simpson

Hey, I feel like the misreader is using Cozzy Pickett's previous tribunal form as an overlay to this moment. This is not a suspension. But beyond that, as you were interested in, it clearly infected his game yesterday.

It did. And he's trying to work out, okay, if you're in the box, and I know King's just starting out, and you go, okay, he's rattled. Something's wrong. He's really – you could see it on the TV.

Watch the replay.

Yeah. Hands in his head on the bench and – And it reminded me of the Andrew Gaff situation way back when, when he accidentally hit Brayshaw and got eight weeks for it. And the players, he went in shock. And I know this wasn't exactly the same because... realistically, he shouldn't get suspended.

And, um, you know, perhaps there's a moment where you can get down the bench and go, or a quarter time.

Chapter 2: How did Kozzy Pickett's bump affect his performance during the game?

47.315 - 61.898 Gerard Whateley

Worked really hard on that.
