I've heard the perpetrator has been banned for life from the Roosters, and banned for a year by the APFL tribunal. Apparently a Tassell I think, has been suspended for 10 games? Didn't he win the association medal? Not sure about any other suspensions.
What does everyone think about the penalties handed down? I know a year sounds a lot in theory (and kudos to the Two Wells Football Club for their punishment), but it's not much out of a senior colt's career. I'd like to see a rule where they can say a year or until your victim returns to football, whichever is the longer. If young Shippo chooses not to play footy again (and who could blame him if he didn't), then the idiot doesn't play again either.
Just to clear it up Jack - Luke Tassell won the U17s Assoc Medal. He and a Balaklava lad got into a rumble after the final siren - it was caught on video and both players went to the tribunal. Tassel received 10 games, 4 suspended - has never been reported before, doubt he ever would again - he is not a fighter (before this incident anyway) and I don't ever recall him being in any incidents on the field this past 5 years.
The kid Beefy, that attacked the Shepherd lad has been banned by the TWFC and by the league. I agree, give him life, football doesn't need players that behave like that.
Who was the Balaklava player reported? and what suspension did he get?
