Much bleating on social media and elsewhere about the week’s holiday being offered to Docker giant, Aaron Sandilands, but the MRP are following a well-established practice.
Sandilands can’t be blamed for being head and shoulders above the rest of the competition, at least in stature, but he erred on two counts. Firstly, Griffiths wasn’t his ruck opponent, and second, having chosen to bump, he (Sandilands) bears the responsibility for even coincidental high contact or injury.
It must be hard being that tall. There are probably less than a handful of opponents he can legitimately decide to bump without being in danger of high contact.
It goes without saying that there will be MRP decisions that will perplex and mystify, but this isn't one of them. Enjoy your week off, Aaron.
