I'm a bit surprised Mooney's tackle on LRT over the boundary when the play had stopped hasn't been deemed worthy of even a look.

They said on Sat night there was nothing in it. He did have the ball and was tackling him before the boundary line. But the slam was a bit much.
Oh well.

I thought that should have been a free but nothing more, the MRP/tribunal shouldn't be suspending guys because umpires missed something.

That incident did annoy me- Mooney appeared, to me at least, to clearly know he was over the line and the whistle had gone but still dumped him into the ground- he'd been into LRT all night and the umpires had seperated them constantly, I assume the umpire involved in those incidents them must have spoken to the others during the breaks and mentioned it so they should have been hot on the whistle for anything between them. They appeared to give Mooney a free swing.

I sincerely hope that if LRT got the chance he would dump Mooney, preferably quite heavily.
