      Pfft.
      Fined.
      If he were wearing red & white he would have gotten eight weeks PLUS a fine.
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

        Happy the MRP got it right though aren't you? Thought Scott THompson should have got a fine or something. I thought the umps were meant to be cracking down on that.

          Would definitely have been a travesty for him to be rubbed out.

          What is galling is the sudden sympathy for him among the commentariat in Victoria. Surely it has nothing to do with him now playing for a Victorian side ...

          None of them gave a stuff about how Hally was treated when he played in Sydney.

            Mike Sheahan is ridiculous - just listening to OTC.

                No. Just felt it needed to be said.

                  Proves he is still a loose cannon.
                  My sentiments precisely, the 18 secs headlock using a vice like grip with both arms would have been very scary as the oxygen was cut off.
                  Thompson did fall forward as if semi-unconcious.
                  This in response to a pretty lame prank.
                  I'm staggered Hall got off so lightly, no way this would have been so light in red and white.
                  He was sucked in big time.

                      Admitted have only seen it on news footage but I think he "fell" forward in an attempted head butt. Thompson should have got the same fine as Barry.

                        Brain snaps don't exist, say experts.
                        Brain snaps are fiction, the real issue is control

                          You are taking the piss aren't you. Having a headlock around the middle of the head cannot in any way cut off oxygen.

                            Depends on how hard he's squeezing.
