I feel like I'm a somewhat normal person, and I think the very concept of 6 weeks for that is madness.
I've heard the Payne Haas crusher tackle and accidental and basically nothing, but we know how life-affecting spine injuries can be and pressure on the next in that way is risky to the tackled player who is basically defenseless. It's not exactly accidental when no-one put Haas in that position - so the main argument seems like none of us want him out for 2 weeks.

I wouldn't say Proctor put exactly put himself in that position (aside from opening his mouth), and it certainly didn't look like a premeditated/malicious act that he had set out to do. It didn't appear to cause any laceration and who knows, maybe caused some minor indentation at the time?, I can't imagine any long term injury as a result, and would love to know if there's any photographic proof of injury/harm due to that incident.
The main issue seems to be that it's a bad look - which it is, but surely there has to be some common sense around the actual damage/risk of damage/intention?

PS I'm not a huge fan of Proctor (and I think I'd feel the same way whoever the player), and I am a Fermor owner who could benefit from Proctor being scrubbed out.

Hmm, could be a trade in for Niu/Randall.

That’s what I worry about so if I bring someone in that price range in I’d go for JFH.

A bite is what exactly?

FalconSloth wrote:My take is that at no point he actually clenches down. in the video you can see that he is actually trying to open his mouth and pull back. it was unfortunate that Johnson's arm ended up in his mouth but Proctor didn't bite. If you push your arm against your bottom teeth hard it will hurt and it will leave a mark but that doesn't constitute a bite. In my opinion it wasn't a bite and with Johnson's support along with many ex players I reckon he'll play this week

Apparently Arrow out for at least a month. Fucking fantastic

Probably have to sell him even if it leaves me with 1 trade

No use holding that amount of money for maybe two weeks mate.  He may not even play again this year.
