Just checkedout OzHoops as i must have been out of the room when the incident happened.
Clearly a huge raised elbow to Redhage's neck / face as Redhage set a highball screen on Wortho
By far the worst incident this year, worse than Hendrix and much worse than Loughton.
Surely he will get a game or 2 for the elbow
ummm, he has. check nbl.com or foxsports.com, both have stories.

Didn't even get an unsportsmanlike foul for it. IMO, should get one game.

He's been done via video review. Fox and NBL web site confirmed it.
I saw the incident on television this morning and it's a very intentional elbow. Hopefully he'll be punished with 2 game suspension.
was it a strike or a push?
I only caught a glimpse of the footage, and couldn't really tell. The elbow was too high, but was it moving or 'flailing' as commentators love to put it, or was it raised and just a high push?

The hit was so hard on Redhage nbl.com says he may be in doubt for game 2 himself after being diagnosed with mild concusion

The blow was a very hard forearm/elbow smack in the middle of chest and throat line. Certainly plenty of force to drop the Wildcat to the floor.
Suspend the King.

At least two games. Sydney are in trouble. A fired up Perth and no Wortho means the Kings could be gone earlier than we thought. A shame, 'cause they've had a super year.
For those who say Worth's a prick and so on, he can still play for us. A super talent. Brain-fades happen.

It was a love tap.. It's worth one game nothing more.
Concussed my ar%#.
He'll play alright tonight.

Older that was more that a love tap
And he went after him in the 4th as well
Wortho is a dog
The NBL shouldve made a example of him and rubbed him out for the rest of the series
Soft decision IMO

Not even an unsportsmanlike foul, it makes the officiating a joke especially after being found guilty by the NBL and given game suspensions. What is it that the refs cannot see?
From their angle, they probably can't see how high the arm bar was, all they could see may be the contact and redhedge falling over.

There are 3 ref's.......and ur telling me one of em couldnt see it??
Butler is a shite ref
There was a play where Rodgers was at the 3 pt line with Hinder on him.....Mildenhall deemed it a flop...which it was, and Butler called the offensive on Rodgers
If Butler is one of australias best ref's ......we are in trouble
