Gillespie Suspension

https://nbl.com.au/news/breaker-gillespie-offered-suspension

What do we think of this punishment- too much, too little, just right?

Def deserved to be punished and the league has historically been soft in these situations so they can't turn around and try make an example of Freddie when everyone else got a slap on the hand.

What’s the bet during the hearing they just say around talking about how great Xavier Cooks is?

$2000 fine move on, Bruce is an antagonist, it's like hawthorn complaining about verbalising, they greatest sledges going, Mitchell sooking oh my. Bruce in same category, I’m surprised it’s taken this long.

Probably send out warnings from here on it won’t be tolerated but hard to make example of him, in slow motion Bruce actually moves at him.

Total brain fart by Freddie, live and learn and move on.
It's not like he has a history of thuggish behaviour.

Didn't see the incident, but not surprised it involved Bruce.

Two games, one game with early plea. He should not have done it but if you watch closely Bruce does move to him saying something. It's probably the right decision though.

I think 2 down to 1 is spot on as a penalty.
When it involves the grubbiest instigator of the past decade there is a natural urge to show more leniency, but an action like this has to cost a game.

Wow, surprised people ok with that. I thought it deserved 4 weeks at least. Hopefully he's learnt a lesson. Breakers need him

Agree, it warranted more than 1 game IMO but so it goes.

Pair this with his performances during the blitz.. what sort of impact does he have this year?

Too early to tell.

Many new import bigs struggle early, with the referring and/or game style.
