Forgot to mention, but in section 410 a group about 10 rows in front of us had a lifesize cardboard cutout of a woman that they had put a Phoenix shirt on. Didn't see the front of it until they picked it up to leave at the end and turned out it was Katy Perry. Anyone else see this?

Think I saw that on TV for the wee nix game. Very odd!

Sure it wasn't Pat Phoenix in a Fred Perry shirt?

Pretty sure Katy Perry is in town for a gig soemtime soon, so may have been a gag associated with that?

End of an era.  Vinnie - It's over.

Those were some fine chaps from Pukekohe AFC. They went on a bit of a stag do that night, and took Katy with them.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

He's lucky to still have his teeth then.

But maybe that gets saved for another game.  Ooops sir, elbow to nose.  Sorry - hey aren't you that guy that stood on my leg.  Yeh, you are.  What a coincidence.  Cheers.

it sort of looked like it could be deliberate, but can you really say that with enough certainty to justify the suspension? 

I've seen the MRP let players off for a lot less.

I missed it the first time but having seen it, I think thats very deliberate.

Straightened his own leg which protects himself and adds force and also didn't look down to see what he was standing on, because he knew.. If any person walks normally and finds the footing is not where it should be, they stumble. He didn't break a beat.

The lack of reaction is telling for me. When you step on someone, you usually react quickly to get off. Looked deliberate.

Was wondering what the ban was for but think it's far enough after looking at that. Too bad they didn't cite Jacob "Cage Fighter" Pepper.
