The independent Match Review Panel (MRP) - consisting of Barry Such (Chair), Simon Micallef and Robert Wheatley - convened to consider the following incidents from Week 8:
� The incident involving Ufuk Talay (North Queensland Fury) in or around the 13th minute of North Queensland�s match against Wellington Phoenix Friday night. As the incident escaped the attention of referee, the MRP has the authority to consider the incident. The MRP found that Ufuk Talay had committed an offence, namely "Assault on a Player (e.g. violent conduct when not challenging for the ball)" against Chris Greenacre and proposed a sanction of two (2) matches. This is the minimum sanction for such an offence. The player has until 12:00 noon (AEST) tomorrow to accept the proposed sanction or refer the matter to a hearing by the FFA Disciplinary Committee on the question of the length of sanction imposed.
