Re: Uh Oh - Thurston could miss origin
They showed on Monday Night footy various incidents just like this one where the ref almost always got up and had a laugh about it and noone was ever charged. Its a clear conspiracy if he does get suspended.

Re: Uh Oh - Thurston could miss origin
Seems like the media up here are over doing it IMO. We don't want to seem as petulant as NSW are but it's coming across that way.

Re: Uh Oh - Thurston could miss origin
Has anyone asked Matt Ceccin (sp) about what his thoughts are? When reff'ing Oztag players collided/made contact with me quite often, especially cover defence. However, there was this one time when I could tell that the player actually "dropped" his shoulder as he was passing me. I gave him a very stern warning. My point is Matt the ref probably knows if Thurston was reckless, or accidental.

Re: Uh Oh - Thurston could miss origin
All the reports I've read and heard say JT said sorry and Checchin accepted that on the spot. But regardless if you see the incident you see both of them bounce up pretty quickly and Checchin was having a laugh. Doesn't seem he thought there was anything in it.

Re: Uh Oh - Thurston could miss origin
lil snippet from an article from smh.com.au:
Cecchin believes it is no joking matter and is expected to refute suggestions he laughed about it when questioned by NRL prosecutor James McCloud and Thurston's legal counsel Alan Sullivan, QC.
It is understood that Cecchin said in his report that he didn't feel experienced enough to know whether the collision was accidental. That was on the field. Afterwards, he is believed to have come to a different conclusion.
Cecchin was left sore and sorry from the heavy contact and has been receiving physiotherapy for a neck injury, but was yesterday appointed to referee Friday night's Wests Tigers-Bulldogs match at Campbelltown Stadium.
Thurston apologised for the collision and it has been suggested that Cecchin laughed about it, but the Herald was told that footage of him smiling or laughing in the Fox Sports coverage was actually at the kick-off after Maloney converted his try.

Cecchin sounds like someone who wants to make a name for himself.
