Short summary as it comes late this week. Lynch and Lewis are the interesting cases as they are challenging and have both been suspended. Lewis used a sly head butt that, too me, doesn’t look good. Lynch has already accepted a striking offence but is challenging the rough conduct charge. Video and details below.
UPDATES
- Tuesday 12:15pm: Details and video added
- Tuesday 6:30pm: Lewis found guilty by the tribunal and will miss 2 weeks. Argued that there wasn’t enough contact to warrant an offense. The tribunal didn’t agree.
