I have just made a call to the Bankstown Bunker to get the results of the Trent Rue and John O'Shea drives we have been debating.
The Appeals were set down for yesterday.
The detailed findings are not yet available however so i will not speculate on the Judges actual reasons behind his decisions but here goes
Trent Rue appeal dismissed and penalty varied from 6 weeks back to 28 days, his appeal fee was forfeited.
John O'Shea appeal dismissed and penalty increased from 28 days to 6 weeks, his appeal fee was forfeited and he was ordered to pay additional costs of $250.
So it does not look like any apologies will be required by the stewards who made the original decisions, I always said the appeal results would be interesting.
