Duo Souths that faces the suspension but Wighton lightened from the hip drops to drops

“I think anyone who has ever been to the Rugby championship will not agree that he was a hip -drug plate,” said Bennett.

“What should he do: touch him and let him run to the trial line? Because that’s where he was going.

“It was a tackle from behind, it was so simple. It was no longer of this. It was really a good tackle.”

The games review panel did not see any reason to regulate Wighton, who was not even fined.

The controversy and confusion surrounding the penalty of Wighton offered Bennett another opportunity to question the hip interpretation.

“I’m not sure what a hip druc is, to tell the truth,” Bennett said last month after a tackle that cost Souths Jye Gray’s full -back a $ 1000 fine. “I’m not saying it sarcastically. It’s a lot of confused rules.

The potential loss of Sullivan leaves the South that faces a short -term games crisis that could offer Bennett the opportunity for blood English import Lewis Dodd.

A suspension for a tackle high in the pre-stugial tests meant that Dodd had to sit around the first, allowing Jamie Humphreys To grasp its possibility with a dream debut against dolphins.

Humphreys has been a revelation since he joined the Rabbitoh this year after playing a lonely game for Manly, hitting an instant combination with the five-eight-eight-eight veteran Cody Walker.

Since then Dodd has found his feet in the NSW Cup, just to lose another game through the suspensions this weekend after a crushing equipment.

But Humphreys and Walker have both lost the loss in North Queensland with lesions to the knee tendon, and if Sullivan joins them on the margin through the suspension, Dodd would appear in line to make his debut in the nrl in front of an early crowd of over 50,000.

In the meantime, the Haumole Olakau’Atu and the Ryan Matterson of Parramatta will pay respectively for crimes of $ 1000 crimes if they declare themselves guilty of crimes with a high contact content.
