A fair outcome from Judiciary Panels overnight for Richard Brown - however that Referee cost us the championship - and there is no redress for us- the following is an excerpt from the ARU media release
Perth Spirit Flanker Richard Brown was declared free to play this weekend after two yellow card offences against him from last Saturday’s clash with the Sydney Fleet were overruled by Judicial Officer Mark Groom.
Brown was sent off after receiving a second yellow card during the second half of the game at North Sydney Oval.
During the hearing, JO Groom took evidence from the Referee and Touch Judges before making his decision on the yellow card offences. .
The Perth Spirit play the Central Coast Rays this Sunday afternoon at Gosford’s Bluetongue Stadium.
In the first hearing in Sydney last night, the East Coast Aces will be without Outside Centre Charlie Fetoia for the next two Mazda Australian Rugby Championship matches following his suspension until the 10th of September, 2007.
During an overnight Judicial Hearing in Brisbane, Judicial Officer Harold Shand found Fetoia guilty of a Dangerous Tackle on his opposite number Ben Jacobs from the Central Coast Rays during Sunday’s fixture at Gold Coast Stadium.
The suspension means Fetoia will miss the Round 4 match against the Canberra Vikings and the Round 5 fixture between the East Coast Aces and Western Sydney Rams, also at Gold Coast Stadium.
