What's going on over at Magic? Three poor results in a row
How good is Bridgey? Not bad I say
True, referees at times don’t deserve the criticism they get but where do you draw the line. Everyone at the ground including the players own coach acknowledged what happened was a dog act. If NNSW football don,t step in let’s see how the club and referees review panel deal with it.
I am not sure where you're getting your information from or even what a 'referee's review panel' is, but for a red card the referees submit a report stating factually what happened, i.e. nature of offence and/or contact, degree of force etc and then have nothing else to do with the process (assuming it doesn't get called before the judiciary).
100% on Northern to decide suspensions.

I think your a poor judge of the law chart if you don’t think that was a send off. I’d suggest reading it some time.
Not trying to be a smartarse, I am generally confused by your comment……
In your opinion what else could have the referee done?
He was in a good position and had the awareness to see off the ball violent conduct, saw it and reacted immediately, had his red card out before the situation escalated.
Referee assessors certainly watch BarTV footage for the purpose of assessing the referee performance and coaching. But what do you think that has to do with the sanctions handed out with NNSW?
Correct, I’m not questioning the send off just the referees report that allowed Sessions to only receive a minimum sentence. It’s not up to NNSW to determine nature of the offence and/or contact, degree of force unless it goes to disciplinary committee and even then disciplinary committee don’t rule against a referees decision
Have you read the referees report? Can you tell us what it said?
Regardless of the referees report, the disciplinary process decides the punishment and they are normally lenient and often slow. The report is just evidence for them to consider. It is well within the process to disregard the referees report if other evidence exists that indicates it is in error.
When I look back at some of the well known cases of the last few years, I shake my head at the generosity shown by the disciplinary process.

Maybe an outdated form, but it didn’t change for years so doubt it’s much different.
I think Stanley’s point is why it wasn’t severe etc and 2 weeks sounds like it was in the minimum end of the scale.
Imo, I see that point in junior, ID and maybe lower zone leagues.
But I doubt in this day and age where video footage is available to review that they would even look at the send off report.
What’s it going to say? “Player struck opposition off the ball”. A punch is a punch.
It’s up to NNSWF to to decide the penalty. We managed to find the video and have a look for ourselves, I don’t doubt NNSW had a look as well.
This one ain’t on the refs. Was sent off within 5 seconds of the incident without second thought.
Azzurri signing Jacob Melling for 2022 and Law signing on for another year. Fair signing and still pretty young
