see, the sneaky thing Arnies mates in the media have done has largely gone unnoticed.

last night especially was some brilliant work from Harper.

when Bobo hacked Muscat, Harper and Bozza both made comments that it was only a yellow and a 'misdemeanour' and that Muscat went to ground easily and milked it. they made a big point of saying Muscat was faking it to try and get Bobo in trouble.

then when Muscat elbowed Wilkshire, Harper and Bozza both emphatically stated that it was thuggish, assault, and that Wilkshire was legit injured, even though he 'seemed' to be fine once the punishment was dished out.

i found it amazing that Harper was absolute that Bobos hacked caused no damage, and Muscats caused serious damage. its an amazing talent to have all the way up there in the box.

but to the fans at home im assuming theres a lot of them taking Harpers 'injury diagnosis' as gospel. and therefore would def be swaying opinions on the justification for the punishments.
