@Duluth that wasnt him and was rightly found not guilty.
Yeah I added he was found not guilty
His defence was that he shoved the guy and the injuries were from the guy hitting the ground, not a stomp
-
@Duluth were enough witnesses to confirm there was no stomp...suggestions were someone else pushed the guy but the finger was pointed at him because he was a high profile player.

@taniwharugby perjury?! Lock him up

For whoever is interested in the rules around the selection of crossover matches:
The way in which the crossover matches will be determined is as follows:
a. For one of the crossover matches, the draw will be based on the team seeded first in the Premiership playing the team seeded seventh in the Championship, the team seeded second in the Premiership playing the team seeded sixth in the Championship, and so on. These matches will be home matches for the Championship Teams.
b. For the other three crossover matches, there will be a selection process in which there will be three rounds of picks that take place as follows:
i. In the first round of picks matches are selected by Championship Teams in reverse order of seeding (i.e. the lowest seeded Championship Team has first pick, the second lowest seeded Championship Team has second pick, and so on). These matches will be played as home matches for the Championship Teams;
ii. In the second round of picks matches are selected by Premiership Teams in order of seeding (i.e. the first seeded Premiership Team has first pick, the second seeded Premiership Team has second pick, and so on). These matches will be played as home matches for the Premiership Teams;
iii. In the third round of picks matches are selected by Championship Teams in order of seeding (i.e. the highest seeded Championship Team has first pick, the second highest seeded Championship Team has second pick, and so on). These matches will be played as home matches for the Premiership Teams;
c. in making any selection:
i. a Team may not select a Team that it will already play (for example, as a result of a pick made by another Team in a previous round); and
ii. where the process necessarily results in the situation described in the previous paragraph, the previous two picks in that round will be ruled void, and must be made again (and must be made differently). -
@Stargazer Pretty sure that has changed from previous years - where it was Premiership teams in reverse order of seeding and Championship teams in order of seeding - hence any Championship team that held the Shield usually ended up with two relatively weak challengers from the Premiership. (Though Otago chose Canterbury - possibly due to the exchange of brown envelopes
). -
They appear to be a bit different to 2017 - where the first round was selected by Premiership teams in reverse order.
Doesn't matter much this year, because the Shield is with Canterbury.
