Now it becomes clear. coaches hide him in defense because he is a penalty magnet. Too.
How long will Quade get?

What do you suggest Scotty, a 20 minute suspension?

Sure that's a fine stance to take, but be bloody consistent with it. We've seen other high shots around the neck that haven't been given a yellow or a suspension.
Agreed, but does that mean Quade should have got off or there should be more suspensions?
I would suggest the latter

Not having a go, and I am not saying there needed to be a baseball style brawl. Just asking the question. Surely seeing a teammate lying on the ground with his head removed would give the Tahs some justification to let Quade know they did not agree with his tackling technique.

There should be provision in the rules for the ref to assess the situation and deem it time for an all-in.
"Oh, yes, that looked nasty. Go to it boys".
Ah, the good old days.

Like I said, pretty sure foley tries to go for a sneaky upper cut, but maybe pulls out of it.

Fair enough. It appears that some umbrage was taken but Walsh put a stop to that pretty quick.
Still, I like my umbrage bloody.
Yes... we would have all liked to see a couple of the Reds players engaging in the state pasttime of getting their front teeth knocked out so they fit in better with the rest of the locals.

Hey wait up, I'm supporting my dentist through the GFC!
I thought the brawling was as apathetic as the rest of the Tahs play on Saturday. Where's the passion?
Though you have to give them credit. The Tahs forwards dominated the Reds pack in such an understated way that it was barely noticeable.

so if they appeal will it also be a calendar week suspension, or a game based suspension? I say go for the appeal, what have they got to lose?
I'd guess the downside would be the uncertainty it creates.
Surely they just want to know what their team is and prepare for Saturday rather than be training with Lucas but still thinking Cooper might play and focusing on that. It would seem to be a distraction they don't need.
An appeal could also backfire spectacularly if the suspension was increased.

Im sorry if this has been addressed earlier but i'm confused as to how an appeal can cause the ban to increase? If Quade has been given the one week suspension doesn't that mean the offence was only worthy of the week? Why would it then increase to say 3 weeks instead. From my understanding an appeal simply means the decision will be put in front of other judicial officers at SANZAR and they get to have their opinion, is the risk that the other officers may decide the original decision wasn't harsh enough?
any appeal should be booked in for a hearing next Monday
In any appeal (whether we're talking a criminal matter or a sports judiciary matter), the original decision is reviewed to determine whether the decision made followed correct procedure/law. If the review finds that there were errors made they can overturn that decision.
By the same token that they can say that the original decision was wrong and there should be no suspension, they could also find that the original decision was wrong on the basis that the incident was more serious and that Quade Cooper's past record should dictate a loading on his suspension etc.
An appeal isn't just a second chance to get found not guilty.

There is no justice when one player gets yellow carded in a vital match for 10 minutes and suspended for a crucial finals game for the same type of offense that is not even reported in another instance in the same game. When the consequences are so dire the expectation of and right to just treatment is only reasonable.
The whole system is a joke and it's lack of consistency robs it of any credibility. In my view the first offense that goes on report should be a fine unless it is judged to be a high grade intentional and particularly dangerous act. Second offense for similar conduct within the same season could be a suspension. At least that way you moderate the potential for undue harshness for fairly innocuous and isolated events.
