It's not really like the SBW one. For a start the French player was falling into the tackle and secondly, SBW didn't use his arms. One mitigating factor for Ofa and one exacerbating factor for SBW. I don't think that was necessarily a straight red.
Also, Moody didn't have a previous ban commuted, his offence was ruled to be below the level required for a citing.
Mitigation doesn't change the outcome, only the penalty in terms of reduction. It is still a red card, the mitigation is given at sentencing and it is still a significant ban.
That is what I meant by Moody's matter being commuted. His matter was like Owen Franks not getting cited for eye gouging Kane Douglas a couple of years ago, at least neither can no longer claim innocence and clean records for their next infringement of scumdom, which is only a matter of time for both, they both seem to me to have gotten a liberal dose of the Richard Loe gene.
