[QUOTE="klitarris, post: 991659, member: 72501"] IMO Marler should get banned, there is no place for that kind of behaviour being broadcasted to millions watching the game. The 4 years length is clearly for if you've ripped someone's cock off or done what trf heineken described (sounds horrible btw TRF_h, hope all is ok down there in the long run!). Marler's offence was obviously not malicious or intended to hurt, and therefore should be entry level, if that. But an entry level ban of 12 weeks would send the right message. That said, the hysteria over this perplexes me, and is an indication of the society we live in where people take far more offence on other people's behalf than the wronged people themselves. AWJ, to his credit, seemed more surprised on the pitch and while he wants action to be taken, it doesn't appear to me that he wants to cry sexual assault, or get the police involved or anything like that. And let's face it, he was wronged so he is the one to dictate how offended we should all be. [/QUOTE]
