Sunday, October 13th, 2002, 1500
NZT
Star center Ian Bell
has been given a fifteen day suspension for his actions
in the last seconds of the semifinal game against the
Cougars on September 12th, one of five suspensions
handed out after action continued after the completion
of the game.
Veteran
forward John Williamson
came off the bench to defend his team mates from two Couga(e)r
players, and as such received a stiffer suspension of
thirty days.
Fellow
forward Stan Greene
was also sited by game refereee Jerome Raateland,
but did not receive any further attention from the committee.
Viewing the written submissions, Greene was quoted as
saying "Hey, all I did was fall on the guy and said
I thought there was a lot of love in the room".
Greene
received a 90-day suspension in 1992 for elbowing, and
leads the Rodents with 362 all-time minutes in penalties.
Jim Carr also received
a 90-day suspension for use of the stick in the 2000
season.
