it does beggar belief

no issue with players getting banned if they are consistent with the laws as they seem to be at the minute (not saying that i agree with it, but thats another one thats been debated already)

but how can someone who has retaliated get the more severe punishment? (they dont have previous record to go off for either player that i am aware of) so surely they should both get the same ban?

Would it be worth a appeal to the number of matches.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Always been a bigger punishment for retaliating

If he was retaliating what was Ellis retaliating for ?

If he was retaliating for the swinging arm to his head whilst on the ground - which is plain to see by everyone, why was Dezaris not charged for that as a separate incident ?

to be fair i haven't read the the outcome and i assumed the swinging arm was what he got the 3 match ban for

The only way i could explain that is maybe they have classed the swinging arm as a punch and the start of the fight
