From bad to worse as Rabbitohs star faces ban
South Sydney’s loss to Penrith on Thursday night has gone from bad to worse with one player facing a lengthy suspension.
Rabbitohs forward Jacob Host can accept a two-game ban for dangerous contact on Penrith playmaker Brad Schneider. He risks three weeks on the sideline if he fights it at the judiciary.
Host made contact with Schneider’s legs after a kick late in the game.
He was sin-binned by referee Adam Gee for the act.
“Very high risk of injury, running through his legs,” Gee said.
The Bunnies were down 30-12 at the time and went on to lose the game 42-12.
“He’s not really trying to attack the leg of Schneider at all, he’s trying to block the ball,” Cameron Smith said in Nine’s commentary.
“But in the motion of kicking ends up making contact with the leg. There is no intent at all.”
