Had he done what Maynard did, and flown airborne to smother an oncoming ball and cannoned his shoulder into a players face knocking him unconscious for 2 minutes, I doubt very much he would be getting the "good bloke" get out of jail treatment. Nor would a Steven May douchebag type either for that matter. And if it was Nick Daicos knocked unconscious for 2 minutes as a direct result of an opposition smother attempt, I doubt very much that the feral unwashed filth fans, who haven't shut up since Thursday night, would have shown the same care and support for the person who knocked Daicos out.
