Toughness is not jabbing the bas or butt of your hurley into your marker’s genitals. We can think of four times this year where a player has required treatment for taking such cowardly hits. That they might have been the instigators or asking for it is no excuse. Low blows in the literal and metaphorical sense. Hit somebody like that and you should be banned double for being craven as well as acting dangerously.
