2008 Super 14 Rugby

[WestNZ]

Matt Henjak's hearing was held on Tuesday night after being postponed from the 13th of February by a Conduct Committee. The hearing was also held for Henjak's team mate Haig Sare. The Conduct Committee found both of the Force players guilty and the recommendation for Henjak was that his contract was to be terminated and Sare to be suspended for eight weeks and for him to pay a fine of $5,000. Essentially Henjak was found to have "savagely punched" Sare in an incident nine days ago and now Sare has a broken jaw. The final decision on the sacking will have to be ratified by the ARU but given John O'Neill's reaction to the incident last week, that seems to be a formality. RugbyWA chairman Geoff Stooke told AAP that the circumstances of Henjak's behaviour - which was described as punching Sare when he was sat down and unable to defend himself - was grossly irresponsible and disloyal. The RugbyWA statement read: "In addition to fighting in public, the committee was satisfied that he (Henjak) savagely punched Haig Sare when Haig was sitting down, vulnerable and unable to defend himself. "The committee was unable to find any justification for that assault which probably caused Haig Sare's jaw to be broken. "In light of the circumstances and in particular Matt Henjak's prior record, the committee recommended that the contract of Matt Henjak with the Western Force be terminated forthwith."

they should both go, if they wwernt semi decent rugby players, they would be in jail, or facing charges
