Glenorchy’s Zac Webster and Beau Sharman, of North Launceston, will learn their fates following well-publicised incidents at the end of the State League season.

Sharman’s striking charge arose from Saturday’s Grand Final defeat of Lauderdale while Webster’s came from the previous week’s preliminary final and was the second week running the Magpie had been in trouble with the tribunal.

Webster was initially referred for striking North Launceston’s Rhyan Mansell in the second semi-final which the match review panel determined to be intentional and to the head, offering him a base sanction of two matches, reduced to one with an early guilty plea.

Webster did enter a guilty plea but rejected the offer and successfully argued that the act should be downgraded to careless. 

Handed a reprimand, he was freed to play Lauderdale the following Saturday and was subsequently twice reported for striking former Gold Coast Sun Jacob Gillbee.

The first earned a sanction of three matches, which was reduced to two when Webster entered a guilty plea.

The panel gave strong consideration of the second strike to cause injury and considered it serious enough to be referred directly to the tribunal which will hear it at 6pm on Wednesday.

Forty-five minutes later, the tribunal is scheduled to hear the report against Sharman for striking Lauderdale captain Bryce Walsh.

The MRP determined the strike to be intentional, with medium impact to the head. Applying a 25 per cent grand final loading, Sharman rejected an offer of four matches, which could have been reduced to three with an early guilty plea.
