Do you think it was deliberate or just a accident like he says? I have not seen the hit so I cannot pass judgement.

Hi shadows. I've gone through the sports pages of the local newspapers and I've looked for clips of the the hit and out of all this all I could find was news about the five game suspension.

I asked around work and no one knew too much about it. I'm going to have to say that if it was deliberate then Laraque deserves the suspension and possibly even longer. If it wasn't a deliberate hit then he didn't deserve any suspension at all. Knee on knee hits can be career enders and I would hope that no player would deliberately hit another player in such a fashion. Knee on knee can also easily be accidental so I hope Campbell reviewed a video of the whole game before he came to a decision.
