Crossland injury and ban dominate Australian sport talk

Original: injury

A gruesome injury to Knights player Leo Crossland in an incident involving Nathan Cleary has dominated Australian sports news, with Cleary defending Crossland while accepting his fate over the tackle. Crossland received a four-match ban, calling it the worst days of his life, and a judicial hearing is locked in. Separately, an AFLW rookie's season is over and the Dockers captain will avoid surgery after a grand final injury.

Why now: A high-profile rugby league injury, send-off controversy and subsequent ban have sparked debate about whether the injury should affect the penalty.
