Tribunal notes:

Umpire Christoffel advised he had given Daniel out LBW. Daniel had lifted his bat towards the umpire and indicated he had hit the ball. He also made the comment "you gave me out in the Grand Final and now again". He also said he had observed Daniel throwing his helmet over the boundary line whilst leaving the field. Daniel Pryor did not dispute gesturing toward the umpire with his bat, or making the comment about the Grand Final, but did deny he had thrown his helmet.

Penalty:

1. The Tribunal found that Daniel was guilty of dissent of the umpire's decision - PENALTY: TWO PLAYING DATES 2. The Tribunal found Daniel not guilty of equipment abuse - the level of "abuse" of the equipment did not constitute a reportable offence. Therefore Daniel is suspended from playing in any match under the auspice of the SMCA until Midnight Sunday 29th January, 2017.
